Question

b. Based on what you know about Physical, Chemical, and Biological Controls, design and explain a possible solution for how to eradicate, or greatly reduce this new mussel’s population.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Physical changes are changes affecting the form of a chemical substance, but not its chemical composition. Physical changes are used to separate mixtures into their component compounds, but can not usually be used to separate compounds into chemical elements or simpler compounds
• Chemical changes occur when a substance combines with another to form a new substance, called chemical synthesis or, alternatively, chemical decomposition into two or more different substances. These processes are called chemical reactions and, in general, are not reversible except by further chemical reactions.
• Biological control, the use of living organisms to control pests. ... A natural enemy such as a parasite, predator, or disease organism is introduced into the environment of a pest or, if already present, is encouraged to multiply and become more effective in reducing the number of pest organisms.
