Give two ways that the activities if the plants in the illustration to the right would change their ecosystem:
Zigmanuir [339]
I am answering under the assumption that those are cacti in the desert. Well as we know, cacti are producers they have the ability to synthesize their own food using photosynthesis which is a process that converts solar energy into glucose “food”. It has the ability to be a good source to small animals with its fruits and seeds. An example is, some insects feed off the nectar from the cacti. A second reason is that cacti are carbon sinks meaning that they take in carbon dioxide. Just to familiarize you the formula for photosynthesis is CO2 + H2O + energy equals glucose + O2 . Without carbon dioxide none of it is possible. Without cacti, CO2 levels would increase leading to bad affects.

What did Charles Darwin discover as a result of his experiments with breeding pigeons?
katrin2010 [14]
Charles Darwin noticed that among the same species there were variations in traits based upon geographical location. These changes may have evolved from climate differences, predator/prey relationships and food sources. This particular experiment was intended to duplicate natural selection by demonstrating the concepts with artificial selection. The result was that over time, new traits could be bred for. Although there may be more than one correct answer here, the best answer is the first; desirable traits can be selected and bred in offspring.
