Answer:

Only 10% of energy of the biomass is transferred from organism into another organism while the 90% of energy is lost as a heat energy.

Explanation:

The biomass is transferred from one organism into another by eating of organism. The body of organism converts the biomass eaten into micro-molecules such as glucose, amino acid and fatty acid etc. When organism eats another organism, only 10% of energy of the biomass is transferred from organism into another organism while the 90% of energy is lost as a heat energy. When we go up in the energy pyramid, the number of organisms decreases because there is less food available for the organisms that is present at the top of the pyramid. For example, if there are 1000 of herbivores present in the jungle so the carnivores number are in 100, it is because 1000 herbivores can feed only 100 carnivores. So that's why population decreases when we go up in the energy pyramid.

Write a lab report for this lesson’s lab. Be sure that your report:
Darya [45]

Hello. It is not possible to make a report of your class in the laboratory, without having attended that class. For this reason, I will show you how this report can be written. I hope it helps you.

You should start your report with an introduction. This will be a short paragraph, where you will present the laboratory where the class was held, the time and date. Then you will give a brief presentation of what was observed during that class.

In a second paragraph, you will start by explaining better, all the elements of the class, what was discussed and what equipment was used. You should also show all the activities done in the laboratory in the most detailed way possible. This paragraph can be divided into more than one paragraph, if you have a lot of information to tell.

Finally, you should end the report with a conclusion, showing what you have learned from this experience.

Alja [10]

Answer: The reproductive capacity of the star fish is asexual.

Explanation: The starfish is known to reproduce another of its kind by fragmenting. It is by breaking a part of its one or more arms. The broken fragment grows to be individual starfish. And if you are wondering the broken arm of the parent starfish, well it regrows.
