Answer:There is a fundamental difference in the way energy and matter flows through an ecosystem.Matter flows through the ecosystem in the form of the non-living nutrients essential to living organisms. When a living organism dies, nutrients are released back into the soil. These nutrients then are absorbed by plants, which are eaten by the herbivores. Matter, once again, is passed on. The herbivore is eaten by a carnivore (and matter is yet again transferred therein). Ultimately, when the carnivore dies, matter is returned back to the soil by the decomposers and the cycle repeats. So you see, matter is recycled in the ecosystem.Unlike matter, energy is not recycled through the system. A part of the energy is lost at each stage.
Explanation:
Answer:
Population of cactus like plants which grows in the hot and dry weather of deserts,begins the flow of energy in the desert food web. Because plants are the only producer of energy in every food web.
Explanation:
Answer: The given statement is True.
Gene can be described as the segment of DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which codes for a particular protein. The protein thus formed, corresponds to a specific trait ( such as skin color, hair color, color of eye) of the individual organism.
They possess set of instructions for making a protein in the form of nucleotide sequences. Gene undergo transcription to form mRNA ( messenger RNA), which is then converted into particular protein through translation.
Genes are inherited from parents by their offspring and in this way specific traits are inherited by offspring from their parents.
Thus, given statement in the question is correct.
Answer:
Roosting areas in buildings of any height are the resource partitioning of both bat species.
Explanation:
- The <em>fundamental niche</em> refers <u>only </u>to <u>physic conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive in the absence of any interaction with other species.
- The <em>realized niche</em> refers to the <u>restricted conditions</u> in which a species can live and survive as a result of <u>environment physic characteristics</u> and the <u>interaction</u> with other species.
- <em>Competitive exclusion</em> refers to the <u>exclusion</u> of the inferior competitor by the superior competitor when there is not habitat differentiation, and both species can not share the same niche. In this case, the effective niche of the dominant species completely occupies the fundamental niche of the inferior competitor.
- Resources partitioning refers to one dominant species monopolizing the resources, and the other inferior species use resources -partially or completely-, migrates or get extinguished.
A way in which species can divide resources is by living in different habitat areas. These species <em>might eat the same food</em>, and <em>can roost in different places</em> within the same habitat. This resource partitioning and differentiation in the function of their physic location allows both species to coexist more effectively.
In the present example, both bat species can coexist in the same city but the weaker bat species (species 1) roost at the top of the shorter buildings while dominant species (species 2) roost at the top of the highest buildings.
Cause mammals are the only species that are well developed before birth unlike marsupial and monotremes
