1. An example of secondary consumer is snake. Secondary consumers are the ones who eat the primary consumers, which makes them carnivore.
2. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and (some other organisms) that converts water (H2O) and carbon dioxide (CO2) with the presence of sun energy (collected in the chloroplasts) into chemical energy that is later stored in sugars (carbohydrates). Organisms that do the photosynthesis are called autotrophs (produce food by themselves).
3. The energy pyramid represents energy flow in a community, where the different levels represent different groups of organisms.
The food chain is a circulation of energy that comes from the sun and passes from the producer organisms to the primary consumer, secondary and tertiary consumer organisms.
4. For example, plant is producer that is eaten by primary consumer-herbivore (e.g. bugs). Than secondary consumer-carnivore (e.g. snake) eat that herbivore and than is being eaten by tertiary consumer (apex predator that have no natural predator).
5. One trophic level gets only 10% of the energy of the previous level. So, if the plant have 10.000 units of energy and is eaten by rabbit, rabbit gets 1000 units of energy, and when the fox eats an rabbit, it gets 100 units of energy.
6. Trophic level is the position of an organism in the food chain.
Answer:
The Mendelian principles of inheritance ARE APPLIED IN HUMANS. Both plants and animalls posseses two alleles (forms) of each gene, and are inherited in Mendelian ways. Some genetic diseases are Mendelian diseases and are inherited according to Mendel laws, those are the diseases caused BY A SINGLE GENE. However, there are multigenic diseases (that involves more than one gene), multifactorial diseases (which involves several genes and environmental factors), and chromosomic diseases (like 21 trisomy) and all of these does not follow the Mendel laws.
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer will be- Option-A
Explanation:
The Theory of Island Biogeography was proposed by the MacArthur and Wilson's in 1967 which proposed that the number of species-immigration and extinction rates are determined by the size of the island and distance of the island from the mainland.
The suggestions made by them are:
1. The islands which remain farther from the mainland receive very few species as compared to the closest mainland.
2. Smaller island shows a high rate of species extinction as compared to the larger island.
Thus, option-A is the correct answer.
Answer:
The fossils found in rock layers of different ages are related to, but different from, fossils found in rock layers above and below.
Explanation:
This answer gives the best answer. <em>Remember</em>: simple life forms gradually evolved into more complex ones.
