An herbivore (plant eating) eats plants.

An omnivore (all-eating) eats both plants and other animals.

Is a flatworm a herbivore or carnivore?

What three scientific approaches do ecologists use to explain complex relationships such as in the energy pyramid?

Ecologists use mathematical modeling to quantify energy flow in an ecosystem, field observations to understand real-world interactions, and experimental manipulations to test hypotheses about energy transfer within the pyramid. These approaches help ecologists explain intricate relationships and dynamics in ecological systems.


A set of facts and relationships between facts that can explain and predict related phenomena what is called?

A set of facts and relationships that can explain and predict related phenomena is called a theory. Theories are developed through systematic observation, experimentation, and analysis, allowing for a deeper understanding of complex systems. They play a crucial role in scientific inquiry by providing a framework for interpreting data and guiding future research.


Is this statement true or false All predators are secondary consumers while all prey are primary consumers Explain?

True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.


What do the evolutionary connections among all organisms help explain?

Evolutionary connections among all organisms help explain how species have adapted and diversified over time to survive in different environments. It also helps us understand the shared ancestry and common descent of all living organisms. Additionally, studying evolutionary relationships can provide insights into the development of traits and behaviors that have evolved in response to changing environmental conditions.

Is scientific laws to explain why something happen?

Scientific laws describe regular patterns or relationships in nature, but they do not explain why these patterns occur. Laws are empirical generalizations based on repeated observations and experiments. Theories are what provide the explanatory framework for why these patterns or relationships exist.


How do you explain relationship?

This is a wonderful question!! But no worries, relationships are simply a powerful bond between two objects/people/animals. Relationships don't always have to be associated with people. relationships could be mathematical and scientific too. but either way, relationships will always be difficult to understand!
