does the population size increase or decrease at higher trophic levels in the pyramid of numbers for all of your ecosystems?

The population size should decrease at higher trophic levels. The reason is there isn't enough prey to feed the predators as the trophic levels increase. For example, the biggest impact in the ocean would be if you lost all the small fish in an ocean because the predators would be left with less food. It's not exactly correlating, but if you think a little about the statistics it makes sense.

hope this helps

<h2>Sodium channels </h2>

Explanation:

Depolarization is a result of sodium channels opening as a result of chemical or pressure-based stimuli

Depolarization starts when a threshold stimulus applied on a neuron via Na+ mechanically operated channels that trigger action potential
Action potential is an efficient signaling process by which distantly located cells communicate to each other
Depolarization of membrane potential is due to influx of Na+ via voltage gated Na+ channels
Fast opening of voltage gated Na+ channel shifts membrane potential from -70mV to + 50mV at which voltage gated Na+ channels become inactive thus influx of Na+ abruptly stops

Why are nutrients needed for living things? Describe the difference between living and nonliving things.

Living things require energy in order to survive.

living:They are made up of cells; exhibit characteristics of life, like growth, movement, reproduction, response to stimuli; they evolve, and require energy for daily activities.
