Why do plants not need heterotrophs

1 answer:

3 0

Heterotrophs contrast with autotrophs, such as plants and algae, which can use energy from sunlight(photoautotrophs) or inorganic compounds (lithoautotrophs) to produce organic compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins from inorganic carbon dioxide. These reduced carbon compounds can be used as an energy source by the autotroph and provide the energy in food consumed by heterotrophs. Ninety-five percent or more of all types of living organisms are heterotrophic, including all animals and fungi and most bacteria and protists.[4]

nignag [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

When two species share a common niche, then one is bound to exclude the other. This is due to the stiff competition for resources. The species with a slight advantage in acquiring the resources will edge out the other species from the environment. This has been demonstrated by George Gauss using two Paramecium species grown in the same media in the lab. P. aurelia outcompetes P. caudatum

Can you list the types of organisms in order in which they would appear during primary succession?

nignag [31]

Answer:

Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.

The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.

These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.

Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.

Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.
