Please find the answers to each blank space in BOLD

Explanation:

Believe it or not, _ENERGY_ within an ecosystem is not transferred back and forth between all levels. Energy begins with the SUN and flows in one direction to PRODUCERS to CONSUMERS and, finally, to DECOMPOSERS.

A FOOD WEB represents all the possible paths for energy to flow within an ecosystem, whereas a FOOD CHAIN represents just one path. When drawing a diagram of a food web, you always draw the arrow in the direction of ENERGY FLOW. For example, an arrow from a PRODUCER to a CONSUMER.

Organisms at all trophic levels eventually die. MICROORGANISMS such as bacteria and fungi, process the stored energy in dead plants and animals and transfer part of it to the soil that the plants will use as nutrients, and the energy cycle continues.

Simora [160]

The answer is; warming of ocean water in the east of the Pacific Ocean close to the western coasts of South America.

The warming of the oceanic waters causes a current that pushes the warm waters eastwards of the Pacific Ocean at the equator.  This counters and overpowers the prevailing trade winds that blow westwards. The currents bring in storms on the West coast of South America as the currents exchange heat with the atmosphere .

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)?
Degger [83]
I believe the answer is head-on and port (left). The side lights are usually visible to vessels approaching from the front or the side. The red light usually indicates a vessel's port (left) side while the green light indicates a vessel's starboard (right) side. These lights ensure that there is safety at night as the vessels navigate.
