Answer:
(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.
Explanation:
The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
A silent mutation. This is when the new codon will work just as well as the old one without changing the amino acid shape.
<span>Phytochemicals
Phytochemicals are biologically active however they are non-nutrient because they are not required. But they are active biologically active in that some can be used to protect cells from oxidative damage in the form of antioxidants.</span>
Answer:
A
Explanation:
The correct answer would be that <u>the availability of food resources for black mice and brown mice will decrease.</u>
<em>Since the food requirements of the black mice are the same as that of the invasive brown mice, the available food supply that used to be only for the black mice would now be shared by the two strains of mice. Hence, the available food for the two groups of mice will naturally decrease.</em>
There is no sufficient information to conclude that the population of tan mice will decrease, hence, option B is incorrect.
The black mice and tan mice have different food requirements going by the information available in the illustration, hence, both cannot compete for food resources. Option C is, therefore, incorrect. In the same vein, option D is incorrect because the tan mice have different food requirements from the brown mice.
<u>The only correct option is A.</u>
