Answer:

0.01%

Explanation:

According to the ten percent rule of energy transfer, whenever energy is transferred from one trophic level to a higher trophic level only 10% of total energy available at the lower level gets transferred to a higher one.

Therefore, when the energy is transferred along with the food chain:

grass → grasshopper → mouse → snake → hawk, from grass to hawk there is a loss of 10% of energy at each level.

<em>Therefore, the hawk only gets 0.01% of the energy from the grass.</em>

Answer:

The best answer is Grass. The grass is photosynthetic, which means grasses make their energy from the sun. About 10% of this total energy is available to other organisms in the food chain.

Comparisons of wear patterns on the teeth of the australopithecines show which of the following diets?
Arturiano [62]

Answer: c. omnivorous (both meat from hunted large animals and plant foods).

Inhibitory postsynaptic potentials (IPSPs) are associated with membrane depolarization, whereas excitatory postsynaptic potentia
timama [110]

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

The cell membrane potential or the membrane potential is the difference in potential voltage inside and outside of the cell. Two main types of synaptic potential are inhibitory postsynaptic potentials and excitatory postsynaptic potentials.

IPSPs makes the cell membrane potential  more negative and hyperpolarizes the cell. EPSPs makes the cell membrane potential  more positive and causes the cell depolarization.

Thus, the answer is false.

N the United States and Canada, bats use one of two strategies to survive winter: They either migrate south, or they hibernate.
Serjik [45]

Answer:

Hyphae

Explanation:

It is given that the bat affected by fungus, Geomyces destructans (Gd) consists of delicate, white filamentous mat on their muzzles which could be possibly the hyphae.  

It is so because the hyphae is made of cells having tubular cell walls which more or less look like internal cross-walls having large pores to absorb nutrients from the surrounding environment (i.e bat’s body) and transport them to thallus. Hyphae are basically long thread like structures that spread throughout their food and release enzymes that break down the food
