These first trees had a huge importance for the other plants and for the animals, and this was because:
- they managed to change the structure of the atmosphere by consuming, using, and storing carbon dioxide, and releasing oxygen, which made the atmosphere much more suitable for life.
- they managed to influence the climate, by making it more moist, and also making the ground bellow them cooler.
- they were producing large amounts of biomass, which made the soil types much richer in nutrients, which in turn enabled more and more plants to grow.
- they were a food source of the animals.
Considering the following statements;
A. It can exist without a constant source of energy input
B. It must contain consumers but can exist without producers.
C. It involves interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.
D. It can exist on land, but it cannot exist in lakes, rivers, or oceans.
The correct statement is C. that an ecosystem involves interactions between biotic and abiotic factors.
Biotic factors are the living things in an ecosytem, they include plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and others. Abiotic factors on the other hand, are the non-living factors in an ecosystem, they include water and air, sunlight, the amount precipitation in an ecosystem is also an example of abiotic factor. The two types of factors are crucial for an ecosystem to exist and thrive.
Answer:
This question is mainly related to diversity and evolution. Lower trophic levels means simple organisms in which evolution happened faster than the bigger trophic level organisms.
Explanation:
In principle, faster evolution means more rapid change in genetic material. Therefore, simple organisms respond quickly to the changes in environment and they have more chances of going into separate lineage whereas in higher organisms it gets difficult. This is the reason that we have more diversity in smaller organisms as compared to the larger organisms.
On Earth, we all know gravity affects everything around us. ... There's no gravity to pull blood into the lower part of the body. Instead, blood goes to the chest and head, causing astronauts to have puffy faces and bulging blood vessels in their necks.
B because the organism needs the organelle to function
