__________  are anything in an ecosystem that is not directly caused by an organism and may affect organisms withing the ecosystem. 

Abiotic factors.

400

Are the following organism an example of an Autotroph or a Heterotroph? 

Humans.

Heterotrophs.

400

What is the main difference between primary succession and secondary succession?

In primary succession, there was no living thing there before so think of a empty island.


In secondary succession, there was an ecosystem already there, something happened to destroy it or harm it, then it grows back.

What type of energy do plants convert radiant energy into, during photosynthesis?

Chemical energy.
500

____________ are animals, plants, single celled life form etc. Basically, any living thing that can react to stimuli, metabolize and reproduce.

Organisms.

500

Are the following organism an example of an Autotroph or a Heterotroph? 

Producers

Autotrophs.

500

Why are there many producers in an ecosystem but so few tertiary consumers?

Because of the flow of energy up the food chain.  Tertiary consumers only get about 0.1% of the original energy produced by the plants.

(3x) points if the energy flow/pyramid were mentioned in your response.
