_______________ reactions transfer energy to the surroundings, usually as heat.
C. Exothermic
Answer:
- Oak trees: primary producers
- Caterpillars: primary consumers
- Blue Jays: secondary consumers
- Hawks: tertiary consumers
Explanation:
A trophic pyramid, also known as ecological pyramid or energy pyramid, is a graphic representation that shows the relationships between different types of organisms (i.e., producers and consumers) at the trophic levels of an ecosystem. The primary producers are autotrophic organisms that obtain energy from sunlight and chemical compounds from nonliving sources (e.g., photosynthetic plants, algae, etc). The primary consumers are organisms that eat primary producers (e.g., herbivores), while secondary consumers are organisms that eat primary consumers (e.g., omnivores). Moreover, tertiary consumers are predators and/or omnivores that eat secondary consumers (e.g., hawks). Finally, decomposers (e.g., bacteria) are organisms that obtain nutrients and energy by breaking down dead organic material (i.e., dead organisms) at all trophic levels into nutrients.
Fermentation occurs in anaerobic respiration, and produces less energy than in aerobic respiration due to the lack of ETC because oxygen is not present.
Punnet squares are a useful tool for predicting what the offspring will look like when mating plants or animals. Reginald Crundall Punnett, a mathematician, came up with these in 1905, long after Mendel's experiments. Let's take a look at how Punnet squares work using the yellow and green peas example from im not sure about the tree by three thing but maybe this will help :)
