This is false. Organisms may play several important roles in an ecosystem. Consider for example and ocean shore environment occupied by a particular species of crab. The crabs are scavengers and eat any organic matter they encounter. They therefore play an important role in the cycling of nutrients in the ecosystem. The crabs are however also an important source of food for a range of other species occupying the same habitat, including octopi, certain fishes and sea otters. Therefore, the crabs are an important part of the food web in the ecosystem. Many species similarly occupy multiple important roles in an ecosystem.
The answer is d. The population of light-colored moths decreased and the population of dark-colored moths increased.
<span>Peppered moth color variation is a good example of natural selection. During the Industrial revolution, due to pollution, trees become darker in the urban area. Light-colored moths were, thus, easy prey. The dark-colored moths were able to camouflage on dark trees and avoid predators. The phenomenon is known as industrial melanism. So, in polluted urban areas, the number of dark-colored peppered moths increased. In the clean environment, were much effective in hiding from predators and they outnumbered the dark-colored moths.</span>
Hi there!
I think bread turns moldy less quickly when it is kept in a refrigerator than when it is kept at room temperature because bacteria eats foods like bread and causes mold, and less bacteria grow in colder temperatures. Since less types of bacteria thrive in colder temperatures, it takes longer for less bacteria to create mold.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
The correct answer will be:
1. Mutualism
2. Competition
3. Commensalism
Explanation:
In an ecosystem the organism interacts with each other in one of the following ways:
1. <u>Competition</u>- interaction occurs when two or more than two species depend on the same resources, sharing the same habitat and niche. These species will fight for the resources and both will be negatively affected.
2. <u>Commensalism-</u> interaction takes place when one organism is benefited while the other is neither harmed nor gained. For example- the interaction between Remora fish and large fish in the ocean.
3. <u>Mutualism</u> -occurs when the species are dependent on each other for the resources and both benefits each other. For example- the plants and birds co-evolved benefiting each other like animals helps in pollination and plants provide nectar to them.
Thus, the selected options are the correct answer.
Color, smell/ odor, taste
