Marine biologist Dr. James Estes researched sea otters and their habitats in the Aleutian Islands of the North Pacific Ocean. Sea otters feed on animals such as crabs and urchins. Islands with sea otters contained a lot of kelp, a seaweed that is an important food source for fish and other sea animals. Islands without otters had large populations of urchins but no kelp. Given this information, what term best describes the otter in the Aleutian Islands ecosystem?(1 point)
keystone species
producer
apex predator
consumer************

John says that he regularly mixes his compost pile to expose it to oxygen. What is the most likely explanation for this problem?(1 point)
The temperature may be too high for microorganisms to tolerate.
Inorganic materials may have been included in the compost pile.
Inappropriate food waste may have been included in the compost pile. *
The temperature may not be high enough to encourage microorganism growth.
“Green” material has high amounts of (1 point)
phosphorus.
magnesium.*******
nitrogen.
carbon
