The killer whales primarily feed on the secondary consumers in the oceanic food web.
Explanation:
Killer whales are the tertiary consumers and occupy the highest position in the ocean food web. They are predating carnivores and feed on secondary consumers like other fishes, marine animals like leopard seals, sea turtles, dolphins, sea birds, etc. These secondary consumers in turn feed on primary consumers like zooplanktons, small fishes etc which feed on the primary producers like phytoplanktons. The energy flow is highest at the primary producer level and decreases as it goes up to the consumer levels.
Does this include the ocean
Answer:
Photosynthesis consist of two types of reaction 1 light dependent reaction 2 light independent reaction or dark reaction.
Explanation:
light dependent reaction
light dependent reaction or light reaction occur in the thylakoid of granum of chloroplast.During light reaction light energy is absorbed by various pigments of the photosystem and is finally converted into chemical energy.
During light reaction water is split in presence of sunlight to form H+ and OH- ions.The OH- ions releases electron.The released electron is then transported through various electron carriers resulting in the formation of ATP molecule by cyclic photo phosphorylation and NADPH by noncyclic photophosphorylation.
Light independent reaction
Light independent reaction or dark reaction occur in the stroma of chloroplast.The ATP and NADPH that is formed during light reaction is used as 3:2 ratio for per molecule of glucose production.
If you were to remove the decomposers all of the dead plants and animals on the ground floor would remain there and cause a build up of dead animals and plant matter not being removed via the decomposers
