Answer;

The insect might be an unknown variation or a new species.

Explanation;

  • A dichotomous key is a biological tool that is used by scientists to identify unknown organisms. It is used to identify organisms in an ecosystem such as trees, mammals, fish, etc.
  • Dichotomous key consist of a series of steps or statements about a specific characteristics of organisms that leads to the correct name of a given organism.
  • If the scientist went through all the possible steps correctly in a dichotomous key and was unable to identify the insect, it means the insect might have been unknown variation or a new species.

In 3–5 sentences, compare and contrast the flow of matter and energy in each trophic level for land-based ecosystems and marine
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Unlike matter, as energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction, from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to omnivores and carnivores and decomposers, less and less energy becomes available to support life.

Explanation:

Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose, and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.

Energy is acquired by living things in three ways: photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and the consumption and digestion of other living or previously-living organisms by heterotrophs.

Living organisms would not be able to assemble macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and complex carbohydrates) from their monomeric subunits without a constant energy input.
