In a given ecosystem, how does the biomass of the primary consumers compare to the biomass of the producers?

The biomass of the primary consumers is about 100 times the biomass of the producers.

The biomass of the primary consumers is about 10 times the biomass of the producers.

The biomass of the primary consumers is about the same as the biomass of the producers.

The biomass of the primary consumers is about 1/10th the biomass of the producers.

The biomass of the primary consumers is about 1/100th the biomass of the producers.

What is the most common criterion used to determine if two individuals belong to the same species?

If they live in the same area, then they are the same species.

If they look alike, then they are the same species.

If they can have babies, then they are the same species.

It's just obvious.

Why is having high biodiversity beneficial for a community? (2 answers)

It increases the energy available

It decreases predation

It makes the community more resistant to disturbance

It contributes to community stability

When referring to competition, what does the "(-/-)" mean?

Both species are harmed by the other's presence

Both species go extinct

The species do not like each other

The predator and the prey are harmed (-)

During a drought, hardly any plant grow so there is little food for the primary consumers. As a result, many of them starve leaving little food for the secondary consumers. This is an example of regulation.
