Answer:

A. Puffins receive energy from herring, herring receive energy from krill, and krill receive energy from phytoplankton.

Explanation:

A food chain represents the unidirectional network or path of the flow of energy and the matter in an ecosystem.

The aquatic food chain begins from the small or microscopic organisms called phytoplankton which is autotrophic therefore are considered the producers.

The phytoplanktons are eaten by a variety of other organisms in which the krills which live in the deep sea feeds on these phytoplanktons. The krills are the primary consumers who are eaten by small fish like herring which acts as secondary consumers. These herring are then eaten by the bird-like puffins and large fish which acts as tertiary consumers.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Why doesn''t the patellar reflex happen when your leg is straight?
irga5000 [103]

The patellar reflex can be defined as the kicking movement of the lower leg which occurs with a sudden twitch when the patellar tendon of a person is tapped. This patellar tendon is present below a person's kneecap. This reflex happens only when the leg is bended. It is impossible for patellar reflex to occur if the leg is straight as the quadriceps muscles are already contracted and a sudden kicking movement of the leg in such state could not be elicited.  The patellar reflex protects the quadriceps  from stretching too much.

Select the layers of Earth that are completely solid. A. crust B. inner core C. outer core D. lower mantle E. asthenosphere
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

The correct answer would be A. crust.

The crust is the outermost layer of the earth which is composed of different types of rocks such as sedimentary, metamorphic, and igneous rocks.

It is completely solid and can be broadly classified into two types: continental crust and oceanic crust.

The thickness of the oceanic crust is about 5 km to 10 km. It is primarily composed of basalt, gabbro, and diabase.

The thickness of the continental crust is around 30 km to 50 km.  

The crust forms lithosphere along with hard and upper mantle.
