Answer:

B. A carnivore eats both a rabbit and a mouse in a food web.

Explanation:

Food chains are the feeding relationships that exist between living things in an ecosystem. Through food chain analysis, it is possible to observe how nutrients and energy flow among living beings living in that region. Unlike a food web, the chain has a unidirectional flow. Here's an example:

Plant → Butterfly → Frog → Snake

The food web better represents the feeding relationships that exist in an ecosystem. It can be defined in a simplified way as the various food chains of an ecosystem. Thus, the web does not have a unidirectional flow, like the food chain, because it shows that the same organism can have different eating habits and, consequently, occupy different trophic levels.

Why is the mesosphere colder than the thermosphere, even though it's closer to earth?

kykrilka [37]

Answer:

Mesosphere lies in between 50 to 80 km above the earth surface and due to low density gases escape easily and hence it is colder.

Explanation:

Mesosphere has the capacity to not absorb the infrared radiation that's why the gases reflected from the earth surface escape the layer of mesopause and goes inside the thermosphere.

In the thermosphere, even the minute atoms of gases ca be absorbed by the layer which increases the air temperature and the air rises up hence making thermosphere as the hottest layer in the atmosphere.
