1 answer:

Answer: The producers refers to green plants that carry out the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for themselves and others. The principal function of producers is to manufacture food for themselves and all other living organisms.

The consumers refers to those living organisms that can not produce their own food and have to depend on the food produce by others. Consumers can be categorized into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers depending on where they are located on the trophic levels. They can also be classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores depending on the type of food they eat. The major function of consumers is transference of energy. Consumers transfer the energy they obtain from the food they eat to those animals that feed on them.

The decomposers are those micro organisms that are majorly found in soils.The principal function of decomposers is to break down dead organic matters so that they can be absorbed by the roots of plants. The broken down organic substances serve as nutrients, which the plants used to grow and develop.

These three types of organisms work together in the ecosystem to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

Discuss how variations within the population affect survival and fitness using an influenza outbreak as a model to support your

Tcecarenko [31]

During an influenza outbreak, many people get infected and die. However, part of the population acquires immunity and survives. This is due to variations in the genotype and phenotype among individuals in the population. Probably a particular phenotype confers resistance to influenza. Therefore, this population is able to grow and develop to maturity and reproduce. Their genes are therefore passed over to subsequent generations.

What prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium

irina1246 [14]

The Mitral valve which is also known as left atrioventricular prevents blood movement from left ventricle to left atrium.

Explanation:

Human heart is four chambered.
Two of these are receiving chambers known as atria and the other two are distributing chamber known as Ventricles.
Atria are superior chambers and ventricles are inferior chambers.
The heart has four valves broadly grouped as Atrioventricular valves and Semi lunar valves.
Atrioventricular valves allows flow of blood from atria to ventricle. These are tricuspid valve and bicuspid valve.
Semi-lunar valves allow blood to pass out of the heart. These include the pulmonary and aortic valves.
The pulmonary valve allows blood to flow from right ventricle to the heart while aortic valve allows blood to flow from left ventricle to the Aorta.
The Tricuspid valve located between the right atrium and right ventricle allows blood to flow from right atrium to the right ventricle.
The Bicuspid valve ( Mitral valve) located between the left atrium and left ventricle allows the blood flow from left atria to left ventricle.
Valves maintain the unidirectional flow of blood and thus prevent its back flow.
