Ecosystems

Yes, they can spray pesticides, which would harm and kill the bugs around. Also, other harmful chemicals. Us hunting animals to nearly extinction. Also eating could disrupt it, but we cannot change that fact because humans cannot stop eating. air pollution into the atmosphere disrupts the ozone layer, causing global warming. Effect could be the ice caps melting, which causes polar bears harder to find fish and stay safe, which in that case, their population could go down

Pollution into the water, could kill fish and other aquatic mammals. Also throwing plastics and other garbage into oceans and other water sources. Oil spills, even though they are obviously accidental, they do disrupt the food chain.

Basically, anything harmful, a substance, catastrophe, or many other things we humans do does disrupt the food chain. Hope this helps.

Some nonliving things in school that help us survive include emergency supplies such as first aid kits, fire extinguishers, and safety equipment like smoke detectors and exit signs. These items are crucial for ensuring the safety and well-being of students and staff in case of emergency situations.

Nonliving things such as technology (like refrigerators, heaters, and air purifiers), clothing, shelter, and transportation help us survive by providing protection from the elements, access to food and clean water, and a means to move around efficiently.

Dead animals and plants decompose relatively quickly in natural environments due to the actions of scavengers, microbes, and other organisms that break down organic matter. These processes help recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem, preventing accumulation of dead bodies. Additionally, many dead animals are quickly consumed by scavengers, reducing the likelihood of finding large carcasses in the wild.

Energy flows through an ecosystem in one direction, which is called the food chain. It's like a pyramid. At the bottom are producers. The producers contain the most energy gotten from the sun. The next are primary consumers. Consumers obtain energy by eating the producers The next layer are the secondary consumers. There may be another layer of consumers if there is enough energy in the system.

Sunlight --> producers (100% of the energy) --> primary consumers (10%)---> secondary consumers (1%)

The decomposers return some nutrients to the system are are active at all levels.

As you move up each level the energy decreases.

For example:

Kcal = Kilocalorie (energy) For example:

Grass, a producer produces 1,000 Kcal

The grass is eaten by mice or rats, the primary consumer and gets 100 Kcal

The mice or rat are eaten by ferrets, the secondary consumer and gets has 10 Kcal.

The ferrets are then eaten by owls, the apex consumer gets 1 Kcal which may not be enough to support the owls.

It can not go any further.

In an ecosystem the energy flow depends on the 10% law.That is when energy is being transferred from producers to consumers and from consumers to herbivores carnivores ,etc. only 10 %energy stored in the previous level is taken and used by the next Trophic Level.

energy flow (E) can be defined as the sum of metabolic production (P) and respiration (R), such that E=P+R.

Below is the energy flow in the ecosystem: sun - Producer - Consumer - Decomposers - Inorganic nutrient pool.

Without pioneer species, primary succession would not occur, and barren land or disturbed ecosystems would struggle to develop and establish new plant communities. Pioneer species play a crucial role in breaking down rock and creating soil, paving the way for more complex plant species to colonize an area. Overall, the absence of pioneer species would significantly slow down the process of ecosystem regeneration and diversity.

It depends on the ecosystem. Ones that are found in the desert are much different than those found in a rain forest. There are many more types found in the rain forest than in a desert as well.

Abiotic and biotic elements in water interact through processes such as nutrient cycling, dissolved oxygen levels, and habitat availability. Biotic factors, like plants and animals, rely on abiotic factors such as temperature, pH, and sunlight to thrive. In turn, biotic elements contribute to nutrient availability and cycling, affecting the overall ecosystem dynamics underwater.

The native vegetation is mostly grasses and oak trees, along with many species of native wildflowers.

There are many other species of trees, but the valley oak is most common.

A pattern of change that occurs on a surface where an ecosystem has previously existed is known as ecological succession. This process involves the gradual replacement of one community by another over time. It typically starts with pioneer species that colonize the area and create conditions for more complex species to establish and persist.

Producers: Are plants, and they produce food for Consumers: which eat plants/other animals (even though they are animals to), then die to make food for Decomposers: like fungi, which makes soil, to start the cycle over again!

A boat or ship typically has a prow, which is the front part of the vessel that cuts through the water. It is often designed to improve the boat's speed and efficiency in the water.

Factors that can affect hearing include age-related changes, exposure to loud noises, genetics, certain medical conditions such as ototoxic medications or ear infections, and physical blockages in the ear canal. It is important to protect hearing by wearing ear protection in loud environments and seeking medical treatment for any issues affecting the ears.

Animals that live under a rock typically do not have developed night vision because they are accustomed to low-light environments and are not reliant on vision for hunting or navigation. Instead, these animals often rely on other senses, such as hearing or touch, to navigate and locate prey in the dark.

Humans adversely affects water cycle. They do deforestation and pollute the environment.

competing with each other for resources. This competition can lead to one species outcompeting the other or both species adapting to use the resource in different ways (resource partitioning).

Gas cycles are used in numerous applications, such as refrigeration systems, air conditioning units, gas turbines in power plants, and internal combustion engines in vehicles. These cycles help convert thermal energy into mechanical work efficiently by following specific processes like compression, heating, expansion, and cooling. Understanding gas cycles is essential for optimizing energy conversion processes in various industrial and commercial systems.

A microhabitat is a relatively small area where a species can live and thrive due to specific environmental conditions, such as temperature, moisture, or food availability. Examples include the underside of a log in a forest or a patch of moss in a rocky area.

Mangrove roots have specialized structures such as pneumatophores and lenticels that help them obtain oxygen in anaerobic mud. Pneumatophores are upright roots that come up from the ground to facilitate gas exchange, while lenticels are small pores on the roots that allow oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to exit. Additionally, some mangrove species have root systems that can filter out salt and absorb nutrients from the surrounding mud.

yes. it gets its energy from digesting food that has been manufactured by other organisms.

An organism that relies on other organisms for its food and energy supply is called a heterotroph. Heterotrophs cannot produce their own food through photosynthesis like autotrophs. Instead, they must consume organic matter to obtain nutrients and energy.

Deers, rabits, and trees.
