<span>This is due to much of the energy that is consumed by lower trophic levels of the food chain/food web being used at that lower level. This energy is stored or used and, therefore, unavailable to the organisms higher up in the chain. As the chain lengthens, less energy is available, usually as a factor of 10 (1/10 of the energy taken in by the level below the consumer is available to the consumer's level, for example).</span>

The food chain is a cycle of energy. The energy and biomass successively decrease along the food chain as animals from higher trophic levels consume the animals from lower trophic levels. As each animal consumes the other, only 10% is transferred to the next organism

5. If an organism has 5 pairs of chromosomes and no crossing over occurs, how many different
Tom [10]

Answer:

In spite of the fact that he didn't have any acquaintance with it, Walther Flemming really noticed spermatozoa going through meiosis in 1882, yet he confused this cycle with mitosis. Regardless, Flemming saw that, dissimilar to during standard cell division, chromosomes happened two by two during spermatozoan improvement. This perception, continued in 1902 by Sutton's careful estimation of chromosomes in grasshopper sperm cell improvement, given conclusive insights that cell division in gametes was not simply customary mitosis. Sutton showed that the quantity of chromosomes was decreased in spermatozoan cell division, a cycle alluded to as reductive division. Because of this cycle, every gamete that Sutton noticed had one-a large portion of the hereditary data of the first cell.
