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.

Describe what it means when we say that DNA replication is semi-conservative:
Anna007 [38]

Answer: Semi-conservative replication means that during DNA replication, the two strands of nucleotides separate. Both strands then form the template for free nucleotides to bind to to create the two identical daughter strands. Hence each daughter strand has half of the DNA from the original strand and half newly-formed DNA.  brainliest

In fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers, their rapid increases in force rely on the ________ activity where rapid relaxation
Kitty [74]

Answer:

1. myosin ATPase

2. Ca2+-ATPase

Explanation:

ATPase activity of myosin head hydrolysis ATP and energize the myosin head. The energized myosin head forms cross bridges to facilitate the power stroke of muscle contraction. The fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers have the ability to produce ATP by aerobic respiration.  

These fibers have the  ATPase in their myosin heads that hydrolyze ATP three to five times faster than the myosin ATPase in slow fibers. This ensures the faster speed of contraction of these fast-twitch muscle fibers.

During their relaxation, Ca2+ ATPase pumps the calcium ions back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As the level of Ca2+ ions in the sarcoplasm decreases, calcium ions are released from troponin. Tropomyosin is allowed to cover the myosin-binding sites on actin and the muscle fiber relaxes faster.
