b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.
Explanation:
In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.
The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.
Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.
Answer:
Crustaceans and Molluscs play an important role in the oceanic carbon sink.
Explanation:
Carbon sinks can serve to partially offset greenhouse gas emissions. Forests and oceans are both large carbon sinks. Algae is pressurized to bottom of the ocean by long term sequestration. Algae then falls to the bottom of the ocean and TRANSFORMS to fossil fuels.
- CO2 is not combustible.
- creates carbonic acid in the oceans.
- Reduces seawater pH, carbonate ion concentration, and thus calcium carbonate (needed for shells for marine creatures, contributes to BOTTOM-UP EFFECT)

Answer:
C. It is driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation.
Explanation:
It has been discovered that eutrophication occurs through a gradual increase in the deposition of phosphorus and nitrogen and other plants nutrients in the water bodies.
This will allow the maximum growth of algae on the surface of the water.
It has been discovered that eutrophication is not good for the water bodies. This is because, the excess growth of algae on the surface of the water will prevent the sunlight from penetrating the water, thereby preventing the plants inside the water from making use of the sunlight to carryout photosynthesis. Also, it will prevent oxygen from entering, thereby depriving the organisms in the water from having the necessary oxygen needed for respiration.
