I would guess that the answer would be :'<span>These organisms dig more shallow burrows than they used to.</span>' If the crabs actively dig burrows, as many crab species do, and a layer of oil has persisted in the lower soil strata, it makes sense that the crabs would be reducing the depths of their burrows to avoid contact with the oil. The other possibility is that the crabs might might migrate to deeper waters, but this is less likely because the crabs would be evolved to utilise the intertidal zone.

Gametophyte

The cells from the male and female that combine to form a zygote are called gametes. The main job of the gametophyte is gamete production. Gametes are haploid reproductive cells. Gametes are produced in the sex organs on the haploid gametophyte by mitosis or cellular division without reduction of chromosomes sets. There are two sex organs; archegonium<span> which is found in the female sex organ producing egg cell and </span>antheridium<span> which is found in the male sex organ producing sperm cells.</span>

What happens to the size in each level in the idealized pyramid as energy is transferred through the trophic levels?
Fed [463]

Answer:

The size is reduced as 80-95% of the available energy at one trophic level is not transferred to the next

Explanation:

There is loss of energy as it is transferred between trophic levels. The decrease in energy as it moves up the pyramid is due to energy loss as metabolic heat when one organism is consumed by another from the next level as it moves up the trophic levels.
