On a global scale, energy flows through ecosystems whereas chemical elements are recycle in ecosystems. So the answer is the third option.
Energy flows through the ecosystem. Most energy comes from sunlight and it is transformed into chemical energy by autotrophs. When they are consumed by heterotrophs the energy is passed on, until it dissipates as heat.

Chemical elements like carbon and nitrogen, on the other hand, are cycled between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. This is not possible for energy. These chemical elements come from abiotic factors like the air, light and soil. They are incorporated in the biomass of the photosynthetic organisms and are consumed by other organisms. They are changed back into their inorganic form when the organism dies and are broken down by decomposers and the cycle goes on. So they are constantly being recycled.
In summary, energy needs a continuous source to be able to maintain and sustain the energy flow in the ecosystem. Chemical elements, on the other hand, are just recycled through processes between abiotic factors and biotic factors. </span>
By definition, a body system is primarily comprised of different organs and tissues that work one another to achieve a common body process. These body systems would include:
Circulatory system - concerns with the circulation of blood
Digestive system - breaking down of food particles
Skeletal system - composed of bone structures serving as our body's framework
Nervous system - composed of nerve cells that responds to different stimuli
Respiratory system - concerns of utilising the entry of oxygen and the exhalation of carbon dioxide.
Answer: Kids get their traits genetically from their parents. Their parents pass down genes that give their kids similar traits to their parents. Depending on which genes are dominant in the family, the kid will inherit those traits.
Answer:
C: competitive exclusion
Explanation:
<em>The competitive exclusion principle states that organisms living in the same community while competing for the same resources cannot coexist at a constant population rate. </em>
Once some of the species within the community get a slight competitive edge over other species, they become dominant and this might lead to the extinction of the weaker species in the long run.
<u>In the experimental plot, the removal of sea stars provided mussel and barnacle with a competitive advantage over other species within the community (sea stars are predators of mussels and barnacles). This led to the dominance of mussel and barnacle and the eventual extinction of other species within the experimental plot as compared to the control plot.</u>
The correct answer is C.
