Study Notes
Organisms that produce their own food are called autotrophs, and organisms that consume other organisms to gain nutrients and food are called heterotrophs.
Bee Decline and its Consequences
- Bee species are dying off, sparking concerns among scientists.
- Bees are pollinators, playing a crucial role in plant reproduction.
- Without bees, many plant species will be unable to reproduce, leading to their extinction.
- This, in turn, will cause a population crash, harming biodiversity.
- The loss of plant species will also compromise sustainability.
