Answer:
Autotrophs are organisms that use light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make their own food.
1st order heterotrophs are organisms that eat only plants
2nd order heterotrophs are organisms that eat herbivores
3rd order heterotrophs: organisms that eat herbivores and other carnivores
Top group: carnivores
Explanation:
Producers are named as such because they produce their own food either by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms are called autotrophs and include plants.
There are various levels of consumers. The first is first order heterotrophs, which feed on the producers. These are herbivores and include, for example, a deer feeding on grass.
The next is second order heterotrophs, which feed on the first order heterotrophs. E.g. an owl eating a mouse. These are carnivores
The next layer are also carnivores, third order heterotrophs which eat second order heterotrophs, for example a lion eating a zebra.
Answer:
The phases of the Moon depend on its position in relation to the Sun and Earth. As the Moon makes its way around the Earth, we see the bright parts of the Moon's surface at different angles.
Explanation:
Answer:
Nitrogen is converted from atmospheric nitrogen (N2) into usable forms, such as NO2-, in a process known as fixation. ... This occurs in two steps: first, bacteria convert ammonia in to (nitrites) NO2-, and then other bacteria species convert it to NO3- (nitrate). Nitriates are a form of nitrogen that is usable by plants.

Answer: DESERT
Explanation:
Adaptation can be defined as the modification in the form, structure, function and behaviour of organisms in a habitat which enables them to live successfully and reproduce.
Desert is one of the types of the world biomes that is characterized with little or no rain and to extreme temperatures. Organisms, which includes plants and animals, must show some level of adaptation to able to survive the harsh environment.
The type of PLANTS which can survive in desert environment are called the XEROPHYTES. They show the following adaptations:
--> The roots are well developed: they grow down to great depths and branch extensively in order to absorb water
--> they possess swollen stems which contains water storage cells.
--> they have reduced leaves, for example in cacti in the form of spines, which helps to reduce water loss through transpiration.
The type of animal that survive in desert environment spend the hot dry seasons in a sleep-like torpid state called aestivation. This is so in order to avoid the heat. Their body size is usually small and less bulky: greater surface area in relation to body volume, thus enhancing heat loss from the body.
Organisms that live in the _________ must be adapted to little or no rain and to extreme temperatures.
