What Consumers have in common is that, they are all living things that live off of hunting and eating to gain energy and survive (without eating/hunting they die).
examples : Cows , Pigs , Horses
Adaptation is a phenomenon that is about adjusting certain features to environmental conditions. Ie. birds are adapted to flight as they possess wings, very efficient lungs etc. or tropical plants are adapted to high temperature and humidity as they modified their photosynthesis process. but if some creature is adapted to the specific habitat or conditions, it is hard for it to manage in another habitat/different conditions. ie. birds are fast in the air but on the ground they are quite weak and prone to predators' attacks.
Answer:
Unlike matter, as energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction, from photosynthetic organisms to herbivores to omnivores and carnivores and decomposers, less and less energy becomes available to support life.
Explanation:
Primary producers use energy from the sun to produce their own food in the form of glucose, and then primary producers are eaten by primary consumers who are in turn eaten by secondary consumers, and so on, so that energy flows from one trophic level, or level of the food chain, to the next.
Energy is acquired by living things in three ways: photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and the consumption and digestion of other living or previously-living organisms by heterotrophs.
Living organisms would not be able to assemble macromolecules (proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and complex carbohydrates) from their monomeric subunits without a constant energy input.
