Ecosystems

An example of how taxon classification might change is when new genetic research reveals that two species previously classified separately are actually closely related and should be grouped together. This could lead to a reclassification where the two species are now placed in the same taxonomic group based on their genetic similarities.

Yes, herbivores are an important part of a food chain. They consume producers (plants) and are then consumed by carnivores and omnivores, forming a crucial link in the transfer of energy and nutrients through ecosystems.

Predation: Predatory behavior, Predatory: any organism that exists by preying on others, Prey: an animal hunted and seized for food. Example: A predator could be the a snake. The prey would be a rat.

As succession progresses, the ecosystem will become more complex and biodiverse. The initial pioneer species will be replaced by more competitive and larger species, leading to a more stable and mature ecosystem. Eventually, the ecosystem will reach a climax community that is in equilibrium with its environment.

A marginal ecosystem is an ecosystem that is at the edge or boundary of two or more different ecosystems. These areas tend to have unique characteristics and species diversity because they blend elements of both adjacent ecosystems. Marginal ecosystems play important roles in providing transitional habitats and supporting biodiversity.

The radiosonde was invented by Robert Bureau in 1929. It is a device used to measure various atmospheric parameters, such as temperature, humidity, and pressure, at different altitudes in the Earth's atmosphere.

The area to which a species is biologically adapted to live is known as its habitat. It consists of physical and environmental features that support the species' survival and reproduction.

Biotic components of an ecosystem function by interacting with abiotic functions to allow the ecosystem to survive and keep living things alive. Examples of biotic functions include animals, plants and trees.

Yes, two species can occupy different niches within the same habitat as long as they have distinct roles and resources they utilize. This is known as niche differentiation, which allows species to minimize competition and coexist in the same environment.

This growth pattern is known as logistic growth. It occurs when a population reaches carrying capacity, the maximum number of individuals that the environment can support sustainably. At this point, birth and death rates are approximately equal, resulting in a stable population size.

A generalist species would be more likely to survive because they are able to adapt to different resources and conditions. Specialist species, on the other hand, rely on specific resources and may struggle if those resources are destroyed.

An organism's habitat must provide all of the following except direct sunlight at all times.

Succession is the process by which one community replaces another that has been partially or totally destroyed. It typically starts with pioneer species colonizing the area, followed by a series of other species that gradually change the structure and composition of the community until reaching a stable state.

The process of converting nitrate to nitrogen gas is called denitrification. This naturally occurs in soil, water, and sediment with the help of denitrifying bacteria. Denitrifying bacteria use nitrate as a source of oxygen and convert it into nitrogen gas, releasing it back into the atmosphere.

Well don't dare think that this answer is hard to think about ,but I really don't know.So go to another place or website thank you enjoy your answer.

I'd say carnivores rather than herbivores as I don't know of any that eat plants but they do eat other living creatures such as bugs, flies etc

An ecosystem is a habitat plus a community. A habitat provides everything an organism needs such as shelter, food, protection. So a big ecosystem, like a rain forest, can have loads of other habitats. Like a fallen log, a pond etc. Therefore, it is false.

Light and temperature are both limiting factors for photosynthesis because both are required for the process to take place. Photosynthesis will only occur between certain temperature ranges. If the temperature becomes too high or too low photosynthesis will slow down and eventually stop. Light is similar in the sense that too little light will stop the process and too much light will no longer increase the rate of photosynthesis for the plant.

The blue morpho butterfly plays a role in pollination as it feeds on nectar from flowers, aiding in the reproduction of plants. Additionally, they are prey for various predators, contributing to the food web's balance. Overall, the presence of blue morpho butterflies adds to the biodiversity and health of the ecosystem.

Community stabilization refers to efforts aimed at improving neighborhood conditions, promoting economic development, and creating social cohesion to prevent decline or instability within a community. This can involve strategies such as affordable housing initiatives, economic development programs, social services, and crime prevention efforts to revitalize and strengthen communities.

Properly speaking, dead things are formerly living things. It's sometimes used figuratively to mean something which has never been and could never be alive, but usually it implies that the thing referred to used to be alive but no longer is.

True. Food chains within a community are interconnected to form a complex network known as a food web. This web illustrates the flow of energy and nutrients between different organisms in an ecosystem.

If you are referring to the human consumption of oxygen, then the following might help.

When oxygen is taken in it is absorbed by the Haemoglobin, once the haemoglobin is fully saturated it cannot hold anymore oxygen and so any extra oxygen is simply dispelled through the lungs or does not make it through the alveoli.

Primary succession occurs in an area where there is only bare rock - no organisms and no soil. This occurs after a volcanic eruption on land that covers an area in lava. It also occurs when a volcano at sea becomes tall enough to become a volcanic island.

It depends. Frogs, mice, owls, squirrels, mosquitoes, and turtles are just some. There can be lots of different plants, too. Dog-tooth violets, delphinium, is plants for loamy soil, coneflowers and black eyed susans for clay.
