<span>This is due to much of the energy that is consumed by lower trophic levels of the food chain/food web being used at that lower level. This energy is stored or used and, therefore, unavailable to the organisms higher up in the chain. As the chain lengthens, less energy is available, usually as a factor of 10 (1/10 of the energy taken in by the level below the consumer is available to the consumer's level, for example).</span>
Answer:
Physarum first grows as single-celled amoebae, but the amoebae fuse, and the organism loses its 'cellular' makeup. As the organism continues to grow, nuclei divide without cell division. The resulting bag of nuclei is called a 'coenocyte' or 'plasmodium'.

Hi!
The correct option would be A. There's lower biodiversity among birds
Biodiversity refers to the variety of organisms (species) that inhabit a particular place, such as in our case different species of birds.
From the graph we can see that over time, the bird species are declining. From roughly 1700 bird species, the number has fallen to about 200 bird species by the middle of the fourth year.
Hence, we can deduce, and it would be accurate to say, that there is a relatively lower biodiversity amongst the birds with regard to that in the beginning.
Option B is incorrect because if the birds had a higher reproductive rate, they would be able to make up for the loss of bird species from the habitat. From the graph, we can assume that there's a moderately low reproductive rate among the birds.
Option C is incorrect because we do not know the affect of this pollution on the producers (photosynthesizing plant lifeforms). It may be possible that they might be declining, but we cannot conclude that solely from the graph.
Hope this helps!
