Answer: D. at most 10
Explanation:
Using the energy pyramid, the ratio of grassland to primary consumer to secondary consumer is: 100:10:1 respectively.
Thus if the grassland supports 100 cattle (primary consumer), the numbers of humans (secondary consumer) the cattle can feed will be;
100/10 = 10.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions. This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including anaerobic respirations and fermentations.
Organic matter that is not consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed by anaerobes.
