D) Cheetahs with longer legs are more likely to capture prey.

Natural selection is a phenomena of differential survival and reproduction. It states that individual having better phenotypic traits being an advantage over the other hold better chances of survival and reproduction. These traits are also passed on from the one generation to the next generation.

Cheetahs with longer legs are more likely to capture prey is an example of natural selection. As, the cheetah has adapted to have long legs which favors it's running capability in order to capture the prey. Making it fit to survive under the conditions of scarcity of food.

Consider a hypothetical food chain consisting of grass, rabbits, and foxes. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units.

STALIN [3.7K]

The maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level is 0 units.

A food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing – from unicellular algae to giant blue whales – needs food to survive. Every food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can travel through an ecosystem. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. There is a 10 fold decrease in the amount of energy units as we move upwards in production chain. So from grass to rabbits we lose energy. The foxes will only really have two units once it's decreased by 10 fold again. The grass does not get any energy from the decaying bodies of foxes, they get the minerals that they need to grow. And so the correct answer to this question is 0 units because when the energy gets recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level it will be totally reduced.

Note: The question seems to be incomplete. So the complete question is "Consider a hypothetical food chain consisting of grass, rabbits, and foxes. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. What is the maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from the fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level? Answer choices: A) 0 units B) 0.2 units C) 2 units D) 20 units"

<span>i think this could help When the surface of the soil is frozen, most plants die because they cannot get water and nutrients from the soil because of their *structures* hint are too short to get past the frozen layer. What plant structure brings nutrients and water to the plant from the soil? </span>
