Answer:
Autotrophs are organisms that use light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make their own food.
1st order heterotrophs are organisms that eat only plants
2nd order heterotrophs are organisms that eat herbivores
3rd order heterotrophs: organisms that eat herbivores and other carnivores
Top group: carnivores
Explanation:
Producers are named as such because they produce their own food either by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms are called autotrophs and include plants.
There are various levels of consumers. The first is first order heterotrophs, which feed on the producers. These are herbivores and include, for example, a deer feeding on grass.
The next is second order heterotrophs, which feed on the first order heterotrophs. E.g. an owl eating a mouse. These are carnivores
The next layer are also carnivores, third order heterotrophs which eat second order heterotrophs, for example a lion eating a zebra.
Answer:
The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.
Explanation:
A researcher is studying a population with a unique age structure. An age structured histogram he has developed over the course of several decades has undergone transformations in shape, from a pyramid shape to a roughly rectangular shape to an inverted pyramid shape (where the base is narrower than the top). The population first grows, stabilizes, and then declines.

Answer: B - People with two copies of the mutated gene have sickle-cell anemia. People with one copy of the mutated gene have both healthy and misshapen red blood cells and are carriers of the disease.
Explanation:
Co-dominance is when both the alleles of a gene in a heterozygote show. In the case of sickle cell anemia (since it is a co-dominant trait) even if the person only has one sickle cell allele, symptoms of sickle cell will still show up in that person. That's why the person in this example has both misshapen and healthy red blood cells.
