Water at about 4°C (39°F) is more dense than water at 0°C (32°F). Why would the living organisms in the lake die if the water at

the freezing point was denser than the water at 4°C?
a)The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking sunlight necessary for photosynthesis.
b) The water would freeze across the surface of the lake, blocking the dissolving of oxygen and nutrients.
c)The freezing water would sink before it could freeze, preventing the lake water from freezing.

The correct option is D.
If water density at freezing point is greater, the ice formed will sink to the bottom of the water body and freeze the water up from the bottom. This will surely lead to the death of everything that live inside the water.

In 2000, the number of fatalities caused by measles was 582,800 worldwide. In 2013, that number was 145,700.
Marianna [84]

Between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

<h3>What do you mean by Measles?</h3>

Measles may be defined as an acute and highly contagious viral disease that is commonly caused by a single-stranded RNA virus known as measles virus.

Fatalities caused by measles in 2000 = 582,800

Fatalities caused by measles in 2013 = 145,700

Total differnce = 437100.

Now, the percentage = 437100/582800 ×100 = 75%.

Therefore, between 2000 and 2013, fatalities from measles decreased by approximately 75%.

Consider the following prairie food chain. Tall grass is consumed by grasshoppers that, in turn, are eaten by mice, and the mice
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Grasshoppers are primary consumers.

Explanation:

Autotrophs serve as primary producers in a food chain as they can make organic food by the process of photosynthesis. In the given food chain, tall grass is the primary producer. Grasshoppers derive their nutrition from the tall grass. The organisms that derive nutrition directly from the primary producers are said to be primary consumers. This makes grasshoppers primary consumers.

Mice the secondary consumers as they feed on the grasshoppers, the primary consumers. Red-tailed hawks are the top consumers in the given food chain. The bacteria, beetles, fungi, and worms are the decomposers that derive nutrition from the organic matter present in the dead bodies of the red-tailed hawks.
