</span>The milkweed is the primary producer in the
ecosystem. It manufactures food from the abiotic factors in the soil such as
nitrates and water and those in the atmosphere such as carbon-dioxide and
sunlight. The milk weed is then fed on by the caterpillar and a primary
consumer. The caterpillar is then fed on the mocking bird (secondary consumer)
<span>b)
</span>Increased human population growth and their activities
have resulted in the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in
the atmosphere. This has increased the global temperature. This increase of
global temperature increase ocean temperatures causing coral bleaching.
Another example is depletion of water sources
by human activities hence causing drought. Drought reduces the amount of
vegetation growth due to scarcity of water in the soil (due to lowering of the
water table) for plant growth.
Explanation:
Melanin is the pigment which absorbs UV light and it is present in skin and gives black colour to it.As we can see africans usually have black skin as they have to face direct uv light.
Normally it is seen that objects with more mass accelerates during their free fall than objects having smaller mass. The frictional force of air also known as the drag force get negated by the massive object and so the object gets acceleration during the free fall. If the mass of the object is small, then the frictional force or the drag will slow the object during free fall. In case of vaccum the mass of the object does not matter as there is no drag or frictional force working against it. The objects with greater or smaller mass will then free fall with the same speed in the vaccum.
Its role is to break down rotting carcasses and dead plants.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Species with limited resources usually exhibit a <em>logistic</em><em> </em>growth curve
Explanation:
In ecology, logistic growth refers to the phenomenon where the growth rate of a population decreases as the population reaches its carrying capacity (the number individuals that an environment can support without facing degradation). To put it simply, when a certain species has limited resources available to them, as they reach their carrying capacity, the population of that species will decrease due to death caused by lack of resources for consumption. The attachment shows what logistic growth looks like when plotted on a graph.
