Plants are the basis of nearly all ecosystems on Earth because they carry out the process of photosynthesis. Plants harvest ligh

t energy from the sun and store it as potential chemical energy. When plants are eaten or die, their stored energy becomes available to other organisms. And when predators eat those other organisms, the energy flows into them. Each level at which energy is stored in organisms is called a __________. When an organism eats a plant, the energy and nutrients stored in the consumed organism flows up to the __________. This movement of energy through food chains is why models represent plants as the __________of a food chain or food web.

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In rabbits, black fur is dominant to white fur.
Fudgin [204]

Crossing a BB male with a Bb female:

The Punnett Square will look like this:

BB BB

Bb Bb

The percentage will be as follows:

- You will have 50% homozygous dominant (BB)

- You will have 50% heterozygous (Bb)

Now, for the phenotype, you will have 100% black fur, since B is dominant and is prevalent in 100% of all the breeds.

For the genotype, you have 50% BB and 50% Bb

¿Pueden dos terremotos de igual magnitud provocar daños muy diferentes? ¿Cómo?
nignag [31]

Answer:

Un terremoto con la misma magnitud y profundidad podría causar daños drásticamente diferentes dependiendo de la vulnerabilidad de la exposición. Por ejemplo, un terremoto M6 en California o Japón podría causar muy poco daño debido a las estrictas disposiciones sísmicas de los códigos de construcción. Mientras se encuentre en un país del tercer mundo, el daño podría ser catastrófico y se podrían perder millones de vidas.

Ymorist [56]

Answer: Aspergillus

Explanation:

Aspergillus is the fungal species which is highly aerobic in nature. It is found in the oxygen rich environment. This fungal species grows as molds typically over the substrate, as a result of high oxygen tension. The molds are toxic in nature. It grows over certain fruits, vegetables like apricots, peanuts, onions and grapes. It is the common contaminant of food. It is responsible for causing liver cirrhosis.

On the basis of the given situation this can be said that Steve is infected by Aspergillus.
