Food infections have incubation periods of days to weeks, whereas the incubation period for food intoxications is hours to days. Please select the true statements that explain this situation.

> In food infections, the microorganism has to grow in the infected human host, producing more toxins as it reproduces. > The elements that cause food intoxications, like arsenic and mercury, are extremely potent in tiny amounts causing a faster disease symptomology. > The gram-positive bacteria, the organisms causing food intoxications, grow much faster than gram-negative bacteria, the organisms causing food infections. > Food intoxications involve the ingestion of exotoxins produced by microorganisms in the food whereas food infections involve the ingestion of the microbial cells themselves.

In the late 1960's, Robert Paine conducted landmark studies on diversity in the rocky intertidal zone, comparing the species diversity in control plots with diversity in experimental plots from which he removed the top predator, sea stars

After 5 years, 15 species of intertidal invertebrates lived in the control plots, while the experimental plots were dominated by only two species, one mussel and one barnacle. The process most likely responsible for the loss of species diversity in the experimental plots was: A. mutualism. B. predation. C. competitive exclusion. D. parasitism. E. resource partitioning.
