Answer:

The size is reduced as 80-95% of the available energy at one trophic level is not transferred to the next

Explanation:

There is loss of energy as it is transferred between trophic levels. The decrease in energy as it moves up the pyramid is due to energy loss as metabolic heat when one organism is consumed by another from the next level as it moves up the trophic levels.

You gave me a total of 43 words, and I only counted 41 slots on the crossword graph itself, which is problematic.

I got as far as I could, but some of the words either weren't provided, or the spaces were made incorrectly for the length of these words.

Across:
2. (black / pitch)
7. conservation
9. radiation
12. crest
13 ?
14. <em>whatever you wrote</em>

Answer:

prokaryotic

Explanation:

I think that because since it doesn't have a nucleus or as many organelles as eukaryotic. They are smaller in size and don't have membrane bound structures.

Which statement about cellular respiration is true?

qaws [65]

It is used by every living cell.
Cellular respiration is a process of combining oxygen with foodstuff molecules, diverting the chemical energy in these substances into life-sustaining activities and discarding, as waste products, carbon dioxide and water.
