Answer:

Option D, Food chains are linear, while food webs are complex.

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear organization in which the producer lies at the first stage followed by consumer organisms lying at primary, secondary and tertiary stages of food chain.

While in a food web, there can be several interlinked food chains or there can be an organism within the food web which is part of several food chains at an instance. Hence, the linearity of organization cannot be retained in case of food web thereby making it more complex than the food chain.  

Hence, option D is correct.

Summarize the nitrogen cycle and it’s importance of proteins and DNA
iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA

Explanation:

Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen.  The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.

Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.

Which is a weakness of traditional food webs when they are applied to complex ecological problems?
Anna007 [38]

A food web does not represent all the links in an actual ecosystem.

Explanation:

A food web is also called food cycle. It is understood by the natural interconnection of chain and their graphical representation.  The concept is given by Charles Elton. He mentioned about the concept of food cycles in Animal Ecology but later this food cycle is replaced by food web.

Food web are limited representation of eco system. Ecologists can keep together all life forms broadly into one of the two categories which is called tropic levels.  These two categories are autotrophs and heterotrophs
