Answer:

The matter that is not consumed by the consumers in the food chain becomes a detritus, which means waste or the materials that are uneaten by the consumers. These materials are left to be decomposed, it is then broken down by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria into simple compounds. It is often considered as a missing mass while measuring the mass in the food chain.

Kinda like a pyramid. The bottom is wide, many sources of energy (plant life) that take nutrients combine them with water use the bonding of the suns rays and convert that to matter. This matter is then consumed by animals (grazers and browsers), who in turn are fed upon by predators. With man as the top predator.

Take a few seeds from wire-grass. Wire-grass grows in many natural communities, it is eaten by rodents and birds, like Quail. Quail are eaten by snakes, who are eaten by hawks, bobcats, and raccoons.

every time the meal is transferred from one critter to the next, energy is expended in the chase (heat) and capture, and energy is always being used for the animals to survive day by day.

<em>b. long-term memory </em>

<em>c. breath holding </em>

<em>d. circadian rhythm </em>

The cerebral cortex plays a major role in all of the following except d. circadian rhythm

The cerebrum is split into the left and right hemispheres, while the cerebral cortex makes up the outer layer of the brain and is comprised of gray matter. Gray matter is made up of unmyelinated neurons.

The cerebral cortex is described as having motor, sensory and association areas, and is involved in thought, memory, perception, awareness, and language. Overall, it is associated with voluntary movement, thus the circadian rhythm, involved in homeostasis and the autonomic nervous system, is unrelated to its function.

How do scientists decide when to change or modify their understanding of a particular topic?​
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

they carry out experiments to understand it

Explanation:

Scientists raise hypotheses which are tested by experiments made under controlled conditions in order to explain a particular topic. When a hypothesis is confirmed by the experimental data, the evidence obtained from this experiment provides the basis to increase the scientific knowledge about a particular issue. In consequence, experimentation can be considered as a critical step in the scientific method and research aims to advance knowledge of a particular phenomenon by confirming a hypothesis, which must be testable (i.e. verifiable as a result of further experimentations).
