The correct answer is B.
A food web typically start with a plant which serves as the primary producer of food for the other living organisms that are in the food web. The food web is made up of many tropic level, only about 10% of the energy in one tropic level is transferred to the next trophic level. 
Looking at option B, you will discover that the food web start with a plant which is mangrove. Insects feed on mangrove, southern leopard frog feed on insects and raccoon feed on American alligator.

Answer: b) Mangrove → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

A food chain is a linear sequence of transfer of food and energy, when one organism is consumed by another organism in an ecosystem. A food web is an interconnection of food chains. The energy being transferred among the organisms is relative to energy pyramid, depicting the trophic levels. The energy in each subsequent trophic level is lost by 10%, when the biomass in the form of organisms being consumed from lower to higher trophic levels.

Therefore, Mangrove → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level is an appropriate in defining the flow of energy in the Everglades food web.

Eukaryotic cells are 10-100 times the size of prokaryotic cells. how do eukaryotic cells resolve the surface area to volume limi
Katarina [22]

The surface area of a cell is approximated by the surface area of a sphere, given by the expression, 4πr². The volume of the spherical cell is given by the expression, 4πr³/3. The ratio between surface area and volume turn out to be, 1:r/3, or 3:r. This indicates that the SA/volume ratio is inversely related to the radius of the cell. Greater the radius, lower the ratio. Higher ratios are present in the prokaryotic cells This enables them to exchange food and water from their environment by the simple process of osmosis and diffusion. Eukaryotes have a larger cell radius and size. Thus, eukaryotes find it harder to exchange food and water by simple diffusion, rather they have specialised organelle present in the cell that actively transport food and water into the cell. These specialised organelles help the cell avoid the problem due to small SA/volume ratio.
