Why an energy pyramid in any ecosystem typically is limited to four or five levels only?

Biology
1 answer:
faltersainse [42]3 years ago
7 0
The reason an energy pyramid is limited to four to five is because as the pyramid gets smaller at the top more and more energy is lost.  Primary producers get 100% of the energy, Primary Consumers get 10% . Secondary 1% Tertiary .1% and Apex get .01% so after that point it has little to no energy and the Apex is the highest on the food chain.

Which of Mendel's postulates do these families demonstrate? Select all that apply. Select all that apply. Unit factors exist in
elena-s [515]

Answer:

If the question is referring to Mendel's postulates, all options are correct

Explanation:

Gregor Mendel discovered that certain components he called UNIT FACTORS determine inheritance. This unit factors were later described to be genes in modern genetics. He discovered that an organism receives two forms of this unit factors from each parent, which he called ALLELES. In his experiments, he observed that one of the pair of alleles have the ability to mask the expression of its variant pair. He called the allele that masks, DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked, RECESSIVE allele.

During his cross experiment, he discovered that the alleles of a gene (unit factor) separates into gametes, he called this LAW OF SEGREGATION. He notably discovered in his cross involving two different characters that the segregation of the alleles of one gene into gametes does not influence the segregation of the alleles of the other gene. He termed this his LAW OF INDEPENDENT ASSORTMENT.

What did darwin believe was the primary cause of evolution?
lesya692 [45]

→ Darwin believed that the need to adapt, in similar words, the changes occruing in the environment caused evolution.

The main cause of evolution, according to Darwin, was natural selection. Natural selection is a process in which a group of organisms with certain characteristics survive and thrive, in comparison to other organisms with different characteristics. This idea basically means that having some characteristics makes you suited for an environment.


And how would that ↑ explain Evolution?

Well, evolution is the change in species that occurs during time. But for you to change, there must be a cause for that change, which is none other than the need to survive, reproduce, etc.


→ As mentioned before, not all characteristics are enough to surive, and hopefully the image pasted below will help you.



Hope it helped,
