As energy is transferred through an ecosystem, not all trophic levels receive the same amount. The marine ecosystem consists of primary producers like phytoplanktons; primary consumers like zooplanktons, krill; secondary consumers like leopard seals; and tertiary consumers like killer whales.

Explanation:

In an oceanic or marine ecosystem, the leopard seals are secondary consumers. They basically feed on the primary consumers. They are eaten up by the tertiary consumers. The prey animals of leopard seal includes primary consumers like small fishes, zooplanktons, coral polyps, krill etc. The energy level in the food web increases in a top to down pattern. The producers which occupy the base level will be with high energy and going up the food web, the energy will decrease subsequently. Leopard seals are huge and eat

There are more hydrogen atoms in living organisms than any other atom, but oxygen is more abundant in terms of mass. Why is this

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Hydrogen and oxygen are often found in the form of H2O but even if hydrogen surpasses oxygène in number it doesn't when it comes to mass because M(O) = approximately x16 M(H)

What are the function of roots?

Andrew [12]

Answer:

Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods. The root differs from the stem mainly by lacking leaf scars and buds, having a root cap, and having branches that originate from internal tissue rather than from buds.

Which of the following examples describes convergent evolution?

topjm [15]

Answer: Option E (B and D are the only examples.

Mediterranean ecosystem with hot dry summer and fire can be found on various continents across the globe. Plants in these ecosystem have evolve similar adaptations to survive these circumstances.

Echidnas are egg laying mammals that live in Australia and new Guinea. They are sometimes known as spiny anteaters since they are covered in spines and mostly eat ants and termites. As such they resemble south American anteaters and hedgehogs but are not closely related to them. Instead echidnas descended from an aquatic platypus like ancestor.

Explanation:

Divergent evolution is a process where different organisms with different anscetors evolve independently and develop similar traits due to their adaptation to similar environment.

Another example is the similarities between hummingbird and hummingbird moth, the evolved from different ancestors and yet posses similar characteristics.

Carlos is studying the characteristics of a fundamental force. The force is sometimes repulsive and sometimes attractive. Which

aleksklad [387]

The answer to this question would be: <span>b.electromagnetic or weak nuclear
</span>
The electromagnetic force can be repulsive or attractive because it was influenced by the magnetic charge. The same charge (positive with positive) will be repulsive but different charge will be attractive(negative and negative). The gravitational force will always be attractive, not repulsive.
Weak nuclear can do both like electromagnetic force.
