Answer:

See explanation below.

Explanation:

1. Explain the difference in the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the Everglades.

In the Everglades, producers would be all <u>species of organisms that are autotrophs such as different species of plants</u>. Consumers are categorized into three: primary, secondary and terciary consumers. <em><u>Primary consumers</u></em><u> feed on plants (e.g. insects), </u><em><u>secondary consumers</u></em><u> eat the primary consumers (e.g. mice or rats), while </u><em><u>tertiary consumers</u></em><u> are higher predators that eat the secondary consumers (e.g. racoons)</u>. Finally, decomposers are bacteria, archaeans, fungi, or worms that live in soil which decompose organic matter.

2. Based on your knowledge of how to classify living organisms, in what domain and kingdom do the producers, consumers, and decomposers belong?

In Biology, the three domains are Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya; while there are six kingdoms: Archaebacteria, Eubacteria (true bacteria), Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.

  • Producers, that is plants, belong to the Domain Eukarya and the Kingdom Plantae.
  • Primary, secondary, and tertiary consumers also belong to the Domain Eukarya and to the Kingdom Animalia as they are all animals and eukaryotes.
  • Decomposers are classified into the three domains: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Bacteria belong to the domain Bacteria, archaeans belong to the domain Archaea, and worms and fungi belong to the domain Eukarya. On the other hand, decomposers are classified into Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista (oomycetes), Fungi, and Animalia (worms).

3. How did energy travel in the Everglades BEFORE the alligators were removed?

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- bass <-- bluegill <-- gar <-- alligator

Aquatic plants (producers) <-- zooplankton <-- bass/bluegill <-- wood stork <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- cattle <-- alligator

Plants (producers) <-- insects <-- rats <-- racoons <-- alligator

4. How did removing the alligators from the food web change how energy flowed in the Everglades?

Once the alligators were removed from the food web, the populations that were once in decline began to recover because of the lack of predators. Consequently, the lack of alligators led to the uncontrollable growth of racoons, wood stork, and gar, which could also cause an alteration as they consume ecologically and economically important fish species such as the bass and bluegill.

5. How did the problem begin, and what action(s) should Ranger Imani take to solve this issue?

The problem began when the populations of alligator, an apex predator that sits at the top of the food chain, grew at an accelerated pace. This led to the uncontrolled predation of other organisms that are also fundamental to maintain an ecological balance. Therefore, Ranger Imani decided to humanely euthanize the alligators, which were preying upon them. This led to a huge increase in wood stork, gar, and racoon populations.

Alligators should not be completely removed because they help to maintain an ecological balance. Instead, Ranger Imani should work on controlling populations by implementing Wildlife Population Management strategies, such as sustainable fishing, to prevent a certain species population from reaching a high number of individuals in order to keep a healthy ecosystem where all populations are stable because removing all apex predators is not the appropriate strategy as it significantly alters the ecosystem.

What is a hypothesis?
earnstyle [38]

Answer: D.) a suggested answer to a problem

Explanation:

A hypothesis is a supposition, suggested answer or a proposed explanation based on limited evidence which can be use to start an investigation. A hypothesis is more than a guess but less than a established theory and it can be tested through study and experiments.

<u>A hypothesis is part of the scientific method </u>because it is a prediction which can be tested and the results from those experiments may disprove a hypothesis, but can never entirely prove one.

It is not a conclusion because it is an idea which tries to explain an observation. It is not information collected from experiments because hypothesis are formulated before carrying out the experiments and it is not a widely accepted idea because it just proposes a tentative explanation about a phenomenon.

In light of the all or none law of muscle contraction, how can you explain the graded response?
Andrews [41]
<span>In the "all or none" law of muscle contraction, it states that when the stimulus applied exceeds threshold then the the nerve sending signals to a few muscle fibers will give a complete response; contraction. Graded response is dependent on how many motor units have been recruited. The more motor units, the greater the force in the contraction.</span>

The term respiration describes the exchange of gases between your blood and the air. Cellular respiration ________.
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

The term describes cellular respiration

Explanation:

Cellular respiration, also known as internal or tissue respiration can be represented by the equation:

C6H12O6 + 6H2O ---> 6H2O + 6CO2 + Energy (in form of ATP)

From the equation, glucose from the blood is oxidized by oxygen trapped from the air by the nostrils. The main purpose of cellular respiration is to generate energy required by the body for various life activities
