snapper fish are secondary consumers, and herons are tertiary consumers.\n- Decomposers: The diagram includes bacteria and dead organic matter, highlighting the role of decomposers in breaking down dead organism
Decomposers Organisms that secrete digestive enzymes Ex: Fungi Communities Group of interacting populations that occur in the same area at the same time Niche An organism's particular role in an ecosystem, or how it makes its living. Keystone Species a species on which other species in an ecosys...
A category of parasitic infections, known as snail-transmitted parasitic diseases (STPDs), is harmful to humans and animals and is mainly driven by various trematodes, cestodes, and nematodes. The environment plays a crucial role in transmitting these parasites, as suitable habitats and conditions ...
Energy plays a vital role in the propagation of life in ecosystems. Different organisms depend on each other either as a food source or through other symbiotic relationships (e.g., mutualism). The feeding pattern among organisms within an ecosystem ...
What is the importance of biodiversity on the environment? Is there a benefit to having more than one type of organism in an ecosystem? What role does herpetofauna play in food chains/webs? Provide an example. Describe the three main types of symbiosis (commensalism, mutualism, and...
Energy efficiency: measure of how much work results from each unit of energy put into a system Understand how energy moves through an ecosystem and the two main processes involved including inputs/outputs Photosynthesis: 6CO2+6H2OC6H12O6+6O2 ...
