Ecosystems

A diagram that shows an ecosystem's loss of energy at each level of the food chain is called an energy pyramid. It depicts the decrease in available energy as it moves up trophic levels due to the inefficiency of energy transfer between organisms. Typically, only about 10% of energy is passed on to the next trophic level, with the rest being lost as heat through metabolic processes.

The success of an organism in surviving and reproducing is a measure of its fitness. Fitness relates to an organism's ability to pass on its genes to the next generation through successful reproduction and survival in its environment. Organisms with high fitness are better adapted to their environment and are more likely to survive and reproduce.

A strawberry is a living thing because it is a fruit that grows from a plant that is alive. The strawberry plant goes through processes such as growth, reproduction, and responding to its environment, which are characteristics of living organisms.

Just switch population with ecosystem to get them most to least complex.

A stable ecosystem has balanced population dynamics and nutrient cycles, with species interacting in predictable ways, while an unstable ecosystem is characterized by fluctuations in population sizes and disruptions to important processes like nutrient cycling. Stable ecosystems are resilient to disturbances and can recover from minor changes, whereas unstable ecosystems are more vulnerable and may experience drastic shifts in structure and function.

The abiotic factors of the rainforest ecosystem are the amount of water and sunlight, climate, weather and precipitation. these things affect the trees and animals that live there. These are very important because without the right amount of water and sunlight the trees in the rainforest would not be able to grow and would die.

it all boils down to just water and sunlight

Japanese beetles serve as both prey and predators in the food chain. They are typically preyed upon by birds, reptiles, and small mammals. At the same time, they can also feed on plants and crops, which affects the overall balance of the ecosystem.

Chemical nutrients can move through an ecosystem through plants. The plants can extract chemical nutrients from the ground and when animals eat green plants, they transfer from plants to animals.

Yeast is a common decomposer used in pizza dough to help it rise and ferment. Additionally, certain fungi, such as molds, can naturally occur on pizza toppings such as cheese if not stored properly.

Examples of ecosystems include a tropical rainforest, a coral reef, and a grassland.

The first species in secondary succession are pioneer species, such as lichens or mosses. These hardy plants can grow on bare rock or soil, helping to break it down and create conditions suitable for other plant species to establish. Over time, these pioneer species are replaced by more complex plant communities as the ecosystem matures.

When the sun's rays are blocked by thick forest clouds there is cooling effect that is experienced on the surface of the earth. However, this may severely affect plants as photosynthesis depends of direct sunlight.

Decomposers break down dead organic matter, such as fallen leaves and animal remains, into simpler compounds. This process releases nutrients back into the ecosystem, making them available for plants and other organisms. Without decomposers, nutrients would be locked up in dead matter and unavailable for recycling, leading to nutrient depletion in the ecosystem.

Whether or not an egg is living or non-living depends on whether or not the egg is fertilized. If the egg is NOT fertilized then the egg is non-living. However, if the egg has been fertilized then the egg is living since the fetus inside is alive.

Various factors can affect ADH production.Certain drugs can either increase or decrease ADH levels.Physical stress, surgery, and high levels of anxiety can also stimulate ADH.diabetes insipidus.some tumors, especially of the lung.hypovolemia.

This is a very simple answer: If it's alive, it reproduces. There is no such thing as an immortal organism. They all die, and to continue the survival of the species they must all reproduce before they die. To keep the species stable, complex animals that reproduce by sexual reproduction and are either male or female must replace themselves - two offspring per female in her lifetime. There must also be enough extra young to cope with those that die before reproducing.

Plants fixate nitrogen from the air from lightning or precipitation fixation. Bacteria in the soil also fixate nitrogen in the air. Animals eat the plants and defecate or urinate as they eat. These wastes are incorporated into the soil through decomposition as organic matter. Mineralization occurs, turning the organic nitrate into ammonium. Nitrification then occurs turning the ammonium into nitrites, and another nitrification step turns nitrites to nitrates. These nitrates are absorbed by the plants and the cycle continues.

The largest unit of life on Earth is the biosphere, which includes all ecosystems, organisms, and environments on the planet where life exists. It encompasses the interactions between living organisms and their physical surroundings.

The four types of carrying capacity are: environmental, ecological, social, and economic. Environmental carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals in a species that an environment can sustain over the long term. Ecological carrying capacity is the maximum population size that an ecosystem can support indefinitely. Social carrying capacity involves the maximum number of people that a society can support while maintaining an acceptable standard of living. Economic carrying capacity relates to the ability of an area to support a population based on available resources and infrastructure.

Linnaeus's contribution to taxonomy was that he expanded on Aristotle's ideas of classification. Like Aristotle, Linnaeus used observations as the basis of his system. He wrote descriptions of organisms in groups based on their observable features. Linnaeus also used his observations to devise a naming system for organisms. In Linnaeus's naming system, called binomial nomenclature, each organism is given a two-part name.

Polygons are are closed plane figure with at least 5 straight sides

convex means curved outwards like a sphere

VEGETARIAN DIET------

IT WOULD BE A MESS IF EVERYONE CHANGED VEGETARIAN

LIVESTOCK'S WOULDN'T BE NEEDED ------ JUST EAT GRASSES ,ETC TAKING UP A LOT OF AREA FOR VEGETARIANS NEEDED FOR HUMANS FOODS

INSECTS WOULD BE LIKE ANIMALS AND TAKE UP A LOT OF TREES ,ETC AND VEGETARIANS FOODS ETC

JUST USING UP STACKS OF FOODS FOR VIRTUALLY NOTHING ----BIG WASTE OF AREA THAT COULD BE VEGETABLES ETC FOR HUMAN FOODS

Energy. All living things require energy to carry out essential functions like growth, reproduction, and movement. This energy is either produced through processes such as photosynthesis or obtained by consuming other living organisms.

• If two organisms are able to mate and produce fertile offspring, then they are of the same species.
• Horses and donkeys are two different species because if they mate, they produce a mule which is sterile (not fertile). This shows horses and donkeys are of different species.

Biosphere contains the fewest number of species compared to community and population.
