Question

 ** GIVEN THE BRAINLIEST** IF CORRECT!!

A scientist studying algae growth in a coral reef observed that the presence of a certain type of zooplankton inhibited the algae growth. The scientist hypothesized that the zooplanton was eating the algae. If this hypothesis is supported by experimental work, what conclusions can be drawn?
  The zooplankton will also feed on other types of algae as well as coral.
 The algae is likely sensitive to pH levels.
 The algae can be used to attract zooplankton in deep water conditions.
  The zooplankton can be used to help control algal growth in some coral communities.

Answer 1

Answer is: The zooplankton can be used to help control algal growth in some coral communities.

Hypothesis is a suggested explanation for an observable phenomenon.

Steps of the scientific method:  

1) ask a question about something that is observed.

2) do background research.

3) construct a hypothesis, an attempt to answer questions with an explanation that can be tested.  In this example, does the presence of a certain type of zooplankton inhibited the algae growth

4) test of hypothesis.  

5) analyze collected data and draw a conclusion.  In this example, the zooplankton can be used to help control algal growth.

Answer 2

Answer: The zooplankton can be used to help control algal growth in some coral communities.
