Fungi act as decomposers on dead plants and animals so they don't vlog everything up! Hope this helps.

Which diagram shows the pathway of energy through an ecosystem?

Iteru [2.4K]

Question 1:
The correct answer should be the one that shows the producer first, (->) followed by the herbivore, (->) with the carnivore last.
Producers are organisms that harvest their own 'food' using things like the sunlight and water. Examples of producers are grass and other vegetation.

$Producer$
The herbivore, or an organism that consumes only vegetation and/or algae, consumes the producer.

$Producer$ ⇒ $Herbivore$
The carnivore consumes meat, or other animals such as the herbivore. It's the last.

$Producer$ ⇒ $Herbivore$ ⇒ $Carnivore$
Therefore the answer is B.

Question 2:
I'm pretty sure that succession as well as regrowth after volcanic eruption (Just look at Mount St. Helens. After 30-35 years after the eruption, nature is still recovering) happens over time/slowly. I would say global warming [C](?) would be the answer.

When you hear the term mutation, you usually think of change. But how do mutations influence traits that may be inherited?

lana [24]

Hereditary mutation - may be passed to another generation, occurs in gametes, variation that may enhance survival.

Somatic mutation - not passed from generation to generations, occurs in body cells.

Both- changes in DNA.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mutations are defined as sudden changes in DNA that takes place by changing a particular nucleotide or a portion of DNA, or even a whole chromosome which has potential to change characters of an organism. Mutation was first proposed by Hugo de Vries who is also known as the Father of Mutation Theory.

Mutations can occur in any cell of body. It may occur in somatic cells, or in germ mother cells. But the mutations that occur in germ mother cells are actually the mutations that are carried forward by the gametes into next generations. Mutation in somatic cells get obliterated as the organism dies. And the Mutation in gamete cells are those mutations which are capable to cause variations in progenies which can led to better survival of the progenies.
