Explain why the number of mice in a grassland ecosystem is greater than the number of hawks

Biology
1 answer:
Westkost [7]3 years ago
5 0
Let's go back to "Darwin's" evolution theory. mice can be smarter than the average hawk, they are fast, have underground protection from cold,heat, rain,ECT..and they scavenge during p.m. hours, not all hawks are nocturnal, that's why owls are nocturnal. This cycle ensures enough food source for all predators. A hawk can consume at least 6 mice per day/night. rodents are natural prey for all preditors., even coyote. hope this helps, plus mice reproduce quickly compared to preditors.
hope this helps..

Most nonrenewable energy resources are burned for us to use their energy. Which of the following is a nonrenewable energy source

Burning is the process that breaks the hydrocarbons into water vapor and CO2 with high amount of energy. Coal, natural gas and biofuels all three are fossil fuels and nuclear products are not fossil fuel but radioactive elements.
