Descriptive and inferential
Answer: Natural selection is the driving force to explain the mechanisms of evolution.
Explanation:
◼In a given population Organisms usually produce more offspring than what the environment can support.
◼ VARIATION, is driving force for the manifestation of sustainable inheritable characteristics from parents in a given population.
◼ Organisms, who acquired certain characteristics from variation; tend to survive than others, and therefore pass these inheritable characteristics to their offspring.
◼There is competition for the available resources among the offspring which leads to a stable population in size after a period of time.
◼Darwin deducted that, variants of best adaptation will be selected for by natural conditions operating in the environment of the population at that particular period (natural selection).Therefore natural selection takes place, and the organisms with best variation will have selective advantage above others. Consequently they have higher survival rates compare to others in the population.
This is survival of the fittest by natural selection
, this is the second conclusion of Darwin theory.

herbs and flowers are important because they produce oxygen and use our c02
Explanation:
Answer:
In an ecosystem, all organisms benefit in the process of transformation of energy.
Explanation:
An ecosystem works thanks to the constant transformation of energy. In the case of microorganisms that act as producers, they benefit the rest of the ecosystem in terms of energy transfer because they acquire the energy from a lowest trophic level to make it available for higher trophic levels.
In the case of the primary consumers, they are feeding from the primary producers, incorporating that energy to be part of the food chain. For example, bacteria in the soil are primary producer microorganisms; they transform organic material to make it available for small individuals. A soil worm is a primary consumer microorganism which will feed from this organic material transformed by the bacteria. The worm will then produce food and will be food for herbivores to continue with the flow of energy in the food chain.
The governments of different countries are becoming more involved in protecting the environment as well as preserving biodiversity. Many different acts are issued in order to accomplish this.
One very prominent agency playing a role in this is the United States Environmental Protection Agency. This agency helps in maintaining a healthy environment for the life of earth to live in.
