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.
Hey The Law of Superposition makes logical sense but in practice it is the nature of the fossils found in the sedimentary layers that determine the relative ages of the rocks. Hope it helps
There's no land at the North Pole Instead it's all ice that's floating on top of the Arctic Ocean. ... Multi-year ice is thicker and has survived at least one melt season, whereas first-year ice is much thinner. Arctic sea ice usually reaches its minimum around mid-September each year.
Answer: B). fertilization, diploid
Explanation: During fertilization, the sperm cell (a gamete) fuses with an ovum or egg (a gamete) to form a zygote. Each of the gametes have haploid number of chromosomes (23 chromosomes) and they fuse to produce a zygote with a diploid number (46 i.e., 23 pairs) of chromosomes.
