What might happen to the ecosystem if toucans were removed

Biology

When toucans are removed from an ecosystem it leads to loss of hardwood trees, deforestation, and global warming.

Explanation:

Toucans are very attractive brightly colored large birds which are fruigivore (fruit-eaters). They are specially adapted with a large, sharp but lightweight bill which helps the toucans to reach to branches to pick fruits, berries, seeds mostly which are larger and difficult for the smaller birds to eat.  

Their main habitat for the toucan is the rainforests. They are woodland birds and stay mostly on hardwood trees.  

Toucans help the rainforest ecosystem to grow by dispersing the seeds of the fruits they eat all around the forest as they keep flying. This makes the species of trees from which toucans pick their fruits to increase and makes the rainforest healthy.  

When toucans are removed, then dispersal of seeds becomes less and spreading of hardwood trees will be reduced slowly leading to deforestation and drying up of forest lands.

Bigger hardwood trees play a major role in reducing carbon footprint compared to the softwood smaller trees and this increase in carbon will lead to global warming.

How does photosynthesis benefit heterotrophs?
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

heterotrophs survive through respiration, using oxygen and an energy source (carbohydrates, fats or protein) to produce ATP, which powers cells. They depend on other organisms for food and oxygen. Photosynthesis benefits heterotrophs in several different ways. First, "photosynthesis consumes carbon dioxide (a waste product of respiration) and produces oxygen (necessary for respiration)." Heterotrophs therefore depend on photosynthesis as a source of oxygen. In addition, "photosynthesis sustains the organisms that heterotrophs consume in order to stay alive. Even if a heterotroph is strictly carnivorous and does not eat plants, it must eat animals that eat plants to survive."

Deficiency of calcium in plants causes ______. A. wilting and poor growth B. chlorosis between veins and wilting C. crinkling of
lesya [120]

Deficiency of calcium in plants causes reduced internode length and crinkled leaves.

Initial signs of calcium Deficiency include localized tissue necrosis that stunts plant growth and causes young leaves to curl or have necrotic leaf margins, and terminal buds and root tips to eventually die. New growth and tissues that are expanding quickly on the plant are typically the first to be harmed.

  • These include boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. Most nutrient deficiencies are caused by a lack of nutrient content in the growing medium or nutrient solution
  • Plants require calcium in order to develop new growth points and root tips. Symptoms of a deficiency include decreased growth in new leaf, buds, and roots. Younger leaves curl downward and develop tip burn, which is the browning of the leaf edges and tips.
