Some given statements about Auxin signalling pathways are listed;

a) The auxin receptor is composed of two proteins: the SCF complex component TIR1 and the repressor protein AUX/IAA

b) The binding of auxin to its receptor complex initiates ubiquitin-dependent degradation of the AUX/ IAA repressor protein by the 26S proteasome 

c) TIR1 recruits AUX/ IAA proteins to the SCFTIR1  complex in an auxin-independent manner

d) AUX/IAA proteins are ubiquitinated by the E3 ligase activity of the SCFTIR1 complex, which marks the protein for destruction by the 26S proteasome

One group of ecologists has suggested that producers are limited by competition for resources, primary consumers (herbivores) are limited by predation, and secondary consumers (carnivores) are limited by food. If this were true, at which of the following trophic levels would one expect to find substantial evidence for competitive exclusion?

In deep-sea hydrothermal vents near the Galapagos Islands, bacteria obtain energy by oxidizing hydrogen sulphide released from the vents. Giant tube worms, which lack mouths and digestive systems, harbour the bacteria in their tissues and use them as a source of organic molecules. Clams obtain energy by filtering bacteria directly from the water, and numerous crabs and octopi feed on the clams. In this unique ecosystem, the bactena are playing the role of
