Answer:
First law of thermodynamics is the conservation of energy states that energy is not created and not destroyed but only can be stored.
Thermodynamics second law states that total entropy of a system increases from lower to higher system and some of the energy is always wasted during the work done.
In the food chain plants are the producers which accept light energy and stored in the form of chemical energy and energy flow to the herbivores and higher trophic levels in the chemical form only and no new energy is created in between the chain (Fisrt law of thermodynamics). Heat is generated during respiration by plants and animals (wasted energy) and entropy also increases with the increase in level of the pyramid of energy (Second law of thermodynamics).
Answer:
The small population of zooplankton have an unequal effect on the marine community.
Explanation:
According to this question, there are three trophic levels of organism in a lake as follows: non-native fish, zooplankton, and algae. However, due to the declination in the number of zooplanktons in the lake as they were fed on by the non-native fish, the algal population increased to form a BLOOM.
This bloom of algal species can be attributed to the lack of zooplanktons, which represented the only herbivorous (plant eaters) organism in that community. Hence, their relatively small population have an unequal effect on the marine community. This means that the small population of zooplanktons caused an imbalance in the community and this is why ZOOPLANKTON is the keystone species in this scenario.
It increases the chances of lions surviving a natural catastrophe.
