The feeding relationships among the species in a community determine the community’s
- A. secondary succession.
- B. ecological niche.
- C. species richness.
- D. trophic structure.
Introduction:
There are various characteristics of the communities like their diversity and also their species feeding relationships.
Answer to Problem 1TYU
Correct answer:
The feeding relationship among the species in a community determines the trophic structure of the community. Therefore, option (D) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
Trophic level refers to the position that a specific organism takes place in the food chain. The structure of trophic describes the relationship of feeding amongst the organisms. It is thus, also known as the food web or food chain.
Option (D) is given as “trophic structure”.
“The feeding relationship among the species in a community determines the trophic structure of the community”, it is the right answer.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (A) is given as “secondary succession”.
It is one of the types of ecological succession. It refers to the change or destruction that occurs in a habitat due to any natural disaster. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (B) is given as “ecological niche”.
It shows the role and position of a species with the environment. So, it is a wrong answer.
Option (C) is given as “species richness”.
It refers to the measurement of species diversity that is the number of species variety in a community. So, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (A), (B), and (C) are incorrect.
The trophic structure determines the feeding relationship among the species in a community.

- As a medical professional, it is important to be able to discuss how genetic processes such as translation regulation can directly affect patients. Think about some situations that might involve translation regulation. Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why is translation regulation important? What are some examples of translation regulation in humans? Select one of the examples you provided and explain what happens when translation regulation goes wrong.arrow_forwardThe metabolic pathway below is used for the production of the purine nucleotides adenosine monophosphate (AMP) and guanosine monophosphate (GMP) in eukaryotic cells. Assume each arrow represents a reaction catalyzed by a different enzyme. Using the principles of feedback inhibition, propose a regulatory scheme for this pathway that ensures an adequate supply of both AMP and GMP, and prevents the buildup of Intermediates A through G when supplies of both AMP and GMP are adequate.arrow_forwardQUESTION 27 Label the structures marked A, B, C and explain the role of structure A.
