What is the Role of A Consumer In An Ecosystem? An Overview of Decomposer Functions
The role of a consumer in an ecosystem is multifaceted and includes; regulation of plant growth, prevention of prey overpopulation, prevention of algal overgrowth, facilitation of energy transfer, provision of food to higher consumers and decomposers, contribution to carbon sequestration and release, contribution to nutrient cycling, enhancement of biodiversity, facilitation of adaptation, and provision of carbon dioxide for photosynthesis




What Does the Law of Conservation of Matter Show? Implications Discussed
The law of conservation of matter shows that; matter can be conserved under controlled conditions, thermodynamic differences significantly affect energy systems, matter is constant in a closed system, chemical reactions in closed systems can be accurately predicted, chemical byproducts can be evaluated using reactants and products, mass loss is accompanied by energy loss, natural systems and processes are sustainable.
