Herbivore  

A herbivore is an animal anatomically and physiologically adapted to eating plant material, for example foliage, for the main component of its diet. As a result of their plant diet, herbivorous animals typically have mouthparts adapted to rasping or grinding.

A carnivore,

meaning "meat eater", is an organism that derives its energy and nutrient requirements from a diet consisting mainly or exclusively of animal tissue, whether through predation or scavenging.

Omnivore is a consumption classification for animals that have the capability to obtain chemical energy and nutrients from materials originating from plant and animal origin. Often, omnivores also have the ability to incorporate food sources such as algae, fungi, and bacteria into their diet as well.

scavenger  

An animal that feeds on carrion, dead plant material, or refuse. Scavenging is both a carnivorous and a herbivorous feeding behavior in which the scavenger feeds on dead animal and plant material present in its habitat. Scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by consuming the dead animal and plant material.

Decomposer

Decomposers are organisms that break down dead or decaying organisms, and in doing so, they carry out the natural process of decomposition. Like herbivores and predators, decomposers are heterotrophic, meaning that they use organic substrates to get their energy, carbon and nutrients for growth and development.

, energy flow  

In ecology, energy flow, also called the calorific flow, refers to the flow of energy through a food chain, and is the focus of study in ecological energetics. In an ecosystem, ecologists seek to quantify the relative importance of different component species and feeding relationships.

food web  

A food chain starts at trophic level 1 with primary producers such as plants, can move to herbivores at level 2, carnivores at level 3 or higher, and typically finish with apex predators at level 4 or 5. The path along the chain can form either a one-way flow or a “food web".

Energy pyramid

the energy is transferred when an organism eats another organism. This flow of metabolic energy can be illustrated and explained with the help of an energy pyramid. Today, in this article, we’re discussing energy pyramid, its definition, some examples, and much more.

leva [86]

Answer:

The alpha helices in the beta subunit are a ring shaped protein.

Explanation:

<em>Because the beta encircles DNA like a ring used gel filtration and radioactive beta subunit. Tipically beta and gamma complex are needed for fast and processive synthesis by polymerase III core. Some researchers  realized that adding polymerase III  core to the gel filtered isolated ³H-beta- DNA provide fast DNA synthesis typical of the polymerase III holoenzyme. Therefore the gamma complex is only needed to get the beta subunit onto the DNA, and is not required afterward.</em>
