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.

adelina 88 [10]

Hypertonic environment

<h3>How do salts and sugars preserve food?</h3>

Salts and sugars work to preserve foods by creating a hypertonic environment. Salt and sugar will remove the water from the bacteria or fungi and they will not be able to proliferate. Loss of water results in plasmolysis, or cytoplasmic shrinkage.

<h3>What is hypertonic solution and plasmolysis?</h3>

Compared to another solution, a hypertonic solution has a higher solute concentration.

Plant cells subjected to hyperosmotic stress frequently exhibit plasmolysis as a reaction. The live protoplast violently separates from the cell wall as a result of the loss of turgor. The vacuole is primarily responsible for the plasmolytic process.

A. Antarctic blue whale

B. Herbivores

C. Inland Taipan

D. “The scientific name Asteroidea was given to starfish by the French zoologist de Blainville in 1830. It is derived from the Greek aster, ἀστήρ (a star) and the Greek eidos, εἶδος (form, likeness, appearance). The class Asteroidea belongs to the phylum Echinodermata.”

E. “First, primates have larger eyes than many other mammals of comparable body size (Ross & Kirk, 2007). Having large eyes ensures that a large image is formed on the retina (Walls, 1942; Land & Nilsson, 2002). This large retinal image may then be sampled by many photoreceptors, improving visual resolution. Primates have flexible shoulder joints and and strong clavicles or collar bones that help them use their arms more effectively than other species of animals. Most primate can hold their bodies erect and some species, including humans, can walk on two legs instead of four.”

Zepler [3.9K]

Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.
