The correct answer is (C) biomass at each trophic level
Pyramid of energy is a graphic representation of amount of energy trapped per unit time and area in different trophic levels of a food chain with producers forming the base and top carnivores the tip. As the biomass of producers are always greater than the carnivores, the pyramid of energy can't be inverted.
<h2>C) option is correct </h2>
Explanation:
- Glomerular filtration is the process which kidneys uses to filter excess fluid and waste products out of the blood into the urine collecting tubules of the kidney, so that they may be eliminated from the body
- The rate at which kidneys filter blood is called the glomerular filtration rate
- The main driving force for the filtering process, or outward pressure is the blood pressure as it enters the glomerulus, this is counteracted to some extent by inward pressure due to the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid within the urinary space, and the pressure generated by the proteins left in the capillaries that tend to pull water back into the circulatory system (colloidal osmotic pressure)
- The net filtration pressure is the outward pressure minus the inward pressure
Answer:
reduction in potential medicines
reduced food supply
Explanation:
The direct consequences of a decrease in angiosperm's biodiversity is a reduction in potential medicines and food supply.
Angiosperm biodiversity (the flowering plants) act as a source of food to several living organisms, including human. This is evident in the practice of farming by humans. Different categories of consumers in the ecosystem depends largely on flowering plants for their food either directly or indirectly.
They also serve as a source of medicine. For example, chloroquine which use to be the major drug against the treatment of malaria was extracted from a flowering plant known as <em>Chinchona pubescens.</em>
<em>Several species of flowering plants remains in the wild whose usefulness are yet to be researched. They represent a source of future food and medicine for man and animals.</em>
<em>Hence, if the diversity of flowering plants is reduced, it is going to have direct consequence of reduction in potential foods and medicine.</em>
