- 2. Choose one of the following resources: timber, fish, soil, water, or fossil fuels. Discuss current problems having to do with the use and management of the resource, and approaches that have been taken to resolve the problems.arrow_forward1. Using the figure below, generate a food chain with four trophic levels, and identify each levelarrow_forward11. The ecological niches of three bird species are shown in the accompanying diagram. What is the advantage of each bird species having a different niche? Cape May warblers feed in the upper area of the tree. Bay-breasted warblers feed in the middle of the tree. Yellow-rumped warblers feed in the lower part of the tree. 1. As the birds feed higher in the tree, available energy increases. 2. More abiotic resources are available for each bird. 3. Predators are less likely to feed on birds in a variety of locations. 4. There is less competition for food.arrow_forward

- 28. Which of the following is an accurate statement about ecosystems? a. Energy is recycled through the trophic structure. b. Energy is usually captured from sunlight by primary producers, passed to secondary producers in the form of organic compounds, & lost to detritivores as heat. c. Chemicals are recycled between the biotic and abiotic sectors, whereas energy makes a one way trip through the food web and is eventually dissipated as heat. d. There is a continuous process by which energy is lost as heat, and chemical elements leave the ecosystem through runoff. e. A food web shows that all trophic levels may feed off each other.arrow_forward3. Modern agroecosystems differ from natural ecosystems in all of the following ways except: A. they (the artificial ecosystems) make the food chain more complex, causing higher biodiversity B. they (the artificial ecosystems) tend to be less complex than the natural ecosystems C. they attempt to suppress ecological succession by allowing only pioneer species to thrive D. they tend to raise crops in monoculture (a single species) rather than multiculture E. they tend to plant crops in neat, orderly rows rather than complex spatial arrangementsarrow_forward4. Both Biotic and Abiotic factors play important roles in maintaining and keeping balance in a healthy ecosystem. List at least four of each: Biotic Factors Abiotic Factorsarrow_forward
