Question

The number of heterotrophs found in desert region is smaller. However they are found in great numbers in the sea.why is this so?

Answer 1

It is because in desert regions, the no. of autotrophs is less which affects the food chain and thus there are less no. of heterotrophs in desert regions. However, in seas, the no. of autotrophs is more than that in deserts so there are more no. of heterotrophs. In the food chain, the more the no. of autotrophs, the more the no. of heterotrophs. And also, many other reasons are responsible for the amount of heterotrophs found in an area such as- density of vegetation, climatic conditions, amount of water found etc.

Answer 2

Answer:

The number of heterotrophs found in desert regions is smaller. This is because in desert regions the number of autotrophs is less and this provides less number of sources of food to the heterotrophs which, in turn, affects the food chain.
