Numerous ecological and financial problems have arisen as a result of these mussels' quick expansion around the lake. Large volumes of water are filtered by them, making the water clearer, but they also upset the food chain by reducing the number of plankton, which is a vital source of food for local fish. Zebra mussels are a serious environmental problem in Lake Erie since they have also damaged boats, water intake pipelines, and other infrastructure.","mcq_options":[{"right":"yes","answer":"Lake Erie"},{"right":"no","answer":"Lake Superior"},{"right":"no","answer":"Lake Michigan"},{"right":"no","answer":"Lake Ontario"}],"multi_answers":"no","subject_terms":[{"id":1846,"title":"Geography of the United States","slug":"geography-of-the-united-states"}],"topic_terms":[{"id":1749,"title":"The Great Lakes and other major lakes in the United States","slug":"the-great-lakes-and-other-major-lakes-in-the-united-states"},{"id":1747,"title":"The Rivers and Waterways of the United States","slug":"the-rivers-and-waterways-of-the-united-states"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq\/10675","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/mcq"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/mcq"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3502"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10675"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10675"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic?post=10675"},{"taxonomy":"subject","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mcqacademy.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/subject?post=10675"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
