The appropriate response is ligament in epiphyseal plate. The epiphysis is the adjusted end of a long bone, at its joint with contiguous bone(s). Between the epiphysis and diaphysis lies the metaphysis, including the epiphyseal plate. It is a hyaline ligament plate in the metaphysis at each finish of a long bone.
The statement above is TRUE. Food handlers are expected to keep their nails short and trimmed; this is because the microbes under nails can be a great hazard to the food that is been prepared. Food handlers are not expected to wear nail polish or put on artificial finger nails and if they do, they must put on single use gloves.
The flow of energy from one level to another does not happen with 100% efficiency. The producers only transfer 10% of the energy they absorb from the Sun. The major chunk of the absorbed energy goes into the growth of the producers, the rest gets lost in the form of waste (shedding of leaves, reproduction, etc.) and the remaining 10% is the amount that is available to the primary consumers. So by this logic, if there is 150,000 KJ of energy available at the producer level, then, only 15,000 KJ of energy will get transferred to the primary consumers.
