How is an ecosystem maintained?
An Ecosystem is maintained by the balance if nature such as the balances between hawks and mice. If one if larger or smaller than the other one, then its not balanced. Like if there are too much hawks and they eat all the mice out, the hawks have nothing to eat and die out. Or they are balanced between resources, like a banana tree and monkeys. If the banana trees stop growing the monkeys have nothing to eat.
Why is it important that numbers of animals and plants in an ecosystem remain stable make up an example to show your point?
It is important that the population size of animals and plants to remain stable so the food chain runs fluidly. If you had a major increase or decrease of a species then that would cause drastic change to the environment. For example: given the food chain of grass, a grasshopper, a frog, a snake and a hawk if the grass population went under then the grasshopper, frog, snake and hawks population would drop because the grasshopper would eat the grass and without grass than the population would decrease along with the other. But if the frog population decreased then the grasshopper population would increase from the lack of frogs but the grass would decrease from the overpopulating grasshoppers while the snakes would decrease with the hawks. After a while though, despite the drastic over- or underpopulation, the environment would find a way to get itself stable once more.
What is the correct energy flow hawk corn mouse bacteria?
Corn--->mouse--->hawk. However, the bacteria would be interested in decomposing dead corn, dead mice and dead hawk. So there would be an arrow (----->) back to the soil that the corn will grow in.
What is true about secondary consumers in an ecosystem?
A secondary consumer is a predator that eats the primary consumer in an ecosystem. Flow of energy in an ecosystem= primary producer>primary consumer>secondary consumer>teriary consumer
Do hawks fish for their food in the wild?
Yes, hawks do fish for their food in the wild.
Explain why animals food and energy can be traced back to plants and the sun?
Plants need the energy from the sun to grow. The small animals, such as rabbits, eat these plants to grow. Meat eaters such as hawks, prey on these rabitts, therefore connects hawks to the sun. Because the hawks eat the rabbits, who eat plants, who use the sun... the hawks are inderrectly dependent on the sun's enegy. Even humans are in need of the sun, as vegetariands eat plants, and omnivors eat cows, who eat plants. Therfore, every living being on this plant is dependent on the suns energy in one way or another.
What is in ecosystem of a hawk?
Hawks belong at the top of the food chain in their ecosystem. Although there are many types of hawks, they each require a tree for nesting.
How does a hawk depend on producers for its survival?
A hawk depends on producers, such as plants and trees, primarily for food and habitat. Producers form the base of the food chain by converting sunlight into energy through photosynthesis, which supports herbivores that are prey for hawks. Additionally, hawks may use trees and other vegetation for nesting and perching to hunt for their prey. Thus, the health of producer populations is crucial for the survival of hawks and other predators in the ecosystem.
Do hawks eat plants?
No
How do marsh hawks get energy?
they get their energy from fish
How does the hawk population effect on the ecosystem?
The more hawks there are the less small animals there are, i.e. fish and mice, because hawks eat them.
What is a consumer in a pond ecosystem?
A consumer in a pond ecosystem is an organism that feeds on other organisms to obtain energy. This can include herbivores that consume plants, carnivores that eat other animals, and omnivores that consume both plants and animals. Consumers play a vital role in transferring energy through the food chain in a pond ecosystem.
Does a hawk eat an apple?
No, hawks do not eat fruit. A hawks diet consists of small animals. Some of the small animals are fish, mice, snakes, and birds.
Do a hawks eat plants and animals?
Hawks are predators. They eat smaller birds, small mammals, lizards, fish, etc. They do not eat plants.
Do hawks get its energy from the sun?
Yes they do
What are at least four different populations of organisms that live in your ecosystem?
Some populations in my ecosystem include plants such as trees, shrubs, and grasses that provide food and habitat for other organisms. Insects like bees, butterflies, and beetles play a critical role in pollination and decomposition. Small mammals such as mice, squirrels, and rabbits are important for dispersing seeds and controlling insect populations. Lastly, birds like sparrows, robins, and hawks contribute to seed dispersal, pest control, and overall ecosystem balance.
What is an example of a prairie food chain?
Every organism needs to obtain energy in order to live. For example, plants get energy from the sun, some animals eat plants, and some animals eat other animals. A food chain is the sequence of who eats whom in a biological community (an ecosystem) to obtain nutrition. A food chain starts with the primary energy source, usually the sun or boiling-hot deep sea vents.
