The many eyes hypothesis suggests prey flock because:

#Unit 9. Evolution & Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Predators have difficulty reaching prey in the center of the flock

  2. Bigger flocks make it more likely that one individual will spot a predator

  3. Individuals compete less in a social group

  4. Parasite transmission rates are decreased

In a bioprocess, assume that only cell mass is formed. Due to a variation in process conditions, if the microbial cell yield has halved, what would be the rate of substrate
consumption to maintain the same rate of cell mass production?
