If an ecosystem was experiencing a prolonged drought, there would be a big decrease in the population. All living creatures require water, even the ones well adapted to little water. There probably would be as many planets, for the ones surviving would be ones managing to get water, or ones that can survive off little water. Now on the other hand the animals then wouldn't be getting enough food or water, so then again ones who would manage to survive would be ones adapted to little water and food or are excellent hunters.

You can also expect some animals to leave the ecosystem look for a better source of water and food.

hope this helps to some degree

Gnesinka [82]

The answer would be C. Energy is used through the food chain so energy always decreases. Population size would commonly decrease according to the pyramid of food chain but since there's no answer for that, C would be the most suitable

LESSON 4.2 Review

Andrews [41]

Answer:

Energy is said to flow in a "one-way stream" through an ecosystem. In your own words, describe what that means. Energy is not recycled. Energy enters an ecosystem and flows through a food chain, but it is not reused, it is lost as heat.

Hope the answer helps:)

What do we mean when we say that the genetic code is degenerate?A single codon can encode more than one amino acid.An amino acid

Arada [10]

Answer:

An amino acid can be encoded by more than one codon.

Explanation:

Codons are triplets of nucleotides in mRNA that are used for the protein synthesis (translation). A codon specifies a single amino acid, but there are exceptions. tRNA molecule contain anticodons, triplets of nucleotides that are complementary to codons. So, during the translation, tRNA carries the amino acid, that corresponds to the codon in mRNA.

Degenerate genetic code (more than one codon can code for the same amino acid) is important, because when point mutation occurs it is possible that the amino acid remains unchanged.
