Consider this ecological pyramid found in the Great Lakes ecosystem. Ecological pyramids are diagrams that are used to show how

much energy, the number of organisms, or how much biomass may be found at each trophic level of all the food webs of a community. Note that the autotrophs are always placed at the base of the pyramid. Explain why the saprotrophs and detritivores are placed to one side of the pyramid.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

  1. <u>Option-(A): </u>In an illustrated flowchart, the movement of carbon atoms through an aquatic food chain is indicated by arrows.
  2. <u>Option-(C)-</u> An increase in the population of scavengers.

Explanation:

  • The ecological pyramid is comprised of different level of organisms as the energy flow occur through them in a more directed form inside the different spheres depending upon the medium for energy transmission across the given parameters or area. As, the arrow provides us with a more directed way for understanding the transmission of energy through different organisms and there respective levels inside the ecological pyramid.
  • While, the increase in the level of scavengers or the animals which consumes the left overs of other living beings is balanced with the addition of the secondary consumers to the aquatic ecosystem.As, it will provide equal chances and energy to the different beings inside the ecosystem.

Elan Coil [88]

The true statement about the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes is: (d) Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.

Sporophyte is the part of the life cycle in plants where the plants are asexual and in diploid phase of their life. The plants produce spores during this stage. In vascular plants sporophyte is the dominant stage of life.

Parasites are the organisms that live inside or outside an organism and depend upon that organism for their food as well. Apart from extracting food, the parasites also provide some kind of harm to the host they live in. Sporophytes are called parasites because they directly developed from the fertilized egg in archegonia.

The given question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Considering that the mature sporophytes of true mosses get their nutrition from the gametophytes on which they grow, and considering these generations as individual plants, what is true of the relationship between true moss sporophytes and gametophytes?

a. Sporophytes are endosymbionts of gametophytes.

b. Sporophytes are mutualists of gametophytes.

c. Sporophytes are commensalist of gametophytes.

d. Sporophytes are parasites of gametophytes.
