Answer:

The caterpillars gain energy directly from the orchids

Explanation:

Earth maintains the flow of nutrients in the form of cycles and linear sequence in which the nutrients in the form of matter and energy flows from one organism to another and one sphere to another sphere.

One such flow of nutrients in the form of matter and energy can be observed in the organisms when one organism feed upon another and gain energy. This flow of matter and energy is called a food chain.  

The energy flows in this food chain through ten percent rule which states that only ten percent of energy can be transferred to next trophic level, therefore, the organism at the lowest level will have the highest amount of energy.

In the given question, the caterpillars can be considered as primary consumers which gain energy from the orchid plants directly and thus is the most appropriate answer.

Dimas [21]

Answer: B.) More research is needed to reach a conclusion, including related variables

Explanation:

As it is evident that oxygen is necessary element for living beings. It is required for the process of respiration, in which the food particles are broken down in the presence of oxygen into simpler substances.

Applying this knowledge to the given study suggests that all organisms require oxygen which can be less or more depending upon their habitat either in the shallow waters or in the depths. This conclusion is invalid and requires more explanatory approach which can be achieved by more research so as to derive a valid conclusion in which the two variables oxygen and relative habitats can be compared.

Why does diversity increase as height above land increases​
wolverine [178]

Biodiversity rises with altitude initially before falling with height beyond that. Up until it reaches a diversity peak at about 1 300 to 1 800 m.

  • The biodiversity increases at higher geographical locations because There are more hiding locations. They are better for crop growth. They frequently include more than one kind of habitat.
  • As latitude or altitude change, so does biodiversity. As we descend from high to low elevations, the diversity increases (i.e., from poles to equator).
  • While the environment is harsh and plants have a brief growing season in the temperate region, tropical rain forests provide year-round growth-friendly circumstances.
  • This enables the emergence and expansion of several species. On a mountain, there is an initial increase in species diversity after which there is a decline in species variety as you go up in elevation.
  • At higher elevations, temperature drops and seasonal variations increase, which significantly diminishes.

Debridement is used to remove ________ from the skin. necrotic tissue wrinkles bacteria a cancerous tumor
Angelina_Jolie [31]
I think the correct answer is necrotic tissue. Debridement is the removal of unhealthy tissue from a wound or skin to promote healing. It can be done using surgical methods, chemical, mechanical or autolytic (own body process)removal of the tissue. The unhealthy tissue may be a damaged, dead or infected tissue that is removed to improve the potential of healing of the remaining healthy tissue.
