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>
Answer:
(A) Bioaccumulation
Explanation:
When the concentration of certain substances in the bodies of the organisms of various trophic levels keeps on increasing as they pass through the food chain, the process is called bioaccumulation or biomagnification.
Most of the organic non-biodegradable pollutants/chemicals exhibit bioaccumulation. Being insoluble in water, these chemicals are accumulated in the fat tissues of the organisms.
As the predator feeds on the prey having a non-biodegradable chemical in its tissues, the chemical enters the body of the predator.
As these chemicals pass through the food chain, there is a gradual increase in their concentration stored in the living tissues of the organisms. Therefore, the top consumers exhibit maximum bioaccumulation of contaminants in a food chain.
Answer:
Explanation:
<em>The probability of producing plants with white axial flowers would be 1/16.</em>
From the illustration, All F1 individuals had red, axial flowers. It thus means that red and axial genes are dominant over white and terminal genes in the pea plant.
Let us assume that the allele for flower color is A (red) and a (white); and the allele for flower location is B (axial) and b (terminal).
Pure-breeding red, axial flower = AABB
Pure breeding white, terminal flower = aabb
AABB x aabb
F1 genotype = AaBb - all red and axial
At F2:
AaBb x AaBb
Progeny
<em>9 A_B_ red/axial</em>
<em>3 A_bb red/terminal</em>
<em>3 aaB_ white/axial</em>
<em>1 aabb - white/terminal</em>
Hence, the probability of producing plants with white axial flowers in the F2 generation is 1/16.
The answer is option 1, 3, 5,7, and 10
