<u>Answer</u>:

1.a) Species. It is the lowest taxon and represents the scientific name of the organism.

b) The species name is part of the binomial system of nomenclature developed by Linnaeus.

Thus it is composed of two parts each with its own writing rules (ex. gray wolf - <em>Canis lupus</em>):

A. the genus or generic name

- written first

- always underlined or italicized

- the first letter is always capitalized

ex. <em>Canis</em>

B. the specific epithet or species name

- is written second

- always underlined or italicized

- never capitalized

ex. <em>lupus</em>

<em />

2. The results should always be the same. A dichotomous key is an identification tool based on a series of choices between alternative characters (dichotomous = divided into two parts). Thus, there is no room for subjective observation that may lead to another result. If the morphological traits of the organism are correctly identified, the the result should always be the same. Any differences occur due to errors on the scientist's part.

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Energy pyramids is representation of food chain where producers lie at the base of pyramid followed by primary, secondary and tertiary consumer. A tertiary consumer lies at the top of the energy pyramid .

Explanation:

An ecological pyramid is a chronological arrangement of organism in which the organism producing the food lies at the base of pyramid and remaining all organism lie above it.

Each level of an ecological pyramid is called a trophic level and an organism lying at any trophic level feed upon organism lying in trophic level prior to it.

Energy transferred to an organism lying at certain trophic level is 10% of the energy contained in an organism lying at its lower trophic level. remaining 90% of the energy is used by an organism for its internal metabolic process.
