How can a physical change to an environment affect the number of organisms in an ecosystem?

Answers

Answer 1

It can cause a chain reaction. Every cause has an effect.

Example: Someone throws a cigarette out their window, causing a grass fire

Scenario A: A prairie dog population was killed in the grassfire simply because they had no time to escape.

Scenario B: The grasshoppers don't have grass to eat, so the prairie dogs don't have meat to survive because the grasshoppers are starving. Either way, the person who threw the cigarette caused a decrease in the population.

What is Cordyceps?

A fungus called cordyceps is found in China's high mountain regions and feeds on specific caterpillars. It is occasionally employed as medication.

The majority of supplements use lab-made cordyceps. Despite the fact that cordyceps is occasionally referred to as a mushroom, the form of cordyceps created in a lab does not grow a mushroom.

By stimulating immune system cells and certain molecules, cordyceps may enhance immunity. In especially with lung or skin malignancies, it may also aid in the fight against cancer cells and reduce tumor size. Natural cordyceps can be pricey and difficult to get.

Therefore, They help regulate the population of the arthropods in the jungle.

what role do wild Florida consumers play in the food web

Answers

Answer:

Other items in the internet, such as plants and/or each other, are 'consumed,' or eaten, by consumers. Pine snails, white-tailed deer, and some turtles and river rats will consume sawgrass in the Everglades. They then become food for another species, and the nutrition they gained from the grass is transferred to them.

Explanation:

Answer:

Producers Snake root ,Cypress Tree, Orchid Tree. Role of the producer:

A producer captures energy and stores that energy in food as chemical energy. Producers such as plants have special organelles called as chloroplasts that absorb energy from the sun.

Example: Autographs are producers, that make their own food by photosynthesis process.

Explanation:

In the Everglades, producers – mostly plants – produce energy and nutrients from the sun or through a chemical reaction. Then, herbivorous consumers – turtles, deer, and others – eat those plants for sustenance

Answers

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

Answer:

The stages of secondary succession are similar to those of primary succession; however, primary succession always begins on a barren surface, whereas secondary succession begins in environments that already possess soil.

Secondary succession occurs when the severity of disturbance is insufficient to remove all the existing vegetation and soil from a site. Many different kinds of disturbances, such as fire, flooding, windstorms, and human activities (e.g., logging of forests) can initiate secondary succession.

The one that is the most significant contribution DNA makes to the formation of an organism is information. The correct option is C.

What is genetic information?

Information about an individual's genetic tests and the genetic tests of an individual's family members.

Also information about the manifestation of a disease or disorder in an individual's family members, is included in genetic information (i.e. family medical history).

Genetic information includes your genetic tests as well as the genetic tests of your family members. Genetic information also includes any disease, disorder, or condition that your family members have.

All of the proteins that an organism will ever synthesize are encoded in the genetic information stored in its DNA. DNA is found in the cell nucleus of eucaryotes.

A DNA molecule is made up of two complementary nucleotide chains. The Structure of DNA Provides a Heredity Mechanism.

Thus, the correct option is C.

Which of the following explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle?*
(1 Point)
Plants transfer oxygen and carbohydrates in the biosphere to carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
Plants transport carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to groundwater.
Plants transfer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere.
Plants transfer oxygen in the atmosphere to fossil fuels.

Answers

Answer:

Plants transfer carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere.

Explanation:

Plants are unique organisms being that they have the unique ability to manufacture their own food via the process of PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Hence, they are called AUTOTROPHIC. Photosynthesis is the metabolic process by which plant cells make sugar (glucose) in the presence of sunlight.

However, in the photosynthetic process, plants require inorganic source of carbon called CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) and water to perform the process. The chemical overall reaction of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

This explains the role of plants in the carbon cycle as they help transfer carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere to carbohydrates in the biosphere (living organisms).

Explanation:

Adaptation to life on land, took place by desiccation tolerance that is the ability of the organism to stand or endure extreme dryness and the alternation of generations such as the life cycle changes in which the haploids and diploids change or show haplodiplontic.  The development of the phloem and xylem tissues for distribution of water and intake up of minerals from the soil.
