Vibrissae, more commonly known as whiskers, are sensory hair
that generally have a tactile sense, which is equivalent to skin. They grow on
most mammals except monotremes (duck-billed platypus and echidnas) and humans,
though humans still have remnants of the muscles once associated with vibrissae
in their upper lips. Vibrissae serve a number of purposes: such as sense of
touch; detection of danger, air and water currents, and movements of other
animals; and the locating of food.
A symbiotic relationship in which one organism can take
advantage and the other is not harmed The treehopper-ant mutualism becomes
parasitic in years when spiders are rare, because the treehoppers no longer
derive a large benefit but pay a fitness cost.
Answer:
Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat. Energy and nutrients are passed around through the food chain, when one organism eats another organism. ... In each case, energy is passed on from one trophic level to the next trophic level and each time some energy is lost as heat into the environment.
They both rely on other organisms for food. In other words, they are consumers. They both somehow "hunt" for food, with carnivores exerting more effort as majority of their food sources will be running away from them, thus more effort is needed compared to the herbivores.
