Answer:

The correct answer is c. c.Squid feed on Zooplankton.

Explanation:

In a marine food chain, phytoplankton are the primary producers which can make their own food by the process of photosynthesis.

Then these primary producers are consumed by primary consumers that are zooplanktons. Then these zooplanktons are consumed by small fishes that means small fishes are secondary consumers.

The tertiary consumers are squids that feed on small fishes, not on zooplanktons. Seals are on top of trophic level because they consume squids. So squids feed on small fishes, not zooplanktons, therefore, the correct answer is c.Squid feed on Zooplankton.

Effectus [21]

Most heterotrophs are chemoorganoheterotrophs (or simply organotrophs) who utilize organic compounds both as a carbon source and an energy source. The term "heterotroph" very often refers to chemoorganoheterotrophs. Heterotrophs function as consumers in food chains: they obtain organic carbon by eating autotrophs or other heterotrophs. Most opisthokonts and prokaryotes are heterotrophic

Why is the phloem in a leaf important to the roots of a plant apex?

Nana76 [90]

Answer:

The correct answer will be- phloem transports photsynthetic products to the roots

Explanation:

Phloem is the vascular tissue which specializes in transporting the solute molecules like sugar in the form of sucrose to in the plants.

The phloem connects the photosynthetic organ (Leaves) to non-photosynthetic organs (stem and roots) of the plants by transporting the photosynthates or sucrose to various parts.

Since the roots also need the energy to perform metabolic functions so need the photosynthates to synthesize the energy molecule. They receive the photosynthates from the phloem.

Thus, phloem transports photosynthetic products to the roots is the correct answer.
