Immigration followed by competition
I hope this right, if its not, sorry =)
Answer:
Forest biome: It gives us medicinal plants, woods for commercial purpose. Forests provides us rubber and fibers that is very important for the industries for making various products. They also contribute to perform ecological functions such as carbon storage, nutrient cycling, water and air purification. It also provides habitat to the wildlife.
Freshwater biome: We use fresh water for drinking water, irrigation, sanitation systems, and in industrial factories. Water used from groundwater, rivers and lakes is regained by rain and snowfall.
Marine biome: It serves huge amount of oxygen into the environment and absorbs the atmospheric carbon dioxide.
As a result of the activity of human there is a significant decrease in the number of trees. The products now used are synthetically made which were made up of natural fibers previously. The water source such as rivers, lakes, and ponds are polluted due to which many water borne diseases are increasing day by day. The accumulation of waste which are found in marine biome are reducing the number of flora present inside marine ecosystem.
1.2 pH is a on a scale where the lower the number, the higher the acidity.
Answer:
b) 1,000
Explanation:
In a typical food chain as described in this question, flow of energy occurs from one organism to another when they feed/fed upon. As one organism feeds, energy gets transferred to it. However, only about 10% of the available energy in the lower trophic level gets transferred because majority of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat during metabolic processes of the organism.
Hence, if a flower contains approximately 100,000 units of energy and is fed on by butterflies. 10% of 100, 000 = 10,000 units gets transferred to the butterflies.
Likewise, the butterflies gets fed on by certain bird species. 10% of the available 10,000 units of energy in the butterfly gets transferred to the birds.
= 10/100 × 10,000 = 1000 units of energy.
