The apex consumer level of this ecosystem contains between 500 and 1000 kilograms of biomass. Which statement best describes the

amount of biomass at the level of the primary producers?
A. much larger than 1000 kilograms, because a very high biomass of producers is required to support a smaller biomass of apex consumers.
B. between 500 and 1000 kilograms, because there are similar amounts of biomass at the producer and apex consumer levels of an ecosystem.
C. between 50 and 500 kilograms, because apex consumers have a moderately greater biomass than producers have .
D. less than 50 kilograms, because producers contain less than ten percent of the biomass of apex consumers.

Answer is option A.

When organisms eat other organisms, energy is transferred from one organisms to other. According to 10% law of energy transfer, only 10% of the available energy gets transferred to next trophic level of organisms. In this question apex or top consumer have 500 to 1000 kilograms of biomass. To have 500 to 1000 kilograms of biomass at apex level, the producers in food chain must have much lager biomass than 1000 kilograms to support biomass of 500 to 1000 kilograms at apex consumers. It is  because most of the energy is lost as heat during transfer of energy from one trophic level to another.

Identify the independent variable.
qaws [65]
Dependent and independent variables are variables in mathematical modeling, statistical modeling and experimental sciences. Dependent variables receive this name because, in an experiment, their values are studied under the supposition or hypothesis that they depend, by some law or rule (e.g., by a mathematical function), on the values of other variables. Independent variables, in turn, are not seen as depending on any other variable in the scope of the experiment in question; thus, even if the existing dependency is invertible (e.g., by finding the inverse function when it exists), the nomenclature is kept if the inverse dependency is not the object of study in the experiment. In this sense, some common independent variables are time, space, density, mass, fluid flow rate[1][2], and previous values of some observed value of interest (e.g. human population size) to predict future values (the dependent variable).[3]
Of the two, it is always the dependent variable whose variation is being studied, by altering inputs, also known as regressors in a statistical context. In an experiment, any variable that the experimenter manipulates[clarification needed] can be called an independent variable. Models and experiments test the effects that the independent variables have on the dependent variables. Sometimes, even if their influence is not of direct interest, independent variables may be included for other reasons, such as to account for their potential confounding effect.
