<span>If the earth tides are decreased, the explanation would likely be: the gravitational attraction decreases as the earth moved farther from the sun, thus, affecting the tide. On the other hand, if the gravitational pull increases, it would mean that the earth tide would also increase. Remember, the two major factors that influences earth tides are: gravitational pull of the moon and of course, the sun.</span>
A: Population
If a group of one certain species are living in the same area they are a population. The same goes for humans, we are the same species and when we live in the same area we say we are part of a population. That’s why you would hear things like “the population of massachusetts is 2million” or whatever it is.
Scientific information refers to the classification, collection, dissemination, and retrieval of recorded knowledge treated both as a pure and as an applied science. The two features of a scientific information source, which may suggest that the information is not reliable are:
1. The information is based on data that are not peer-reviewed, that is, the information has not been reviewed by the experts in the field, or is not encouraged by an accord of experts in the field.
2. The references are not cited, that is, it not clear or not known that from where the information originated.
Answer:
- Autotrophs are usually defined as those that can prepare their own food by carrying out the process of photosynthesis, but heterotrophs cannot prepare their own food and are directly dependent on the autotrophs for food. Examples of autotrophs are plants and trees, and examples of heterotrophs are animals and human beings.
- Autotrophs are the lowest organisms in the trophic level, where they produce the food for the consumers (heterotrophs). On the other hand, the heterotrophs lie above the autotrophs and when they consume their food, they obtain only 10% of the energy, and the remaining energy is released into the environment.
- Autotrophs can make organic substances by the use of inorganic molecules, but heterotrophs cannot make these substances. They are only dependent on the molecules prepared by these autotrophs.
Thus, these are three of the facts regarding autotrophs and heterotrophs existing on earth that are true.
