Using the following biomass data determine which groups is most likely to represent the producers in an area
Vsevolod [243]

Answer:

The correct answer would be group D- 809 kg.

It can be explained with the help of pyramid of biomass.

Pyramid of biomass represents biomass or the amount of organic or living matter present at each trophic level in an ecosystem.

The amount of organic matter is usually expressed in grams per meter square (g/m²).

There are usually four trophic levels in the pyramid of biomass: primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.

Usually, the biomass decreases as we go up the trophical levels specially in  terrestrial ecosystem. Inverted pyramid can be observed in case of aquatic ecosystem (biomass of phytoplanktons is less than that of herbivores).

Here, maximum biomass (809 kg) belongs to the group D and hence, it would belong to primary producers.

Why is it important to prevent gorillas from becoming extinct?
krek1111 [17]
Gorillas are a predator. They eat food and rarely ever get killed for food. But if we take away their habitat by making buildings and houses then they will die for other causes like hunger. If the gorillas go extinct then the food change will get all messed up. The food they normally eat will over populate meaning the food gorillas eat (like fruit) will over populates and take over the area. That means it will start to take up the space that other plants need to grow. The other plants that other animals will need to eat will slowly start moving away because their food is dying. They will start to go somewhere else and mess up that habitat too. Those animals will eat the food needed by the animals that lived there originally and food will become scarce for animals that all need the same type of resources.

The autonomic nervous system (ANS) plays a crucial role in the stress responses by regulating chiefly the ________ and ________
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer: lymphatic circulatory; respiratory

Explanation:

The autonomic nervous system controls the internal body functions and responses which are not under the voluntary control. The functions control by the autonomous nervous system are heart rate, body fluid circulation, respiration, urination, sexual arousal and pupillary response.

The lymphatic system is one of the part of the circulatory system, it consists of a network of connected tubes called as lymphatic vessels. These vessels distribute the lymph fluid throughout the body. The lymph fluid consists of white blood cells which provide immunity against the pathogen.

The respiratory system is the system which controls the exchange of gases (Carbon dioxide and oxygen) between the body and the environment.

Both lymphatic circulation and respiration are the two functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system.
