The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.

goblinko [34]

I'm not sure if I will answer the question you asked, as I many have interpreted it incorrectly. In natural selection, there must be variance in the gene pool, the total frequency of alleles in a population. Now, one of the organisms may have a gene that somehow helps them survive from the selective force much better compared to the others. If this does happen, over time the gene pool will narrow down to become just the genes of that organism that survived better in the first place because the rest would be taken care of by the selective force. So, the alleles and trait come from the first organisms that had the advantage over the others of its species.

never [62]

Answer:

increase anxiety; decreased vulnerability to overreact to stress

Explanation:

Serotonin (5-HT) is a natural neurotransmitter that carries signals between nerve cells (neurons) throughout the body. This neurotransmitter (serotonin) is responsible for regulating many biological functions (e.g., mood, digestion, sleep, etc). Moreover, it has been shown that there is an association between low cerebrospinal fluid 5-hydroxyindole-acetic acid (5-HIAA, the principal serotonin metabolite in the brain) levels and the risk of developing depression or destructive behaviors. In addition, serotonin concentration can also be elevated in situations of anxiety and/or stress. Antidepressants such as Prozac, Zoloft and Paxil act as serotonin uptake inhibitors that increase serotonin concentration at the synaptic site. Like other drugs, these antidepressants may lead to increase anxiety and decrease the vulnerability to react to stress by downregulating sensitivity to serotonin released during natural stress situations.
