In terrestrial ecosystems, the energy and biomass pyramids are the same in that they store the most at the bottom trophic levels (with primary producers). However, in aquatic ecosystems, the pyramids are inverted. Why is this? O None of these answers is correct. O Aquatic ecosystems have fewer plants and other autotrophs Aquatic ecosystems have more keystone predators Aquatic ecosystems have fewer decomposers Aquatic ecosystems have more types of filter feeders
Beavers are powerful ecological engineers. When they dam flowing streams they can create ponds and wetlands. Select all of statements indicating the way that beavers change energy flow and element cycling by damming streams. CLIMASE ATAPLAR FORM Beavers have no effects on energy flow through the brown and green food web Beaver dams indirectly increase net primary productivity by creating wetlands and ponds Beavers indirectly reduce secondary productivity Beavers indirectly decrease primary productivity by turning streams into ponds or wetlands Beavers indirectly cause greater releases of carbon to the atmosphere by damning streams Beavers indirectly increase energy flow through the green and brown food wegs Beavers indirectly increase net secondary productivity Beavers indirectly increase carbon storage in organic matter
As related to ecosystem services which term is accurate match for direct service 1- the benefits humans receive from ecosystem processes 2- a product from the ecosystems biodiversity 3- the monetary value of a product
What is an example of an area that is likely to undergo primary succession? O Land is bulldozed and soil remains Plants die from drought and decompose A forest fire occurs Glaciers melt and leave exposed rock
This trophic level is the apex predator Quaternary consumer Primary consumer Primary producer Tertiary consumer
In a mangrove swamp, the roots of the mangrove trees trap plant debris on which pink shrimp feed. Great blue herons are among the animals that feed on the pink shrimp living among the roots. Little Red Bat Bocourt Swimming Crab Pink Shrimp Brown Pelican Great Blue Heron Pinfish Which statement below explains the role of the pink shrimp in this food web. O Processes organic material to produce nutrients for plant growth O Keeps populations of overabundant species under control O Enables energy to flow from plant debris to other organisms O Produces energy that forms the foundation of the food chain Cushion Sea Star
Which of the following best describes bottom up control of an ecosystem? toxic compounds in mature leaves prevent herbivory by some consumers keystone predation of sea otters on sea urchins mesopredator consumption of small mammals parasitoids infesting a tomato hornworm
When common garden spiders are present, insect diversity is much higher than when they are absent. Common garden spiders are most likely a ecosystem engineer dominant species keystone species
