The answer would be B. The available energy would decrease from the mouse to the hawk. As the trophic level goes up the energy decreases because some of the energy is lost in the form of heat for every energy transfer. This energy being lost cannot be used by the organisms on the next level.
B. By lowering the energy need for the reaction, you increase the reaction speed or the rate.
The example of a biotic factor is the shrimp population in a bay. Biotic factors are living factors that affect organisms in an ecosystem. The biotic factors includes the producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs, and decomposer. Abiotic factors on the other hand are the non-living factors that influence an ecosystem; they include, sunlight, soil, humidity, etc
You can prove they're related by their DNA
