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.

Verdich [7]

Answer:

B - Python predation has caused a trophic cascade that changed the mosquitoes' niche.

Explanation:

The passage infers that the predation by the Burmese pythons has reduced the population of the animals in Southern Florida thus making the Culex cedecei mosquito to have a reduced number of options to feed from. This is stressed when the author notes that these mosquitoes are now feeding on cotton rats which harbor the Everglades virus that also have the potentials of being transmitted to humans.

Summarily, the passage is saying that the invasion by the Burmese python has changed the niche of most animals including the mosquitoes in the Southern Florida's wild.

Answer:

The average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres

Explanation:

Given -

In 1923, the population of deer rose to 100,000

The density of any species is equal to total population divided by total area of the land in which this population is residing.

d= \frac{P}{A}

Where d represents the density

P represents the population and

A represents the area of land

Substituting the given values in above equation, we get -

d = \frac{100,000}{800,000} \\d= \frac{1}{8}

Thus, the average density of deer in 1923 was 1 deer per 8 acres
