Energy in most ecosystems must flow through autotrophs because only autotrophs can convert solar energy in chemical energy.

Explanation:

This suggests that these are organisms which are entirely based on the Greek name self-producers that can produce complex organic materials by fixing together simple building blocks in their local situation. E.g plants on land. Photosynthesis in plants transforms solar energy into chemical energy using electrons and protons from water. The method of photosynthesis in plants involves a series of steps and reactions that use solar energy, water, and carbon dioxide to produce organic aggregates and oxygen.

What moves through the community from one trophic level to another as organisms feed on one another?

TEA [102]

Energy moves from one trophic level to another as organisms feed on one another.

Explanation:

Energy flows from one trophic level to another in a food chain. according to the ten percent law, only ten percent of the total energy passes onto the next trophic level. While studying the energy flow model two aspects should be taken under consideration. Firstly, the flow of energy is unidirectional and passes on from autotrophs to primary consumer and then secontary, tertiary so on. Secondly the amount of energy decreases at succesive trophic level.

Why don't epidermal ridges form in thin skin?

xxTIMURxx [149]

Thin Skin. The epidermis differs from that of thick skin in having thinner stratum spinosum, granulosum, and corneum, and lacks the stratum lucidum (Thin Skin 1). The dermis is not arranged in ridges, but does project into the epidermis as true papillae. However, no epidermal ridges are produced

How does the brain control the endocrine system?

Makovka662 [10]

As the head organ in the body which controls, monitors, supervises and influences the different organ system in the body and of the individual -characteristics, personality, traits, cognition, perception, intelligence, sensation and motor responses. The brain controls the endocrine system by its part, located somwhere in the medial temporal lobe called the hypothalamus, the master gland of the body. The hypothalamus influences every gland secretion and hormonal function that preceeds and proceeds in the body of an organism -growth, drives, sex, survival and etc.

The hypothalamus sends sgnals from the different gland organs in the body that either exhibits or inhibits the activity of that particular gland releasing hormone.
