Energy in most ecosystems must flow through autotrophs because only autotrophs can convert solar energy in chemical energy.

Explanation:

This suggests that these are organisms which are entirely based on the Greek name self-producers that can produce complex organic materials by fixing together simple building blocks in their local situation. E.g plants on land. Photosynthesis in plants transforms solar energy into chemical energy using electrons and protons from water. The method of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce organic aggregates and oxygen.

Which characteristic do protozoans Foraminiferans (Phylum Sarcodines) and coccolithophores (Phylum Haptophyta) have in common?

shtirl [24]

The common characteristic of those two organisms is hard spherical shells (exoskeleton).

Foraminiferans are single cell marine eukaryotes divided into granular endoplasm and transparent ectoplasm. Foraminiferans are enveloped with tests, hard shells, usually composed of calcium carbonate (sometimes from organic compounds or silica).

Coccolithophore is a unicellular, eukaryotic alga with special calcium carbonate plates (or scales) of uncertain function (coccoliths). Each unicellular alga is enclosed in its own collection of coccoliths, the which make up its exoskeleton- coccosphere.

The algae, walleye pollock, and orca populations could have all affected the moon jelly population. What additional evidence do

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

There is a balance of resources, shelter, and number of species inside the region which is under consideration. While, the moon jelly's population may increase due to lack of presence of the competition for the resources that are present by means of other consumers of zooplankton that would enhance the growth of the moon jelly's.
Along, with that the decrease in the number of predators which are mainly the big marine animals inside the region that would increase the level or growth of the moon jelly's.
