One such way is thermoregulation, which is influenced by body size and environmental temperature. Lizards are ectotherms, meaning they do not self-maintain internal body temperatures; instead, they are the same temperature as the surrounding environment. A rule that explains body mass and temperature correlations, called Bergmann’s rule,…

In other words many sprouts are competing for the sparse amount of sunlight. The sprouts may also be competing for water and other ingredients necessary to grow.…

This is one way in which energy is transferred between organisms in an ecosystem. The energy is used for a number of life processes. In a food chain only around 10 per cent of the energy is passed on to the next level. The rest of the energy passes out of the food chain in a number of ways: 1. via heat energy 2. is used for life processes (for example movement) 3. uneaten parts that pass to decomposers 4. is excreted and passes to decomposers. As less energy is transferred at each level…
