Food Chain Question 4: The diagram shows a model of feeding relationships in an ecosystem. What is shown by the arrows that lead to and from the racoon.
Answer:
The raccoon is a part of one food web and several overlapping food chains
Question 5: some bacteria cannot only tolerate high temperatures near the vent but can also harness chemical energy from inorganic molecules such as hydrogen sulfate.
Answer:
Chemosynthesis Question 6: process in which only certain types of bacteria can convert nitrogen gas into ammonia.
Answer:
Nitrogen Fixation Question 7: Would including photosynthesis in the model be reasonable and for what reason.
Answer:
Yes, because water is a reactant or input of photosynthesis Question 8: Food chain figure: Daniel's observations. Daniel's Observations in the food chain model provide the strongest evidence for which statement about Pond organisms?
Answer:
matter cycles and energy flows through pond organisms from primary producers to series of consumers
