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.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

       The right answer to this question is option A) island forms and mainland forms descended from common ancestors.

       It's known in science that a long time ago, all the continents were only one, united all together in a bigger one. This can be observed by the way every continent can fit another one.

       A proof of that too, is evolution, when we find organisms in an island that share some characteristics with organisms from another island, that can mean some things, they come from the same place, or these islands share characteristics that lead these organisms to be this way through evolution.
