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

35
Q

bac and fungi take upsome imfrom total c/as

A

nutrient immobilization

36
Q

GFC

A

most r this type
begins with producers
and in succ. order it goes from small to big org.

37
Q

PFC

A

this food chain starts from producres
in succ. order it gos from big to small org

eg- tree—- birds —- parasites

38
Q

both gfc and pfc the food c are directly dependent on

A

solar radiation and have rapid energy flow

39
Q

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

A

begins w the decomposition of dead matter
also c/as saprophytuc food c
1cons are bac an fungi
