What will most likely happen if farming stops and water flows on this land again? A. Populations of native wetland plants will recolonize the land. B. Populations of native wetland animals will emigrate from the land. C. The community of organisms currently living there will remain the same. D.

Answer:

A. Populations of native wetlands plants will recolonize the land.

Explanation:

From many years' wetlands are converted into farmlands as they provide retention of soil, proper food and clean water, and the cycling of nutrients. But wetlands should not be permanently converted<em> because it can increase the load on soil and add pollutants (pesticides or fertilizers) in the soil and  groundwater.</em>

If the farming stops and water flows on the land again, the native plants present in wetlands will help to recolonize the land which is disrupted by farming activities.

Hence, the correct option is A.

Producers make up more biomass than primary consumers because _____.
Katyanochek1 [597]

The correct answer is option a. only 10 percent of the energy at each trophic level is passed on to the next level.

The producers obtain their energy from the sunlight and convert it into usable form of energy for consumers. The primary consumers eat the plants, and obtain energy from the plants. On each trophic level, only 10 % energy is transferred to the succeeding one.

As only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level, the primary producers need to eat more plants in order to meet their energy requirement. This insufficiency of the energy transfer from one trophic level to another causes the decrease in the biomass on next level.

In a hypothetical situation, a bacterium lives on the surface of a leaf, where it obtains nutrition from the leaf's nonliving, w
Rashid [163]

Answer:

The correct ecological sequence regarding this case, to answer your question: What is the correct sequence of ecological roles played by the bacterium in the situation decribed here, would be: 1. mutualism, 2. Parasitism and finally 3. Nutrient recycler.

Explanation:

Ecological balance comes when species interact, and help each other out, by carrying out tasks that the other species cannot perform. When this happens, both species benefit from the presence of the other, and thus are kept in balance. However, conditions may change that will affect this balance.

In this case, we have a bacteria and a plant that are ecologically balanced with each other: the plant provides nutrients to the bacteria, and the bacteria helps the plant by maintaining other microorganisms away. However, when the conditions of the plant change, giving the bacteria access to its insides, which are more nutrient-rich, than the outside, these bacteria do not waste time and infect the plant, until it kills, and then decomposes, the plant. Given the sequence, the first part is known as mutualism: to species sharing benefits. Parsitism, because the bacteria infected the plant and lived now off it, destroying it. And finally, nutrient recycler because the bacteria breaks down the plant, decomposes it, returning to the ecosystem nutrients that were inside the plant.
