The correct answer is false and here is why:

Clear cutting refers to the cutting of trees, specifically all of the trees in one select area. Replanting is not done and this leads to deforestation.

Controlled burns have a completely different affect. They burn the under brush to help keep the soil rich with nutrients, plus they also help to prevent large crown fires that burn down whole forests from happening.

Clear cutting is a bad thing and controlled burns are a good limiter for a forest.

Which of the following is not a step in the process of natural selection

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

A step that is not part of natural selection is people select which individuals breed and which ones do not.

Explanation:

Natural selection is a process in which favorable or unfavorable environmental conditions determine the evolution of species, producing differences in their genotype over a long period of time.

As its name indicates, it is a natural selection, in which no intervention by people is contemplated, so that people cannot determine which individuals breed.

Natural selection implies that the characteristics on which the environment influences are inheritable, that there is genetic variability in the population and that the variability of these characteristics implies the ease of reproduction and survival capacity.

The other options do form part of natural selection, since they are based on the three premises of this process:

Inheritable characteristics.
Genetic variability.
The variability of characteristics influences reproduction and survival.

The producers had 6,000 kcal of energy , how much would be passed to the primary consumer?

morpeh [17]

Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.
