This is because the level of energy decreases throughout the food pyramid.
At the beginning with producers, they contain the most energy or 100%. However, once they are consumed, the consumer loses 90% of the energy. Thus, primary consumers only get 10% of the energy, secondary consumers only get 1% and so on and so forth higher.
Because of the lack of energy being passed along within the food pyramid, higher order consumers (typically carnivores) must have a lot of prey to consume, but this also means competition. Therefore, higher in the ranks, there is more competition which leads to smaller populations.
Hope this helps!
ATP and NADPH
The light reactions of photosynthesis occur in the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast. Electron carrier molecules are arranged in electron transport chains that produce ATP and NADPH, which temporarily store chemical energy
What is Electron transport chains in Photosynthesis ?
The electron transport chain is a series of four protein complexes that couple redox reactions, creating an electrochemical gradient that leads to the creation of ATP in a complete system named oxidative phosphorylation.
- It occurs in mitochondria in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
- The primary task of the last stage of cellular respiration, the electron transport chain, is to transfer energy from the electron carriers to even more ATP molecules, the "batteries" which power work within the cell

The correct answer is C.
The zygote is a single fertilized egg cell that the embryo develops from.
This one cell possesses one copy of DNA that is going to be passed to all other cells in the embryo because all other cells of the embryo develop through mitotic divisions of the zygote.
Therefore, if a mutation happens in the zygote DNA, all of the cells in the embryo are going to have it as well.
Surface currents pick up on energy from the ocean floor. As they travel, they move around energy from one place to another. This affects the climate in its environment.
