When a top predator is removed from an ecosystem, a series knock-on effects are felt throughout all the levels in a food web, as each level is regulated by the one above it. This is known as a trophic cascade. The results of these trophic cascades can lead to an ecosystem being completely transformed. The impacts trickle down through each level, upsetting the ecological balance by altering numbers of different animal species, until the effects are finally felt by the vegetation.

If the top predator is taken out of the food web, then the animal that the top predator used to eat, will grow in population. As a result, the next animal will decrease in population and it creates an imbalance that affects the whole ecosystem.

meriva

Answer:

chemical reaction:-

12H20 + 6CO2 + light =====> C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

the above reaction shows that if we combine water,carbon dioxide and sunlight ,the resultant products will be glucose ,water and oxygen .

The plant converts the carbon dioxide into energy and oxygen by different steps that include

  1. absorption of light
  2. conversion of NADP into NADPH+
  3. conversion of ADP into ATP
  4. formation of carbohydrates from CO2  !

Nuetrik [128]
In diagnosing thyroid disease, thyroid function must be established first. This can be done by testing for the TSH, T4 and T3 in the serum. After testing for the thyroid function, ultrasound must be done, this can help us to visualize if the nodules are cystic or solid. Ultrasound can also help establishing the size of the tumor as well as if there is an invasion. FNAB can be done to determine the presence of malignancy, before doing this patient must be in euthyroid state. Hyperthyroid patient can lead into thyroid storm if FNAB was done without knowing the thyroid function of the patient.
