How do secondary consumers help the ecosystem? Please help ASAP

Biology

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.

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

<em>The statement which is not true is C) They can affect males or females</em>

Explanation:

All the chromosomes in a person are known to be autosomal chromosomes except for the sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are of two types: Chromosome X and chromosome Y.

Both the sex chromosomes are X in females. Males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosome. The Y chromosomes occur only in males. Hence, Y- linked disorders will affect only males. These disorders will never occur in females.

Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

The answer is a. they are much like empty rooms.

Explanation:

Cells are pretty much the opposite of empty rooms. There are many organelles and processes happening in them, so there's no space for empty rooms. Even when there are spaces, which anyway would be full of liquid, these spaces have a purpose.
