galben [10]

The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred from one form to another is known as the law of conservation of energy.

<h3>How the sun is the primary source of energy for ecosystems?</h3>

Energy from the highest energy source that is sun is absorbed by plants to convert it into food (i.e a form of energy). plants are the only ones that can convert sunlight into another form of energy directly.

The animals and organisms that feed off of the plants take some part of this energy for their life cycles and then the animals that feed off of these animals again take some part of this energy and carry on with their life cycle, this is how energy from sun (highest source) is transferred to different organisms by Just changing form.

Thus, The scientific law of one organism feeding off other where energy is transferred.

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start

andrew11 [14]

Complete question:

A population of wolves predates a population of moose on Isle Royale, Michigan, where there are fewer wolves than moose to start. The wolves prey on the moose and eat well, allowing them to have abundant offspring. However, as the wolf population rises, the moose population drops, and over time, the wolf population begins to drop also because of the reduced availability of resources. As the wolf population drops, moose are able to better survive and reproduce, causing the moose population to rise. With this abundance of moose, the wolf population is able to rebound until their population exceeds the moose population’s ability to support the number of wolves. Which population dynamic does this series of oscillations represent?

Delayed density dependence
Delayed density independence
Extinction vortex
Carrying capacity

Answer:

Delayed density dependence

Explanation:

The Delayed density dependence occurs when two species are in interaction (prey-predator or parasite-host), and the dynamic of each population follows the dynamic of the other population. The natality and mortality rates of one species follow the rates of the other species.

Delayed density dependence dynamics regulate populations and allow the occurrence of equilibrium or balance in nature.

Predator-prey scenarios

Assuming that the prey lives in the ideal environment with no predators, it shows an exponential growth rate. Prey can grow, develop, and reproduce, increasing its population size. The more available items, the more predator there will be. The predator population increase in size, and its presence affects the prey populations, leading it to decrease. So there are fewer available items to prey on.

The prey population also affects the predator population. After the increase in the predator population size, the number of available prey decreases. The predator lives in an ideal environment but depends on the prey density. The more predators there are, the fewer prey there will be left. The predator population decreases exponentially due to the item's lack. The predation rate depends on density as well as natality and mortality rates.

So, to sum up,

prey population increases in size
predator population increases in size
prey population decreases in size
predator population decreases in size

In this particular example, the wolves population follows the moose population and vice-versa. It is not simultaneous. It happens with a delay.

Moose influences the wolf population because they are their source of food. The more moose, the more wolves there are. The fewer moose, the fewer wolves there are.

This is a density-dependent dynamic because both populations are affected when they reach a high value.

How are currents in the Pacific Ocean affected by El Niño?

mylen [45]

The answer is; Warm water moves to the east instead of to the west

Normally, when the waters in the Pacific warm up, the prevailing winds that blow from east to west drag the warm surface currents westwards and upwelling of cold currents occur at the west coast of South America. However, in El Nino, the Pacific ocean waters heat more than usual. The prevailing winds weaken and begin to blow predominantly towards the east. The warm currents are therefore dragged to the east and cause torrential rains in Western coast South Americas.
