Answer:

ecological dominants

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, organisms of same and different species are usually found. However, some organisms appear too commonly than others in that particular ecosystem. These commonly observed organisms (plants and animals) due to their large numbers are called DOMINANT species. An ecological dominant species is that which numerically outshines its competitors in an ecosystem.

A species may be dominant because it is better adapted to certain processes than Its competitors e.g. getting resources, disease resistance etc. or even deters its competitors. Hence, they appear large in number. This is the case of the abundance of pinyon pine and juniper trees along the desert slope of the sierra nevada mountains in california. In that ecosystem, these two plants dominate, hence, will be referred to as ecological dominants.

Answer:

Trophic level

Consumer

Producer

Explanation:

All living organisms require energy for their life processes, which they obtain by taken in food. In an ecosystem, this food is derived when organisms feed on each other. This process that eventually leads to a flow of energy within organisms is called FOOD CHAIN.

A food chain or food web always begins with a unique set of organisms called PRODUCERS. Producers are autotrophs capable of harvesting light energy from the sun and use it to produce their food (chemical) in a process called PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Other organisms called HETEROTROPHS feed on these producers to derive energy. In ecology, they are called CONSUMERS. Other consumers feed on the previous ones also to get energy.

Hence, each step of the food chain is occupied by organisms that obtain and store energy by feeding on another organism. This step is called TROPHIC LEVEL.

In a nutshell, a PRODUCER (usually plants) starts the food chain/web due to its photosynthetic ability. This producer gets eaten by an organism called CONSUMER and in the process, the energy and nutrient stored in the producers flows to the consumer. Another consumers feeds on the previous one and the energy keeps flowing. Each step of the food chain occupied by an organism that stores and transfers this energy is called TROPHIC LEVEL.
