In an energy pyramid, the amount of energy at the producer level is 475,650 kilocalories. the pyramid has four trophic levels, i

ncluding the producer level. assuming that 10% of the energy is retained at every level, how much energy is available for the second-level consumers? the energy available for the second-level consumers is kilocalories.

The energy available for the second-level consumers is <u>4756.5 </u>kilocalories.

A trophic level is a  position in the food chain or nutrient cycle of an ecosystem. Based on their eating habits, organisms in a food chain are divided into various levels. The first trophic level is usually occupied by producers that can synthesize their own food.

The efficient energy transfer from one trophic to another is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the ecosystem. The studies of the transfer of energy in different food chains in a large number of ecosystems have revealed a uniform pattern, which is stated as the 10 percent law by Lindemann. According to this law, only 10 percent of the energy entering a particular trophic level of organisms is available for transfer to the next higher trophic level.

Calculation:

Producers (475650 kilocalories) —>  Primary consumers (10% of 475650 = 47565 kilocalories) —> Secondary consumers (10% of 47565 = 4756.5 kilocalories).

So, the energy available for second-level consumers is 4756.5 kilocalories.

Elden [556K]

Given the characteristics mentioned in the question, the animal must be an annelid.

<h3>What is an annelid?</h3>

Annelids, (Phylum name annelida) segmented worms, characterized by having body cavities (or body coelom), mobile bristles (or setae), and bodies segmented by transverse rings. The body cavity is reduced in leeches, and the bristles are devoid of some specialized morphology, including leeches. An important phylum of invertebrates in the animal kingdom, Annelida, consists of more than 9,000 species divided into three classes: Sea worms (polychaetes) are divided into motile and sedentary or tube-dwelling forms. earthworms (Oligochaeta); and leeches (Hildinea). Annelids are coelomic and tridermal.

General characteristics of annelids are:

  1. They show organization at the organ system level.
  2. Your body is segmented.
  3. They breathe through their body surfaces.
  4. The kidney is an excretory organ. They have well-developed circulatory and digestive systems.
  5. Common names for more familiar annelids include earthworms, sandworms, annelids, bristleworms, and leeches.

Which two statements summarize a way that an other-feeder gets food?
maksim [4K]

Answer:

B. Sphagnum moss takes in energy from sunlight.

D. Euglenas carry out photosynthesis.

Explanation:

According to the question, "a self-feeder" means an autotrophic organism i.e. an organism that produces or obtains food by itself. The process by which an autotrophic organism obtains food is referred to as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. Photosynthesis entails the synthesis of food in form of organic compounds in the presence of sunlight.

Based on this, Euglenas, which is a plant-like protist, carrying out photosynthesis and Sphagnum moss, which is a lower plant (bryophyte) taking in energy from sunlight in order to perform photosynthesis are two examples that describes a "self-feeder"
