The different species present in an ecosystem make the ecosystem balanced. The species of an ecosystem interact with one another in one form or the other. For example, the presence of a plant species will provide food for the abundant types of herbivores present in an ecosystem. A predator might feed on many types of preys. Hence, the presence of different preys will reduce the chances of a species from becoming wiped out from the ecosystem. Hence, all the organisms in an ecosystem are dependent on another in some way or the other.

In sea horses, the female inseminates the male by inserting her oviduct into the male brooding pouch several times to ensure fer

kirill [66]

The survival of the species is ensured by C. by protecting the fertilized eggs from predators. The protection provided by the male increases the hatch rate of the eggs, which means more young seahorses. The greater the number of hatchlings, the greater the likelihood that some will survive to adulthood and carry on the survival of the species.

Gerald is studying the plants and animals of a meadow. He classifies the grasses and clover as autotrophs or producers. Give two

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

First evidence is both are plants.

Second evidence is both uses sunlight.

Explanation:

Grasses and clover are autotroph and can be classified as producer because they has the ability to produce their own food from the process of photosynthesis. Gerald’s classification is right because grasses and clover are plants and we know that plants are the producer of the ecosystem. We can also see that plant is the only organism which uses sun as a source of energy from which it produce their own food.

Mary bought three flowering plants for her garden. The first one has red tubular flowers filled with nectar; the second one has

uranmaximum [27]

I would say that the first flower attracts birds etc. t go and drink it's nectar (also I know that humming birds are attracted to red), and thus spread it's pollen. The second flower most likely attracts bees seeing how t is also sweetly scented, but has no nectar. This must mean that it only has pollen, which bees are great at spreading! I have no clue about the last one....Maybe bugs or bats?? Those are the only other pollinators I know of. It could possibly be that there is no pollinator for the third flower and it just tries to keep animals and insects from eating it with it's shape and odor and just relays on the wind for pollination.<span />
