Asked by Wiki User
biogeochemical
Is a mongoose a consumer decomposer or a producer?
Asked by Wiki User
A Mongoose is a secondary consumer. It is a carnivore
How oxygen although it does not have an independent cycle moves through the biosphere as part of the carbon?
Asked by Wiki User
Although oxygen does not have an independent cycle, it moves through the biosphere as part of the carbon cycle. Develop a model to illustrate how oxygen fits into the carbon cycle. Include the various forms that oxygen takes in your model.
Which tropic level in a community has the most energy available?
Asked by Wiki User
The trophic level of producers (photosynthetic organisms) has the most available energy in a biologic community. As a general (but not absolute) rule, every trophic level above this has 10% as much available energy as the level below it; primary consumers have 10% as much as producers, secondary consumers 1%, tertiary consumers .1%.
Why are certain adaptations in one ecosystem but not in another?
Asked by Wiki User
An adaptation must fit the environment -Apex
What is the ecological niches?
Asked by Wiki User
Well, it's niche is what it needs to live so it would be like food, shelter, and other things in its enviroment.
What is defined as a terrestrial ecosystems characterized by a particular climate and organisms found there?

What is a system in which non living and living things in a certain area interact?
Asked by Wiki User
i dont know
What is the importance of non living thing?
Asked by Wiki User
The ecosystem constitutes both the biotic and abiotic components to make life possible.The abiotic (non living )components are air,water,elements,rocks,soil,minerals that help in the life functions and process.
What is the relationship between the oxygen cycle and the carbon cycle?
Asked by Wiki User
The carbon and oxygen cycle are related by complementary relationship. For example whenever animals and humans breath they breath in oxygen and breath out carbon. Another example is plant and trees tack in carbon for nutrients and releases oxygen.
What would most likely increase carrying capacity for humans in a certain region?
Asked by Wiki User
better soil for growing
Why are there relatively few third level consumers like bears in an ecosystems?
Asked by Wiki User
Because people hurt third level consumers
What is a relationship between two organisms in which one organism benefits in the other is unaffected?
Asked by Wiki User
commensalism
What happens when population reaches it's carrying capacity?
Asked by Wiki User
Ideally a population at its carrying capacity is stable, there is enough for all to survive. The system is usually slightly underdamped and the population will vary between just over its carrying capacity where some individuals suffer and under its capacity where there is a surplus. If the system is severely under damped there are extreme swings in the population. A typical example is the relation between Arctic hares and foxes.
What is a group of one species living in a area called?
Asked by Wiki User
All animals around the world can sometimes be a threat to others. But what iif a group of species were close together? Well this is called a morphospecies.
When distinctly different, or diverse, species live together in one area, whether that area is a small suburb, a forest, a pond or an ocean, or the entire planet, it is called biodiversity, or a group of biodiverse species.
This grouping was more commonly called species richness, or species diversity, but our horizons have expanded as we've learned more about the way life exists and co-exists, operates and co-operates, within areas ranging from immense to tiny, and we now see this very necessary diversity as far more wide-ranging than once was envisaged.
For more information on biodiversity, have a look at the link, below.
Do biotic and abiotic affect each other?
Asked by Wiki User
The abiotic and biotic factors can work together to reduce or extend the life of an individual. They can also work together to influence a particular population so that certain behavioral patterns are affected.
How do the terms organic and inorganic relate to the biotic and abiotic component of an ecosystem?
Asked by Wiki User
Organic and inorganic refer to types of chemical compounds. Organic compunds are the carbon based compunds like methane, sugar and proteins. Abiotic and biotic are terms referring to aspects of the environment. Abiotic factors are the nonliving factors like temperature, soil type and light intensity. Biotic factors are the living things in an ecosytem like the animals and plants.q
