Biodiversity conservation protects plant, animal, microbial and genetic resources for food production, agriculture, and ecosystem functions such as fertilizing the soil, recycling nutrients, regulating pests and disease, controlling erosion, and pollinating crops and trees.
They move waste and nutrients through the intestines.
The answer is “d” (1,000 kcal). As the trophic level increases energy is decreases by 10 times that of the previous level. If a system has 10,000 kcal, then the primary consumer have 10 times less (10,000/10) which is 1,000 kcal. The secondary consumers have 100 kcal and the tertiary have 10 kcal. Only 10% of the energy at each trophic level goes on to the next.
