Summary Introduction
To describe:
The movement of energy from the producers to consumers in an ecosystem.
Introduction:
The producers are those organisms, which produce the food for themselves and also for others. The producers include plants on land, phytoplankton, bacteria and many others in the aquatic system. The consumers are the organisms, which eat other organisms to meet their nutritional requirements. They are directly or indirectly dependent on producers.

magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document.
Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different. (Editor’s note: Providing this information in your discussion will help readers to consider the significance of the research).
What is the difference between Uniporters, Symporters and Antiporters? Which of these are examples of active transport?
What are coupled transporters?
