y different food chains of various species displayed in 5 categories. Primary Producers: phytoplankton, S A V, vegetation. Herbivores: zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, herbivorous ducks, geese and mute swans. Primary consumers: small planktivorous fish, bivalves. Secondary consumers: gulls and terns, wading birds, large piscivorous fish, sea ducks, tundra swan. Tertiary consumers: osprey, bald eagle. food chain trophic chain food web energy web

Answer A)

As the diagram shows, there are five trophic levels which can be seen in this food web. The first trophic level is the organisms which are able to produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. These include organisms like phytoplankton, S A V, vegetation. The second trophic level is that of the herbivores which includes  zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, herbivorous ducks, geese and mute swans. The third trophic level is the primary consumes which includes small planktivorous fish, bivalves. The fourth trophic level is the secondary consumers which includes gulls and terns, wading birds, large piscivorous fish, sea ducks, tundra swan. The fifth torphic level is that of the tertiary consumers which includes osprey, bald eagle.

Answer B)

Produces are organism which can make their own food.<em> An example of producers in this question is phytoplankton.</em>

Herbivores are organism which only feed on the primary producers.<em> An example of herbivores in the given question is  herbivorous ducks.</em>

Carnivores can be described as organisms which feed on other animals. <em>An example of carnivores in the given question is bald eagle.</em>

Answer C)

As energy moves up the trophic levels in a food chain or food web, it reduces abundantly. This is because most of the energy is lost at each trophic level in the form of heat. Only 10% of energy is recorded to be transferred from one trophic level to another. The rest is lost mainly in the form of heat to the environment.

Answer No D)

1) Carbon moves from the plants to the animals which eat them.

2) The carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by animals is taken by the plants for the process of photosynthesis.

3) When animals die, the carbon compounds present in them gets decomposed in the soil. These carbon compounds are taken in by the plants from the soil as nutrients.

the diagram below represents levels of glucose and insulin found within the bloodstream of a healthy person
Makovka662 [10]
The increase in insulin level following an increase in glucose level in the blood can best be explained by A FEED BACK MECHANISM THAT REGULATE THE BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVEL.
Insulin is an hormone that is secreted by the pancreas and it functions by regulating the amount of glucose that is found in the blood. When the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal, insulin interfere by converting the excess glucose into glycogen. The glycogen is stored in the liver and in the skeletal muscles and they will only be converted back into glucose, if the level of glucose in the blood is lower than normal.

Plant cells can better tolerate exposure to hypotonic solutions than can animal cells. Which one of the following helps to best
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

b. The rigid cell walls limit how far plant cells can expand and exert a back pressure to limit further water uptake.

Explanation:

Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose. Animal cells lack a cell wall.  

When the plant cells are placed in a hypotonic solution, water enters into the cells and the cells expand. However, after a certain limit, the cell wall exerts wall pressure on the contents of the cell and does not allow it to take more water in. The wall pressure from the cell wall of plant cells protects them against bursting when placed in a hypotonic solution.

Animal cells burst out due to intake of water by osmosis when placed in a hypotonic solution. They do not have a cell wall to protect them from bursting.
