Trophic levels go by, 
Producer (The nuts)
Primary Consumer (Squirrels)
Secondary Consumer (Raccoons)
Tertiary Consumer (Bear)


So squirrels would be at a lower trophic level.
 Hope his help :)

The correct answer is 1. squirrels are at a lower trophic level than raccoons

In the question a food chain is given:

Plants producing nuts -- squirrels -- raccoons -- bears

In the above food chain nuts producing plants are producers, squirrels are primary consumer, raccoons are secondary consumer and bears are top consumers. The feeding relationship can be graphically represented in the form of a pyramid. In a pyramid the number of organisms is highest at the base and is number of organisms get reduced as we move towards the apex of the pyramid. In the given food chain, squirrels occupies lower level than the raccoons in the pyramid. Thus, the squirrels are more in number than raccoons.

What will most likely happen to the population of bison that feed on the grass
Mandarinka [93]
If a portion of the grass was destroyed by wildfire, then the population of bison that feed on the grass will decrease. This is because there would be very little grass left for them to eat, and they don't eat anything else.

Which is not a major difference in the organization or content of prokaryotic and eukaryotic genomes?
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

All of the above are true

Explanation:

Organisms possess two types of genome viz; prokaryotic genome and eukaryotic genome. The eukaryotic genome is possessed by cells with a well-defined nucleus, where their genetic material (DNA). The prokaryotic genome, on the other hand, lacks a membrane-bound nucleus. The major organization or content between these two genomes are:

- Prokaryotic genomes generally have less DNA and fewer genes than eukaryotic genomes.

- Prokaryotic genomes have fewer repeated sequences and noncoding, intragenic sequences than eukaryotic genomes.

- Most prokaryotic genomes are contained in one circular chromosome while most eukaryotic genomes are contained on several linear chromosomes.

- In general, eukaryotic genomes contain many introns, repeated sequences, and transposable elements.

Based on this, all of the above options are TRUE
