Answer:
The organism to have maximum energy would be the algae since ii will be at the lowest level. so the answer is 'B'.
Explanation:
The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to other. The lowest trophic level is occupied by the producers. In this case algae acts as the producer. Krill acts as the primary consumer, followed by leopard seal as the secondary consumer and finally killer whale as the tertiary consumer. The <em>lowest trophic level </em> contains maximum energy.
As we go upwards, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next trophic level.
Answer:
The correct answer is - as energy lost at every trophic level.
Explanation:
In any ecological ecosystem the energy pyramids always upright unlike other pyramids such as biomass showing the number of organisms, that can be diamond shape, inverted or upright.
The main reason behind this is due to the fact that it is only a pyramid in the ecosystem that always unidirectional in the food chain which is always some energy lost with an increase in the trophic level in the food chain. This loss of energy always gets back to the atmosphere in each step of the food chain.
The correct answer is E. Vertebrates are all related to a common ancestor
Explanation:
According to biology and evolution, organisms from different species but that share similarities in morphology (body structures) as well as in genetics often have a phylogenetic relationship which means they descend from the same organism or share a common ancestor. This applies to multiple taxonomical levels including classes such as mammals or birds as it has been proved each of this derived from a common ancestor. Therefore, the similarity in the body structure (morphology) in all mammals suggest vertebrates are related to a common ancestor and as they evolved from this, they share similarities not only in terms of morphology but also in genetics.
