Why are there always more producers than consumers in a food chain?

2 answers:

6 0

<span>Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance. A balanced ecosystem.</span>

At the base of each food chain, there are producers, namely autotrophic organisms, ie capable of organizing the chemical compounds in the soil (or water), so as to independently produce food reserves (sugars, starch). This process can be achieved by using the energy provided by photosynthesis. The producers are the only living things that can convert solar energy (light energy + thermal energy) into chemical energy (binding energy).

Point A is the same distance from the epicenter as point B. Using what you know about the movement of waves, how would you

never [62]

A. The waves would be exactly the same at points A and B.

Explanation:

The seismic waves at both point A and B would be exactly the same at the two points.

Seismic waves are elastic waves that spreads out concentrically in all directions from their source.

Both S and P waves are body waves that moves within the earth.
In a seismic station, the p-waves or primary waves arrives first before the s-waves or secondary waves.
At any point equidistant from the epicenter, baring any geologic differences in the subsurface, the waves would be exactly the same at all points.

The plant kingdom is divided into 2 groups vascular and nonvascular. describe each subclass. include key words such as vascular

BaLLatris [955]

<h2>Vascular and Nonvascular Plants </h2>

Explanation:

Kingdom Plantae on the basis of vasculature is divided into two groups-vascular and non-vascular plants .

<u>Vascular plants </u>or tracheophytes have a proper tissue-level organization and true shoot and root structures like leaves, stem, flowers, root etc
The tissue system or vasculature of vascular plants compromises of vascular tissues like tubular vessels – xylem and phloem

The xylem transports nutrients to various parts of the body from the leaves.
Phloem conducts water and other nutrients from the roots to various parts of the plant .

These are flowering plants that include the phanerogams – angiosperms and gymnosperms and bears flowers and fruits like the cedars, pine, clubmosses, lilies, sunflower etc.
Dicots are with tubular vasculature.

Non-vascular plants or bryophytes with an absence of proper tissue-level organization and true shoot or root systems
<u>Nonvascular plants</u> are small. Their transport mechanism is poor due to lack of vascular tissues
These plants are lack proper shoot or root system.
It includes mosses, hornworts etc.
Monocots are plants with scattered tube-like vessels .

Renin is made by ________.

Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

granular cells of the juxtaglomerular apparatus

Explanation:

Renin is a secreted hormone, stored and produced by granular cells. This enzyme is responsible for regulating the water gradient in the human glass and blood pressure. This enzyme helps regulate the extracellular gradient in the blood cell plasma and controls any problems that may appear in the arteries or in all blood vessels in the body.

How does Carbon cycle through earths systems?

levacccp [35]

Answer:

Carbon moves from living things to the atmosphere. Each time you exhale, you are releasing carbon dioxide gas (CO2) into the atmosphere. Animals and plants need to get rid of carbon dioxide gas through a process called respiration. Carbon moves from fossil fuels to the atmosphere when fuels are burned.
