How do secondary consumers help the ecosystem? Please help ASAP

Biology
1 answer:
miv72 [106K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

First off, we need to establish what secondary consumers are. Primary consumers are all herbivores; they eat the producers. The secondary consumers are on the next trophic level up; they eat the primary consumers. They thus help to control the level/number of primary consumers; otherwise, the number of primary consumers would grow too high, and the producers would all be WIPED OUT.

Now, you may be wondering what controls the amount of secondary consumers? The answer is tertiary consumers. What controls the tertiary consumers? At this point, energy does the job of limiting the population. As you move up trophic levels in an ecosystem, the amount of energy in each trophic level goes down by 90%. So like if you started w/ 1000000 joules of energy in the producer level, that would be 100000 in the primary, 10000 in the secondary, and only 1000 in the tertiary.

A bacterial cell that contains an outer membrane and periplasmic space stains pink to red on Gram stain. Which one of the follow
anastassius [24]

Answer:

a. No discrepancy is present; organisms that contain an outer membrane and periplasmic space should stain pink because of their cell wall composition.

Explanation:

Gram stain is the staining method used to differentiate bacterial species into two groups, gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Factors that will differentiate gram-positive from gram-negative include the coloration of bacteria, the composition and chemical and physical properties of cell walls. In these tests, bacteria that have an outer membrane and a periplasmic space are considered gram negative and pink in color (sometimes similar to red) due to their cellular composition. For this reason we can state that there is no discrepancy present in the bacteria exposed in the question; Because this bacterium has an outer membrane and a periplasmic space, then it is normal for the bacteria to turn pink due to its cell wall composition.
