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.

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.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

  • There is a balance of resources, shelter, and number of species inside the region which is under consideration.
