Answer:
this one`s been up for debate for awhile now.
1. it depends on the organism
learning about an organism could be considered 'easier' to study in different ways. for example, if you are studying marine life, you will most likely have to keep it in a water habitat to watch it alive. If you are studying a land species, then watching from it`s natural habitat will give you more accurate results. sometimes the environment can affect an organisms internal systems more than you may think. this leads into my second point.
2. it depends on what you are trying to study
if you are trying to learn about the mating process, seasonal activity, migration, or external behavior, then monitoring it from it`s natural habitat or an area that is a close copy is your best option. but if you are looking into studying internal organs/systems or cells, then in <em>most</em> cases, the organism will need to be taken out of its natural habitat. only in very careful situations is it left in a habitat during examination.
gene flow or migration between two populations will help maintain similarities between the species, therefore preventing (or slowing down) the process of speciation. and when the environment changes rapidly, this can cause an overall decrease in population size because of a failure to adapt adequately to environmental changes. i hope this helped <3
Autotroph is to producer as Hetrotroph is to consumer
Autotrophs make their own food, which makes them producers
While Hetrotrophs cannot make their own food, and must obtain it from another source, making them consumers
