Answer: The correct answer is option(A).

Explanation:

Food chain: Predecessor is eaten by the successor in the food chain

For example:Grass→ deer→Loin

Grass is Predecessor and deer is successor

The energy availability decreases as food chains gets longer because the energy gained by the organism from the predecessor of the food chain gets spend in life processes like: respiration, movement etc. And This lead to lost of energy in the form of heat to the surrounding.

Hence,the correct answer is option (A).

When communicating with Apollo astronauts, scientists on Earth use radio waves and the "over to you" method of communication. Th
Dominik [7]

The answer is; D

While electromagnetic waves travel at an astounding 3.00 x 10^8 m/s and any delay seems imperceptible in short distances, in long distances, the waves take some time to reach the other end. This is why there is usually a small delay when ground communication tries to reach astronauts in space.  Also, remember that when a communication is relayed from the earth, it has to reach the destination and then wait for a response back to earth which covers the same distance or longer/shorter if the target is moving.

The distance to the moon is 384,400 km, therefore multiply this by 2 = 768,800 km

768,800,000m/300,000,000m = 2. 56 seconds

Therefore radio waves sent to the moon from earth will have a minimum  2.5  seconds delay not considering the processing time of this communication by the destination before sending feedback.  ‘Over to you’ signals end of a message by the messenger hence allowing the other messenger on the other to respond.

Explanation:

Oxidized chemicals gain electrons. In order to gain these electrons, another chemical must lose electrons. So, the chemical (which will be oxidized) acts as a reducing agent, causing the other chemical to be reduced and lose electrons.
