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.

In binomial nomenclature, the name of the species consists of two (Greek: bi-) names or terms (Greek: nome). According to this system, t</span>he first word indicates the genus classification of an organism and the second word indicates the species within a genus. For example, Latin name for a white oak is Quercus alba and for a red oak is <span>Quercus rubra</span>. Quercus is the name of the genus and it includes both white oak (Q. alba) and red oak (Q. rubra). The second words - alba and rubra, respectively, indicate the name of the species within the genus Quercus.<span>

Answer:E is as far from C as it is from D. So,CE = E-C = (-1-5,0-2) = (-6,-2)So, add that much to E and you getD = E+(E-C) = (-1,0)+(-6,-2) = (-7,-2)

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

Esta afirmación es correcta ya que la ley de conservación de la energía es también aplicable a sistemas vivos  

Explanation:

La ley de la conservación de la energía (la cual es la primera ley de la termodinámica) indica que la energía no se puede crear ni se puede destruir, solamente se transforma, de un tipo a otro. La ley de la conservación de la energía es de vital importancia para entender la existencia del mundo natural. En ecología, la energía fluye de un nivel trófico a otro en forma de biomasa, es decir, dentro de la cadena alimentaria. Esta energía no se puede crear ni destruir sino que es almacenada en los organismos, los cuales representan sistemas abiertos que intercambian materia y energía con el medio. Una vez dentro del organismo, una parte de esta energía es transformada (en plantas, por ejemplo, la energía es convertida en enlaces químicos durante la síntesis de carbohidratos), mientras que otra parte de la energía se elimina al exterior (por ejemplo, se disipa en forma de calor), pero la energía no se crea ni se destruye.
