Herbivore

the most energy, which would be the Tertiary consumer. We also learned about how important each species is due to the fact that if it were to disappear they wouldn’t be eaten and cause a rise or fall of an animal. Our goal was to find evidence to prove our claim was correct or if not ,why. For our procedure we looked at plants and changed the consumer. If a herbivore ate a plant the populations would stay the same no matter what herbivore in the webiste. The same goes for omnivores. What I could compare it to was when I created a food chain to see if the transfer of energy and the top predator needing more…

A food chain usually has three levels, the producers, primary consumers, and the secondary consumers. During the Mesozoic Era, many trees and ferns were producers, and herbivores like the Ankylosaurus were primary consumers. This meant that the primary consumers devoured the producers. Then, the secondary consumers consisted of carnivores such as the Spinosaurus. These secondary consumers ate the primary consumers. Today, the producers would be regular plants, the primary consumers would be…

The size efficiency hypothesis is an attempt to explain the commonly observed inverse relationship between the abundances of small and of large bodied herbivorous zooplankton in freshwater lakes. The size efficiency hypothesis was originally stated as follows: Planktonic herbivores all compete for the fine particulate matter of the open waters. Larger zooplankters do so more efficiently and can also take larger particles. Therefore, when predation is of low intensity the small planktonic…

While we are a part of the natural world and do things that many others in the natural world do, I would say we are slightly different. We may seek out pray to eat, or be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, but, for example, unlike the natural animals of the world, we can choose. Some people are only herbivores, others omnivores, but we make a choice. We are the prey to many animals because we are slower and incapable of defending ourselves against them, like we can be the prey of lions.…

both abiotic (e.g. drought) and biotic stressors (e.g. herbivore) at low elevation range limits (Rushworth et al. 2011). For understanding genetic controls on ecologically, these species are very important which provide further understanding of underlying mechanisms in natural populations as compared to artificial lab experiments. Boechera stricta is widely distributed in the western the United States. It is well adapted to diverse ecological conditions in whole United States. Therefore, this…

plants take in oxygen. The plant uses the oxygen to break down the carbohydrates to make energy. The plant gives out carbon dioxide, water, and energy.(Hackett) Energy Pyramid and Energy Flow The energy pyramid starts with the producers. The producers have the greatest amount of organisms.They use energy from the sun to make their own food by going through photosynthesis. The plants make energy and food through photosynthesis so then when they get eaten by the Primary Consumers, or the…

The levels are made up of the tertiary consumers (carnivores), secondary consumers (small carnivores and herbivores), primary consumers (herbivores), and producers and decomposers (plants and insects). The stronger and more dominant animals in the jungle are superior to the other animals and don’t have predators of their own. In the case of the book, the owners are above the workers and their families. The owners have the power of blacklisting workers and all their personal connections. They…

Zootopia, directed by Byron Howard and Rich Moore, is a children’s movie with a much deeper and important message. In the movie, Judy Hopps, a bunny whose whole family works on a carrot farm, becomes Zootopia’s first bunny cop. Zootopia is a big city with animals of all kinds working in all kinds of jobs, just like a normal city. Throughout the movie, Judy is underestimated because of who she is, until she solves a case involving predators become dangerous, or “turning savage”. The different…

Factory farming causes mass amounts of pollution to our environment. Producing livestock requires many resources and produces a huge amount of waste at the same time. 55% of the water in the U.S goes towards animal agriculture, where as American homes only use about 5%. Deforestation, Speciesism, Environmental degradation, water waste, carbon foot prints, methane emissions, cruelty and suffering, health issues and our ethics are all put at risk when we consume animal products. Nearly three…

In an ecosystem it is all about balance. When the lynx population goes up, the Hares population down. The Hare population is always higher then the Lynx population because that is the Lynx’s food source. The population of Hares always spikes when the Fox population is around 500. This happens because the more foxes you have the more they eat in general. Once the Hare population was smaller then the Fox population the Foxes started to die off. Until the Hare regained in numbers. Their are many…
