Answer and Explanation:

Example of a food-web:

(1) Algae --> (2) Protozoas --> (3) Krill --> (4) Cephallopods --> (5) Medium sized dolphin --> (6) Large Dolphin

The trophic web is the process of energy transference through a series of organisms, in which every organism feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one.

1) The first link is an autotroph organism or producer, such as a vegetable, that can synthesize organic matter from inorganic matter. In this example, the autotroph organisms are algae, that make use of sunlight and inorganic matter.

The next links are the consumers:

2) Herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. In this example, herbivore organisms are protozoan.

3) Krills are the secondary consumers and feed on protozoans.

4) Some species of cephalopods feed on krill, among other species.

5) Specialized Cetaceans such as the Risso´s dolphin, feed especially on cephalopods, as they lack upper teeth and they only have a few teeth in their jaws.

6) The killer whale is a big sized-dolphin and a very important predator. It feeds on many animals, and one of them is the Risso´s dolphin.

Explain the role of bacteria in the nitrogen cycle

Oksanka [162]

Bacteria is important because this bacteria binds hydrogen molecules with the gaseous nitrogen to form ammonia in the soil. During assimilation, or when plants take up nitrates from the soil, bacteria aid in the process with the plants in making ammonia. Animal wastes is also a major place where bacteria thrives and produces ammonia. The process in which assimilation occurs in plants, and then bacteria converts the nitrates to ammonia is called ammonification. From the conversion of ammonia to nitrites, bacteria also aids in this process called nitrification. The nitrifying bacteria mostly present in soils, oxidize ammonia into nitrites, and from nitrites to nitrates.

Finally, the process of denitrification also has bacteria present to aid in converting nitrates back into a gaseous form of nitrogen in the atmosphere.

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has (p2)<br><br>need some help :)

Natali5045456 [20]

<h2><u>EARTH'S MAGNETIC FIELD</u></h2>

The magnets point North when the Earth's magnetic field has?

<h2><u>ANSWER</u></h2>

I think the best answer for this question is Magnetic Reversal or Geomagnetic Reversal.

In geomagnetism, the term "geomagnetic reversal" also known as 'flip', is the process by which the North pole becomes South pole and the South pole transforms into North pole.

<h2><u>THE MAGNETIC REVERSAL</u></h2>

The reversals happen on rare occasions when iron molecules start moving towards the opposite direction as other iron molecules around them within the Earth's spinning outer core.
