The correct answer is A. Autotrophs fix carbon and produce oxygen for heterotrophs, which produce carbon dioxide for autotrophs.

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, autotrophs refer to organisms such as plants that produce their energy usually through photosynthesis and by using carbon fixation, this means they take carbon dioxide, sunlight, and water and transformed in glucose used for energy and glucose that is released. On the other hand, heterotrophs such as animals are organisms that need to feed on others to obtain nutrients and energy.

These organisms related to autotrophs because some of them feed on autotrophs such as rabbits feeding on grass. But besides this, heterotrophs use the oxygen released by autotrophs during respiration and produce carbon dioxide that is taken by autotrophs. Thus, autotrophs and heterotrophs benefit one another as "Autotrophs fix carbon and produce oxygen for heterotrophs, which produce carbon dioxide for autotrophs".

What factors determine whether a volcanic eruption will be violent or relatively quiet?​
denis23 [38]

Answer: Based off of the type of chemical reaction goes on in the lava before it explodes

Explanation:

There are  two main factors that influence how a volcano will erupt are viscosity and gas content. Both are related to the composition of the magma . Hawaiian volcanoes tend to erupt basalt , which is low in viscosity and low in gas content (about 0.5 weight percent).

Daniel [21]

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

Why do scientists consider vestigial structures (like a human appendix) evidence for evolution?
qaws [65]

Answer:

vestigial structures are considered evidence because scientists believe they are structures that were once used by a species ancestors but are not longer needed. these structures do not impair the organism in any way, so there is no need for evolution to get rid of them. for example, the human appendix is considered a vestigial structure.
