1. How many food chains make up the food web?

viva [34]

Answer:

A food web can be formed by more than one food chain, since the webs includes all possible interactions that can occur between individuals of different trophic levels.

Explanation:

Based on the scheme shown in the image

<h3>1. How many food chains make up the food web? </h3>

This food network is made up of three food chains

<em>Plant → Bird → Snake</em>
<em>Plant → Insect → Bird → Snake</em>
<em>Plant → insect → Frog → Snake</em>

Food webs often include several food chains, since they are due to the interaction between organisms at different trophic levels, which actually happens within an ecosystem.

<h3> 2. Which organism is an herbivore? </h3>

In this case, both the insect and the bird are herbivorous organisms, since they feed of the producer, which is the plant.

<h3> 3. Which organism is an autotroph? </h3>

The only autotrophic organism is the plant, since it is capable of manufacturing its nutrients from sunlight and inorganic matter.

<h3> 4. Which organism is a third-order heterotroph? To what trophic level does that organism belong? </h3>

The third order heterotroph is the snake, since it feeds on other animals. The snake is a carnivore and can be a secondary or more commonly tertiary consumer, so it can be placed in the 3rd or 4th trophic level.

<h3> 5. Which organism is an omnivore? </h3>

According to the scheme proposed, the bird is omnivorous, since it feeds on both plants and insects.

<h3> 6. Which organisms belong to more than one food chain? </h3>

In this case, the plant, the insect, the bird and the snake are part of more than one food chain.

<u><em>Plant → Bird → Snake</em></u>
<u><em>Plant → Insect → Bird → Snake</em></u>
<u><em>Plant → insect</em></u><em> → Frog → </em><u><em>Snake</em></u>

<h3> 7. Which organism belongs to more than one trophic level? </h3>

The bird can be located in both the second and third trophic level, being a primary consumer —when it feeds on plants— or secondary, when it feeds on insects.

<h3> 8. What are decomposers? From which trophic levels are the organisms that decomposers feed on? </h3>

Decomposers are generally bacteria and fungi, organisms capable of degrading organic matter, thus enriching the soil. Decomposers can feed on any trophic level.

<h3> 9. What does a pyramid of energy show about the amount of energy available at different trophic levels of a food chain? </h3>

As the ascent of the pyramid occurs —or at the upper trophic level— the amount of energy available decreases. This is because from one trophic level to another only 10% of the energy can be used. If a plant has 5000 Kcal available, the herbivore that consumes it can only use 500 Kcal.

<h3> 10. Why do different trophic levels have different amounts of energy?</h3>

The main <u>reason for the difference in energy in each trophic level is that energy is lost in each one of them</u>, which the organisms use in their metabolism. A consequence of the metabolism is the loss of energy as heat, which is acquired by the environment.

A way to visualize the breadth and scope of life, from the smallest structures of atoms and cells to the broadest interactions b

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - biological hierarchy.

Explanation:

Biological hierarchy can be understand as the comprehension of the simplest form of the life to the most broadest and complex form of the life. It includes from the atoms which is a smallest structure and cells to the interactions of in between non living things and living things.

The broadest or highest level of the organization is biosphere in biological hierarchy in includes all other living organisms with non living things present in it. atoms to cell, tissue, organ, organ system to organism. these organisms shows interaction with each other and called populations that form communities, to ecosystem and finally biosphere.

Thus, the correct answer is - biological hierarchy.

What is the losing of water from organic molecules, then the joining of these molecules.

Vikentia [17]

Osmosis is a passive transport which moves water molecules from higher to lower gradient.
<span>Osmosis then is the movement of water particles from which has water and from which has not and to provide it with the sufficient H2O.<span>

</span></span><span>The concentration of salt in water affects the rate of osmosis because it will determine how much water should be transported or excreted or to be taken in. The cellular process is keen to the salt concentration of its system thus making sure to maintain balance between the salt concentration the right amount of water must also be in its area of release for any expected occurences.<span>

Deforestation of rain forests will likely lead to

lana66690 [7]

Deforestation is people cutting down whole forests of trees, andmaking it even less likely for humans to survive. Trees supplyoxygen, absorb carbon dioxide, and hold down the soil from washingaway or making landslides. The destruction and cutting down of forests is often done to clearland for farming, mining, roads, and grazing of cattle. That causesincreased atmospheric CO2 levels, a factor in global warming. The Cutting down and clearing of trees The action or process of clearing forests_ also _The state ofhaving been cleared by forests. Verb. To Clear of Forests or trees . The conversion of forested areas to non-forested lands. e.g. Cutting down a forest to make pastures. the cutting down of trees is called deforestation Deforestation means clearing of forests and using that land forother purposes. defforestation is cutting of trees. deforestation is when rain forests get destroyed and ruined 1. The state of being clear of trees 2. The removal of trees Deforestation occurs to create open space for urban or agricultural use.
