microconsumers [ decomposers , saprotrops osmotrophs]
decompse dead body of consumers and producers—— reducers ||| transformers ||| osmotrophs
maindecomposers
fungi bacteria == process of decomp, takes place totlay outside the body
decomposersplay imp role in
mineral cycle
flot
energy neither…
slot/law of entropy
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
n food chain the energy floewis
uno=idurectioal
shorter food c
has greater energy
generally the bac and fungi
are not included in food c
max no. of producer in unit area
in pond
sacvenger
vulture, arctic fox ,
T/F
all herbi are consumer
all carnivore aaare not predators
all prdatoras arent carnivores
