Answer:
Autotrophs are organisms that use light energy or energy stored in chemical compounds to make their own food.
1st order heterotrophs are organisms that eat only plants
2nd order heterotrophs are organisms that eat herbivores
3rd order heterotrophs: organisms that eat herbivores and other carnivores
Top group: carnivores
Explanation:
Producers are named as such because they produce their own food either by photosynthesis or chemosynthesis. These organisms are called autotrophs and include plants.
There are various levels of consumers. The first is first order heterotrophs, which feed on the producers. These are herbivores and include, for example, a deer feeding on grass.
The next is second order heterotrophs, which feed on the first order heterotrophs. E.g. an owl eating a mouse. These are carnivores
The next layer are also carnivores, third order heterotrophs which eat second order heterotrophs, for example a lion eating a zebra.
Only the energy used for growth (33 J) is available to the next trophic level, because it is used to produce more biomass which can be consumed by the next trophic level.
Answer:
d. Smoking
Explanation:
Nicotine is a chemical found in many plants such as tobacco. It is one of the 4000 chemicals that tobacco presents and the main component that acts in the brain.
This chemical is absorbed through the skin and lining of the mucosa of the nose and mouth, or in the lungs by prior inhalation. Nicotine can quickly reach the bloodstream and brain and reach maximum levels. The action of smoking cigarettes causes nicotine to reach the brain in just 10 seconds after inhalation. Although the acute effects dissipate in a few minutes, they cause the need to continue the intake of the substance (addiction)
