Answer: 5 calories

Explanation: The producers are self feeders that make their own food by the help of the process known as photosynthesis.

The energy from the producers are transferred from producers to consumers when they eat them. All the energy from the producers are not transferred to consumers.

So, only 10% of the energy are transferred from the previous level to another level. If the rabbit is having 500 calories then the snake will have 50 calories( 10% of 500)

Hawk will get 5 calories which is 10% of 50 calories.

10% of energy is lost (to heat), for each level of the food chain. So the rabbit would have 500, the snake would have 50 and the hawk would have 5.

nekit [7.7K]
I think the thalamus is the gateway to the cerebral cortex. Thalamus is a small structure within the brain located just above the brain stem between the cerebral cortex and the mid brain and has extensive nerve connections to both. Its main function is to relay motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. A sensory impulse travels from the body surface towards the thalamus, which receives it as a sensation, which is then passed onto the cerebral cortex for interpretation as touch, pain or temperature.

Define groundwater, and list some anthropogenic (human) sources of groundwater pollution. Why do many scientists consider ground
joja [24]

Explanation:

Groundwater is the freshwater present below the earth's surface. It originates from the rain, ice, melting snow.

Some anthropogenic sources of groundwater pollution are

  • Aluminum.
  • Sulfur.
  • Arsenic.
  • Nitrates.
  • Fluoride.

Groundwater pollution has more problems than surface water pollution because groundwater is mostly hidden and it is very difficult to view, manage and monitor.

Groundwater holds its contamination and pollutants that cause pollution whereas surface water rinses their contamination and pollutants.
