You have an ecosystem with the following organisms: birds, fruit trees, tigers, and monkeys. which list would best describe the food chain? a. tigers, monkeys, birds, fruit treesb. birds, fruit trees, monkeys, tigersc. fruit trees, birds, tigers, monkeysd. fruit trees, birds/monkeys, tigers

D. Fruit trees, birds/monkeys, tigers

Explanation:

Fruit trees are the primary producers and produce fruits and other plant parts as food for birds. Monkeys are omnivorous and derive nutrition from eggs of birds or fruits, seeds and other parts of the plant. Tigers are top consumers and are carnivores as they feed on monkeys and even birds. Therefore, the given ecosystem may have the following food chain:

Fruit trees (first trophic level and producers)> birds /monkeys (second trophic level and first consumers)---> tigers (third trophic level and top consumers).

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
