Vance is demonstrating conceptual knowledge
Conceptual knowledge is the clear and detailed understanding of principles, concepts, models or theories and the understanding of the linking relationships between them. Conceptual knowledge is acquired by thoughtful, reflective learning, listening, reading, or viewing.

<span>The Answer would be D: Mesquite Shrubs as these are plants that produce their own food (called autotrophs) Plants use solar energy, convert it to chemical energy and these can be taken up by other consumers like the Coyotes, Cactus finch and Beaded lizards. These plants are eaten by primary consumers that are in turn eaten by secondary and tertiary consumers. So from the given list, the Mesquite Shrubs would begin the flow of energy through a desert food web</span>
The viperfish is a heterotroph, not an autotroph due to the fact that it eats to live. Although it is not a common fish, the deep-sea viperfish population is seemingly stable. It is on neither the endangered nor the threatened species list.
