Answer:
•The dodder plant is parasitic.
•The dodder plant stays alive because of the potato plant.
Explanation:
A parasite cannot survive or reproduce without its host because it depends on it. The dodder plant is parasitic to the potato plant because it derives its nutrition from the potato plant which is the host. The potato plant is denied its nutrient and therefore grows weakly below its maximum potential. The dodder plant gains while the potato plant is negatively affected- that’s parasitism relationship.
Answer:
I intentally had an incorrect answer the right answer is subjective in case anyone needs it not bias its subjective. Explanation:
Only about ten per cent of the biomass is transferred from each trophic level to the next. The remaining 90 per cent is used by the trophic level to complete life processes . Biomass can be lost between stages because not all of the matter eaten by an organism is digested.
The flow of energy from one level to another does not happen with 100% efficiency. The producers only transfer 10% of the energy they absorb from the Sun. The major chunk of the absorbed energy goes into the growth of the producers, the rest gets lost in the form of waste (shedding of leaves, reproduction, etc.) and the remaining 10% is the amount that is available to the primary consumers. So by this logic, if there is 150,000 KJ of energy available at the producer level, then, only 15,000 KJ of energy will get transferred to the primary consumers.
