Compare grazing and detrital food webs. Why would they both be present in the same ecosystem?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Explain the difference between a grazing food web and adetrital food web, and give an example of each.The temperate regions show a lower value of primary productivity as compared to trophical regions.Give two reasons.Compare and contrast the measurement of primary productivity in terrestrial versus aquatic ecosystems.
- Classify the species in this ecosystem and draw a food web of the following species (in the image) 1. The primary producers 2. The primary consumers 3. The secondary consumers 4. The tertiary consumersBased on the marine biologists research journal entries identify a primary producer a primary consumer or a secondary consumer pick one and identifyWhich trophic level in an aquatic ecosystem would contain the greatest amount of usable energy? Primary consumers located 150 meters below sea level. Primary producers located 80 meters below sea level. Primary producers located 45 meters below sea level. Primary consumers located 40 meters below sea level.
- Availability of energy is less for entities at higher trophic levels.Why?What is another term used to describe: The second trophic level A herbivore A primary consumer A plant and animal eater The first trophic levelMap the Ecological balance of a food web with a symbiotic relationship of Predation (Prey & Predator relationship), which is composed of Decomposers, Producers, Primary Consumers, Secondary Consumers & Tertiary Consumers. Note: Food web is composed of interconnecting food chains.
- True or false? Grasslands are quick to develop into a climax community.In an ecosystem with four levels producers, primary consumers, and two higher-level consumers describe where the decomposers operate within the context of these trophic levels. Can you give me two examples?Compare and contrast the factors that limit the net primary productivity in terrestrial versus aquatic ecosystems.
