How does the biodiversity in a food chain compare to the biodiversity of a food web?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

ExpWhat is Biodiversity?

Biodiversity and food webs

Biodiversity is referred to as the web of life because many microorganisms, plants and animals interact with each other. The relationship among species is an important part of biodiversity.

A food chain is a sequence of who eats whom. The usual order of a food chain is sunlight, plants, herbivore, omnivore and/or carnivore. In one type of farming food chain, green grass and wildflowers use sunlight to grow in a field maintained by a farmer called a pasture. A Billy (boy) or Granny (girl) goat grazes on these delicious plants in the pasture. A goat or any other plant-eating animal is called an herbivore. Animals that rely on the farmer for food and protection are domesticated. In turn, the goat provides milk, meat and wool for the farmer, his family, and others. Humans are omnivores, as they eat plants and animals. The goat also provides fertilizer. Microorganisms decompose the goats’ poop or excrements, which provides fertilizers for the grass and flowers to grow. This is one example of a simple food chain based only on green plants, goats, microorganisms and humans. Millions of food chains exist around the world. Food Chain

Food chains that are related in an ecosystem form a food web. In forest ecosystems, many types of herbivores eat the trees and other plant life. Carnivores, or meat-eating animals such as tigers, lions, and wolves, prey on herbivores. They usually prey on wild animals. Sometimes, if the habitats or homes of carnivores are destroyed, they may also attack goats, sheep or cows for food. For example, in India, farmers may lose their goats to tigers; in Eastern Africa, cows may provide lunch for lions and in Western Canada, wolves sometimes attack the domesticated sheep. Carnivores are an important part of biodiversity because they regulate herbivore populations so that they do not eat their favorite plant species to extinction.lanation:

о
BI
C
BD

Answers

Answer:

B) Oxygen and E) Carbon Dioxide

Explanation:

Cellular respiration has a general chemical equation as:

[tex]C_6H_{12} O__6[/tex]  [tex]+6O_2[/tex] ⇒ [tex]6CO_2[/tex] [tex]+6H_2O[/tex]

glucose + oxygen ⇒ carbon dioxide + water

Photosynthesis has a general chemical equation as:

[tex]6CO_2[/tex] [tex]+6H_2O[/tex] ⇒ [tex]C_6H_{12} O_6[/tex] [tex]+ 6O_2[/tex]

carbon dioxide + water ⇒ glucose + oxygen

Reactants are on the left side of the equation while products are on the right. You can see that the products in cellular respiration are carbon dioxide and water, these also are the reactants in photosynthesis. So (B) Oxygen and (E) Carbon dioxide are the answers.

Answer:

The answer is Water and Carbon Dioxide

Which of the following statements best summarizes the factors that affect population growth?

A. When resources are available, populations grow until they reach carrying capacity.

B. The more limiting factors affect a population, the greater the population growth.

C. The carrying capacity will decrease when there are no limiting factors affecting the population.​

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Before we try to answer the question lets define a few key terms

Key Terms:

Carrying capacity - The max population that can be sustained by the amount of resources in a specific environment

Limited factor are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource.

Now lets look back at the answer choices

For A,

A. When resources are available, populations grow until they reach carrying capacity.

This statement makes sense because with available resources, a population will continue to increase until the amount of resources isn't enough for the population, in other words the population will increase until its reached its carrying capacity. So this might be the answer, however lets look at the other answer choices just in case.

For b,

B. The more limiting factors affect a population, the greater the population growth.

This statement would not be true because limiting factors usually are expressed as a lack of a particular resources. A lack of resources ( more limiting factors ) would lead to a population decreasing, not increasing, therefore B is not a true statement

For C,

C. The carrying capacity will decrease when there are no limiting factors affecting the population.​

This statement would not be true because if there are no limiting factors ( which remember are expressed as a lack of particular resource ) the carrying capacity ( or the max population that can be sustained by the amount of resources in a specific environment ) would not change at all because there are no limiting factors changing the availability of the resources, therefore C is not the answer.

Answer:

D. Which cell organelles carry out the process of photosyinthesis and cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is the process which occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (plants and animal) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP. This process generate carbon dioxide and water as waste products.

Photosynthesis is defined to as process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy occurs in organelle chloroplast. Thus, the correct option is D which is which cell organelles carry out the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration?

What is ATP?

Adenosine 5′-triphosphate, (ATP)  is an important “energy molecule” found in all life forms.  Mainly, it is a coenzyme which works with enzyme namely ATP triphosphatase to transfer energy to cells by releasing its phosphate groups.

Mitochondria is known as the power house of cell and chloroplast is organelle produce green colour pigment called chloroplast which help in photosynthesis.

C) Organisms in the lake rely on dissolved oxygen to survive. The lower the dissolved oxygen, the lower the survival rate. D) Plant survival is related to the amount of light (depth) but animal survival is related to the amount of oxygen available.

Answers

Algae growth produces a high concentration of oxygen on the surface, which decreases with depth. The less oxygen available in deeper strata, the fewer surviving forms of life. The correct option is C.

According to this table,

On the surface, there is a higher amount of algae, and hence, more dissolved oxygen. As it gets deeper, algae amount decreases as well as dissolved oxygen.

If oxygen decreases with depth, it suggests that plants -oxygen producers- lack, probably due to the lack of sunlight reaching the bottom.

Other forms of life

Algae growth on the surface blocks the pass of light to the deeper strata.

The lack of light in deeper strata affects plants' growth.

If there are no plants in deeper areas, there is no dissolved oxygen.

Since animals need oxygen, they probably can not survive in deep regions.

With no oxygen, the bottom turns into an anaerobic environment, in which anaerobic bacteria can survive.

These conditions can be related to eutrophication.

Eutrophication is a biological process produced in water by an oversupply of nutrients or organic matter.

This oversupply, mainly of nitrogen or phosphorous, favors phytoplankton multiplication, especially cyanobacteria.

Cyanobacteria overgrowth leads to an enhance in primary productivity and reduces the pass of radiation to deeper strata. This fact affects biota in deeper zones.  

Gradually sedimentation begins, caused by the death of some vegetable organisms that sink in the bottom.

These sediments suffer decomposition in the absence of oxygen. Anaerobic bacteria act and produce fermentation.

Phytoplankton overgrowth on the surface and fermentation process in the bottom, originate toxic compounds that can damage the animals in the water body.

Animals die, creating more sediments in the bottom where there are anaerobic conditions.

The continued increase in decomposition and fermentation produces a bad smell and toxicity.  

The result of eutrophication is the stratification of the water mass:

First superficial layer, the overgrowth of blue-green algae, produces toxins and interrupts the pass of light to deeper areas. The surface then becomes warmer.

The second layer might have oxygen available for the animals.

In the third layer, there is no oxygen, so life is impossible for animals or plants.

In the fourth layer, there are animals and plant remains in the process of sedimentation.

At the bottom, there are organic matter and anaerobic bacteria in charge of decomposition and fermentation, through which they produce toxic gases and smell.

Options:  

A) All of the life forms in the lake can be found within the top 10 feet of water. FALSE. Depends on the conditions and the species.

B) As you increase in depth of water, plant density decreases while fish density increases. FALSE. Plant and animals density decrease, as available oxygen decrease.

C) Organisms in the lake rely on dissolved oxygen to survive. The lower the dissolved oxygen, the lower the survival rate. TRUE.

D) Plant survival is related to the amount of light (depth) but animal survival is related to the amount of oxygen available. The lower the amount of dissolved oxygen, the less animal life is present in the lake. FALSE. Light does not reach the bottom, so there are no plants there. Plants also depend on oxygen, not only animals.

Abstract -

The rapid increase of human population is putting an incredible strain on our environment. While developed countries continue to pollute the environment and deplete its resources, developing countries are under increasing pressure to compete economically and their industrial advancements are damaging as well. The demands that this growth places on our global environment are threatening the future of sustainable life on earth. One of the largest environmental effects of human population growth is the problem of global warming. Some scientists fear that global warming will lead to rising sea levels and extreme weather conditions in the future. In order to support the growing population, forests are being destroyed at an alarming rate. Humans also continue to put a great demand on the natural resources of our planet. Many non-renewable resources are being depleted due to the unrestrained use of fuel and energy. Many parts of the world also suffer from a shortage of food and water. The growth of population puts larger demands on our already limited resources. The environment on earth is suffering from the growth of global population. The depletion of resources and biodiversity, the production of waste, and the destroying of natural habitat are serious problems that must be addressed in order to ensure that life on earth will be sustainable throughout the next century.
