Energy declines as one climbs up the food chain because energy is wasted as metabolic heat when animals from one trophic level are devoured by species from the next. This causes the presence of only a few organisms at the top level of energy pyramid.

<h3>What is ecological pyramid?</h3>

A graphical representation of the biomass at each trophic level in the given environment is known as an ecological pyramid.

Energy declines as one climbs up the food chain because energy is wasted as metabolic heat when animals from one trophic level are devoured by species from the next.

Thus, this causes the presence of only a few organisms at the top level of energy pyramid.

If you observed the sister chromatids separating during cell division, what phase of mitosis would you be observing?
Sidana [21]
This is the anaphase of mitosis. Anaphase is characterized by the separation of sister chromatids or "pulling away" of the sister chromatids from the metaphase plate to the opposite spindle poles. This is also the phase where chromosomes reach its maximum condensation meaning that the process of the reformation of the nucleus will be shorter and easier.

What are some possible consequences if transgenic salmon escape from their pens into the ocean population?
babunello [35]

Answer:

If the transgenic salmon escapes from their pens into the ocean population there are chances that they would compete with the wild salmons for food and space. They may also bring new diseases and changes to the food webs and ecosystem of the ocean.

Explanation:

A transgenic organism or genetically modified organism is the one that undergoes alternation through recombinant DNA technology.

No, I do not think that FDA should approve Aquabounty of growing and selling transgenic salmon since there is higher chance that they may interfere and disturb with the ecosystem and might also bring new diseases.

Question 5 unsaved in a tide pool, 15 species of invertebrates were reduced to 8 after one species was removed. the species remo
sesenic [268]
The species was a keystone species.

Keystone species are the species that ''hold the ecosystem together''.
They have an important role in the trophic networks (food chains) and often they can even afflict changes in the abiotic part of the ecosystem (change the composition of soil, purify the water, lower the effect of the wind etc)
Therefore, when a keystone species is removed it affects greatly the whole ecosystem.
