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.
Answer - sea oats
Sea oats play a vital role in the development of sand dunes. The structure of their leaves and roots help in the trapping of the wind blown sand, promoting the growth of sand dunes and their stabilization. Sea oat plantation is encouraged in coastal areas to protect damage from heavy winds and high tide.
Answer:
The correct option is D, that is, THEIR FUNDAMENTAL NICHE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.
Explanation:
From the information given in the question, we are told that the expanses of the Great Plains, which was once occupied by the prairie dogs have been reduced in size due to increased housing and agricultural developments. This implies that, the habitat, which is natural to the prairie dogs has been reduced in size, in another word, their fundamental niche has been compromised.
