Q

flot

A

energy neither…

18
Q

slot/law of entropy

A

transfer of food energy from one to another leads to loss in energy as heat due too metabolic activity

ecosystem not exempt from flot they need a cont supply of energy to synthesis the mol they want, to counter act the universal tendency of disorderliness

19
Q

n food chain the energy floewis

A

uno=idurectioal

20
Q

shorter food c

A

has greater energy

21
Q

generally the bac and fungi

A

are not included in food c

22
Q

23
Q

sacvenger

A

vulture, arctic fox ,

GFC
most r this type begins with producers and in succ. order it goes from small to big org.
37
PFC
this food chain starts from producres in succ. order it gos from big to small org eg- tree---- birds ---- parasites
38
both gfc and pfc the food c are directly dependent on
solar radiation and have rapid energy flow
39
DFC in DFC energy flow is rather v slow yet mag. of energy is v great in mangroove vegetation this food c goes upto big org eg- bac n fungi --- amphipods, molluscs, crabs, nematodes----- sall fishes ---- tiger
begins w the decomposition of dead matter also c/as saprophytuc food c 1cons are bac an fungi
