The energy passed to each subsequent trophic level in food chain is 10% of the energy in the last trophic level. Therefore:
Algae- 4,000 kJ
Larva- 400 kJ
Anchovy- 40 kJ
Eel- 4 kJ
The reduction in the energy passed is due to the fact that when an organism consumes a given amount of energy, it is utilized for different functions within the organism's body and is lost in a form that can not be recovered, for example, as heat energy.
Answer:
The reason is because detritivores and decomposers and omnivores are multilevel food chain consumers in an ecosystem making them not qualified to be assigned to a given trophic level
Explanation:
An organism is placed in a trophic level based the level it is from where the food chain starts with the start of the food chain having a level of 1 for the food producers such including plants and algae
Level 2 organisms are called primary consumers and consists of organism that eat only plants known as herbivores such as cattle
Level 3 organisms are called secondary consumers and consists of animal eating organism known as carnivores such as foxes etc.
Level 4 organisms are called tertiary consumers
Level 5 organisms are the a p e x p r e d a t o r s
Detritivores and decomposers such as bacteria, earthworm flies fungi consume the wastes produced at all trophic levels, therefore they cannot be assigned to a particular trophic level
Similarly, omnivores consumes both plants at level 2 and animals at level 3 making it ambiguous to assign them to one particular trophic level.
<span>Firstly, producers get their energy energy from the sun through photosynthesis, creating or producing nutrients in the plant. A herbivore consumer can then eat it getting it's nutrients so, consumers rely on producers for their food but decomposers rely on a carnivore or omnivore (consumer) to eat some species of a consumer. The decomposer, lets say a earth worm eats and consumes the rest of the animal breaking it down to it's core nutrients. So I guess you could say decomposers rely on carnivores/omnivores to kill each other and herbivores, and herbivores/omnivores rely on producers for nutrients to eat</span>
I'm not sure.... but Manuel scalpels?
Many plants have modified stems that serve various purposes, including storage, protection, photosynthesis, support, propagation, and perennial growth.
<h3>What are the functions of modified stems, and explain them with examples?</h3>
Underground Stem Modifications:
- These can be found underground, as their name suggests. They have a variety of uses, including food storage, reproduction, and perpetuation. By having nodes and internodes, they may be distinguished from roots. They support asexual reproduction and the plant's ability to endure a period of hibernation. They offer a defense against animal grazing and environmental stress.
- Rhizome: It runs parallel to the ground, and its lower portion, capable of producing adventitious roots, can also generate scaly leaves. They have internodes, buds, and nodes. Examples: Turmeric and ginger. The rootstock in bananas is a rhizome that develops vertically.
- Bulb: Modified bulbs are visible, and the stem is shortened and ringed with scale leaves. Examples: Tulips, Lilies, Daffodils, Onion, Garlic
- Corm: A short erect stalk with scaly leaves covers it. When compared to bulbs, it is tough. Examples: Colocasia, Yam, Saffron
- Tuber: The fleshy, food-storing stem terminal is present in this instance. Nodes and internodes are present in the stem; however, they are not identifiable because of swelling. Scaly leaves present at nodes can be interpreted as eyes or scars. Examples: Potato, Artichokes.
