Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What do Ecologists do?
A
Study eco-friendly ways to help the environment
B
Investigate crimes
C
Study the flow of energy through communities
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the study of energy flow, ecologists try to quantify the importance of different species and feeding relationships. The largest source of energy for an ecosystem is the sun. Energy that is not used in an ecosystem is eventually lost as heat.

Detailed explanation-2: -The interacting species feed on each other hence energy flow from one trophic level to the other resulting in energy loss through respiration. The energy then flows through a series of linear feeding interactions known as either a food chain or food web.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bioenergetics is a field in biochemistry, that concerns energy flow through living systems. This includes the study of different cellular processes, such as cellular respiration and the many other metabolic processes, that can lead to production and utilization of energy in forms such as ATP molecules.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ecosystem ecology is the integrated study of living (biotic) and non-living (abiotic) components of ecosystems and their interactions within an ecosystem framework. This science examines how ecosystems work and relates this to their components such as chemicals, bedrock, soil, plants, and animals.
