The cause of acquiring cancer does not only rely on genetics. Cancer can be caused by a lot of factors and the most common factor considered why it statistically appear to run in families is the family's lifestyle. Most forms of cancer are lifestyle-related, and can be prevented. For example, Colon cancer. Usually a person is at risk to acquire colon cancer when he/she consumes too much processed meats and meats that are cooked at a very high temperature, alcohol use and overeating. Usually this kind of eating lifestyle is shared by the family.

Sketch and label a food-web that includes at least 6 different items. Make
astra-53 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

Example of a food-web:

(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.

1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.

The next links are the consumers:

2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.

3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.

4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.

5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.

6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.
