Most predators have forward facing eyes, while most prey have side mounted eyes. If you think about the animal behaviors of both prey and predators, you should be able to make connections between their eye placement and their necessities for survival. Most prey have side mounted eyes because it allows for a better depth perception and a wider field of view. This can help the animals keep watch while they graze in open fields. On the other hand, most predators have forward facing eyes because it allows them to focus in on prey while hunting and chasing.

Hope this helps. Good luck! :)

Explain how energy flows and matter cycles through trophic levels
kvv77 [185]

I HOPE that 1, 2, or 3 helps you!! :)

Answer:

1. The cycle of energy is based on the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. ... If large predators are present, they represent still higher trophic level and they feed on carnivores to get energy. Thus, the different plants and animal species are linked to one another through food chains.

Explanation:

2. When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.

3. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

How is today’s periodic table different from the one that mendeleev published?
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

It is also worthy to note that Mendeleev's 1871 arrangement was related to the atomic ratios in which elements formed oxides, binary compounds with oxygen whereas today's periodic tables are arranged by increasing atomic numbers, that is, the number of protons a particular element contains.

Answer:

Punnett Squares are unable to predict the offspring of an asexual organism because there is only one parent from which the offspring can receive genes from. The whole point of a Punnett Square is the fact that it covers all possible  offspring outcomes besides mutations from the usual two parents.
