Ecological pyramids are graphical representations of the trophic structure of an ecosystem. Regarding these pyramids, check the incorrect alternative.
A) A pyramid is called a number pyramid when it tells you how many individuals there are at each tropic level.
B) The biomass pyramid can be inverted.
C) An energy pyramid can never be reversed.
D) The base of a pyramid is not always represented by the producer. E) A biomass pyramid represents the amount of organic matter found at each tropic level
C. is the wrong option. This is because it represented the energy fixed in each tropic level . it is never inverted because it flow upwards in the ecosystem. This energy reduces upwards the pyramid, it is largest at the base of the producers, and decreases in amount as it flow upwards from one organism at each trophic level to another. This is because each organism uses the energy for biological work
Answer:
Explanation:
Answer:
nutrients in the soil is the correct answer
Answer:
Reading graphs: The variable plotted on the x-axis is year while the two variables plotted on y-axis are both wolves and moose.
Interpreting variables: The population of moose rose from 800 to 1550 between 1965-1972 while the population of wolves rose from 24 to 43 between 1973-1976.
inferring: The change in population of moose might cause a change in wolves population as a result of the feeding pattern of wolves, perhaps the contest between them was affected by availability of another prey which allows the predator (wolves) to feed on another prey, hence increasing the population of moose.
Conclusion: The dip in population of moose between 1974 and 1981 could be attributed to voracious feeding pattern the predator (wolves) had on the prey (moose) which inturns allows the dip in population during the above mentioned years.
Predicting: If there is a disease infection in wolves, then there would be an increase in the population of moose the next year as a result of disruption in the predator-prey contest, hence; allows one to be more populated the following year.
Explanation:
From the above assertions, it could be deduced that only when the feeding pattern of the predator (wolves) changes then the population of the prey would either be reduced or increased.
