Answer:
D. About ten percent of the energy at one trophic level is passed to the next trophic level
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, the amount of energy decreases at each trophic level. Precisely, <u>the energy transfer from lower trophic level ot high trophic level is calculate to be 10% of the previous level</u>. Rest of the energy is just wasted through metabolic activities (e.g. heat). For example, if a grassland ecosystem has total energy of 10,000 Kcal, only 1000 Kcal would be transferred to the primary consumers, and then 100 Kcal to secondary consumers, and finally 10 Kcal to tertiary consumers. See figure for better understanding.
First option is incorrect because energy flow in an ecosystem is unidirectional. Option B and C are incorrect because energy flow is not dependent on specific animal/plant species but rather at trophic levels.
Answer:
I believe it's due to the movement and use of energy.
Explanation:
Plants tend to move much less than any animal, even if that animal didn't do very much. Plants don't chase and hunt down prey, but leopards do. Therefore, more mitochondria will benefit the animal who moves, versus the plant that does not.
Mitochondria are energy producers, which plants don't necessarily need more of.
A fetus is still a developing organism inside the womb so the circulation differs due to the difference in the environment the organism is in, while the baby adapts to the surroundings around it from the womb its circulation changes
I get you :-)
If supposedly there were air spaces in the palisade cell,it would have fewer chloroplasts that carry out photosynthesis.Hence photosynthesis won't be as effective.
Hope this made sense
