What do the signs of herbivory represent?
Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Explain the concept of Foraging for Food ?why do we need to know if an area is suceptible for herbivory and what is the indication if an area has high percentage of herbivory?If only a fraction of the energy that the herbivore gets from plant food becomes part of the herbivore’s body, what happens to the rest of it?
- Define the terms herbivore, carnivore, detritivore, and omnivore.Which of the following statements about the challenges herbivores face when acquiring nutrients is TRUE? O The ratio of carbon to nitrogen is much higher in herbivores than it is in the plants they eat. O They eat dead leaves, which has half the nitrogren that live leaves have. O They sometimes must eat insects to meet their nitrogen demands. O They need to get rid of excess carbon gained from eating plants.Distinguish the terms in the following pairs: autotrophic and heterotrophic; phototrophic and chemotrophic; herbivores and carnivores; omnivores and insectivores.
- Compare and contrast Predator /prey versus herbivore /plant Similarities DifferencesIs herbivorism a form ofpredatism?Which of the following would you expect to be TRUE of an herbivore: -More canine teeth than molars -An extended cecum -Fewer endosymbionts than found in omnivores -A shorter, simpler digestive tract A- longer esophagus
- Define some strategies to increase the food production from cattle?Confronted with a piece of meat hanging from a branch by a long string, a hungry raven managed to solve the problem of obtaining the morsel of meat for its dinner. How?Which of the following statements about nutrient challenges faced by organisms is FALSE? Carnivores are limited by the ratio of carbon to nitrogen found in prey. Detritivores consume food rich in carbon but poor in nitrogen. Plants can exhibit the same type of functional response curve describing the rate of energy intake as carnivores. The diet of a carnivore can vary geographically depending on the availability of prey.
