Describe each organism in the food chain using ecological terms such as producer and consumer?​

Biology

Answer:

Explanation:

The organisms that eat the primary producers are called primary consumers. Primary consumers are usually herbivores (plant-eaters), though they may be algae or bacteria eaters. The organisms that eat the primary consumers are called secondary consumers. Secondary consumers are generally meat-eaters (carnivores).

Which kingdom would include organisms that are all heterotrophic and motile?
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Animalia, essentially

Explanation:

First, let's define our terms -

<u>Heterotrophic</u>: consumes other organisms to survive, as opposed to <em>autotrophic</em>

<u>Motile</u>: can move around, as opposed to <em>sessile</em>

There is debate on what constitutes a kingdom, but I generally go with the 6 kingdoms model, which includes animalia, plantae, fungi, protista, eubacteria, and archaebacteria.

Fungi, though heterotrophic, include mushrooms, which are obviously stationary (sessile). So we can rule them out.

Plantae are your traditional plants, which clearly fit neither of the categories, being sessile and phototrophic (they get energy from light, not other organisms.)

Archaebacteria are mostly autotrophs. I doubt they would be considered anyway.

Eubacteria, your traditional bacteria, include cyanobacteria, which are photosynthetic, and other exceptions. I don't think this is what the question is going for.

Protista are essentially the spare parts drawer of the kingdom system. They vary widely in being hetero- or autotrophic, so they certainly don't fit the criteria.

I can only conclude that this question is asking for animalia, which <em>for the most part </em>are heterotrophic and motile. (An exception is the most primitive, sponges or porifera, which are sessile and can't move around, but I expect this is what the question is looking for.) Because heterotrophy and motility are two defining features of animalia, most likely this is what the question is asking. This is a difficult question, because biologists themselves aren't real decided on the right answer.

Without knowing the answers, I am thinking it would be either a change in habitat, like climate change or the grass and therefore the herbivores are dying so the lion can't eat. I'm not positive, but it seems most likely.b   <span />
