Answer:
The correct answer is -A. producer level.
Explanation:
the first trophic level is the level of photosynthetic organisms they produce their food and energy on their own from the ultimate source of energy, the Sun. This is why they are called producers.
Producers have the most energy in any ecological ecosystem as all other organisms get food from these directly or indirectly. Only 10 percent of total energy is transferred from one trophic level from producers to the next tropic level through consumers of different trophic levels.
This process is called autophagy.
Autophagy is an intracellular process of degradation, which includes the destruction of cytoplasmic components in the lysosomes. These components are considered unnecessary or dysfunctional and that is why they are recycled by the cell.
Autophagy has four sequential steps which are the sequestration, the transport of the components to the lysosome, the degradation, and the recycling and utilization of the degradation products.
Autophagy is considered as an adaptive response to stress by ensuring the survival of the cell and the tissue.
The answer is c. heliotropism. Hope this helps.
