Biology

Leokris [45]3 years ago
6 0

The decomposition of the whale enriches the sediment.


<span>When a whale dies, it falls to the ocean floor. Its dead body is known as whale-fall. This whale-fall provides nutrients for a whale-fall community, which includes bacteria, crabs, worms and other invertebrates. Organic fragments from the whale-fall enrich the sediments nearby. Enrichment opportunists colonize the whalebone and surrounding sediment in order to feed on these organic fragments.</span>

kherson [118]

A trophic level is each step in a food chain that demonstrates the transfer of energy.

A trophic level is any feeding level in a food chain through which energy in the form of food is transferred in an ecosystem. A food chain contains five main trophic levels which are; (i) primary producers (autotrophs; plants and algae), (ii) primary consumers (herbivores), (iii) Secondary consumers (carnivores and omnivores), (iv) Tertiary consumers (carnivores and omnivores) and (v) Apex predators.
