How will loss of an organisms from a food chain or web affect flow of energy

1 answer:

6 0

Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. Any energy remaining in a dead organism is consumed by decomposers. Nutrients can be cycled through an ecosystem but energy is simply lost over time.

An example of energy flow in an ecosystem would begin with the autotrophs that take energy from the sun. Herbivores then feed on the autotrophs and change the energy from the plant into energy that they can use. Carnivores subsequently feed on the herbivores and, finally, other carnivores prey on the carnivores.

How do some plants survive the intense desert heat and drought?

viva [34]

The correct answer is:

Plants close their stomata during times of intense heat or drought in order to prevent water loss and maintain homeostasis.

Explanation:

Guard cells tend to open stomata within the day when there are lots of day and close stomata at night when the sun is not present and photosynthesis is not happening. They will also close stomata if the air is dry or hot, which minimizes water waste indoors evaporation.

Answer:

C. Reactant and product concentrations in the test tube are different from those in the cell.

Explanation:

Cells convert some of the energy from ATP hydrolysis in to different forms of energy other than heat. ATP energy does not always generate more heat. Many times, energy is used for different purposes.

A construction company wants to trap pollutants in runoff at its sites. What should the company do?

Katena32 [7]

Answer: Plant grass and lay straw at the sites.

Explanation:

Runoff is a flow over of water or any other liquid over a surface causing erosion. The flow of water is of high speed and rapid. It is not absorbed by the soil.

Plant grass and lay straw at the sites is the correct option this is because of the fact that the grass and lay straw will absorb the runoff water and prevent the erosion.
