Answer:

D

Explanation:

A food web explains why there are more producers than consumers. It is because more energy is available to producers.

The food web is a structural representation of the feeding relationship that exists among the living organisms in a particular environment.

A typical food web groups living organisms as producers, consumers, or decomposers. Producers are those that fix sunlight energy into chemical energy, a process known as photosynthesis while consumers are those that either feed on producers or other living organisms in the environment. The decomposers return both producers and consumers back to the earth and help nutrients circulate in the environment.

<em>In a typical food web, producers are usually more than consumers because more energy is usually available at this level. Less and less energy becomes available as we move up the ladder in each food chain that makes up the food web.</em>

The correct option is D.

Explanation:

The community may enter primary succession.

Ecological communities are highly dynamic- they gradually evolve. Typically their progression involves:

  • colonizing species exploiting uninhabited areas (Primary succession)
  • becoming a habitable and increasingly complex community
  • there is increased diversity of organisms (Secondary)

The makeup of biological communities is crucial to defining Primary and Secondary succession; eventually, through changes in this makeup, a steady-state or equilibrium is reached called a climax community. While Primary succession starts off with the modification of a previously unoccupied area along with increasing variation; secondary succession begins after major disruption in the community such as fires, storms and flooding.

Like the harvested climax forest, secondary communities do not begin with the removal of soil and all biological life; other species, may be more suited to the altered conditions and begin to modify the area creating a new community.

However, the process of becoming a climax community can be pretty complicated- it is very dependent on other factors like temperature and rainfall. Communities that experience rapid change, frequent major disruptions and even human intervention, are less likely to attain a stable equilibrium and may never become climax communities.
