B) Photosynthesis The Sun is the ultimate source of all energy in the universe. Plants being the main primary producers or autotrophs, use solar energy to make their own food through photosynthesis, thus converting energy into the organic matter that can be consumed by all organisms. They form the basis of almost all food chains from where consumers derive their food.
Answer:
A energy loss through heat
The answer is Monosaccharide
Indicator species may provide useful substitute for large scale surveys to monitor biodiversity. Weconducted surveys in the Afro-alpine habitats of the Bale Mountains National Park (BMNP) with theobjective of identifying indicators for the species richness of the raptor guild. Raptors were countedby scan sampling technique from a suitable vintage point. Three classes of 18 sample units groupedaccording to the variability of the moorland ecosystem in the magnitude of process variables importantfor raptor species richness were used in determining the indicator value of species as a function of their abundance concentration and the percentage of species occurrence per sample group. Thisprocedure determined indicator values for all species in the resident raptor community. Comparisonwith randomly expected values demonstrated that only<span> Aquila verreauxii</span>and<span> A. chrysaetos</span>haveindicator values that were significantly larger than the randomly expected values. The species richnessestimated using the abundances of these two species predicted the observed species richness of thewhole community in a linear regression model that explained 66% of the deviance in the data set.Furthermore, the species richness of the community predicted by process variables had correlation of very high significance with that predicted by the indicator species. We have thus identified twoindicator species to a raptor guild of the BMNP and demonstrated that these two species encapsulatedmost of the information regarding the species richness response of the guild to key process variablesin the Afro-alpine moorland ecosystem. Our findings contribute significantly to current and futureefforts of monitoring the biodiversity of the park providing a cheap and quick means of data generation<span>relevant for making management decisions. Hope this helped! :)</span>
The correct answer is A. Is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual.
Explanation:
In biology, altruistic behavior occurs as one organism actions benefit other organisms either because these actions increase the reproductive fitness or the chances an organism survives and prevails over time. Additionally, altruistic behavior implies there is a disadvantage for the organisms acting in the benefit of others. For example, wolves or similar animals take food to those that did not participate in hunting, which means they help other wolves to survive on their own cost as this means less food for those that hunted. According to this, altruistic behavior "is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual".
