Answer:
Bats are the only mammals that can fly, but vampire bats have an even more interesting distinction—they are the only mammals that feed entirely on blood.
Nocturnal Behavior
These notorious bats sleep during the day in total darkness, suspended upside down from the roofs of caves. They typically gather in colonies of about 100 animals, but sometimes live in groups of 1,000 or more. In one year, a 100-bat colony can drink the blood of 25 cows.
During the darkest part of the night, common vampire bats emerge to hunt. Sleeping cattle and horses are their usual victims, but they have been known to feed on people as well. The bats drink their victim's blood for about 30 minutes. They don't remove enough blood to harm their host, but their bites can cause nasty infections and disease.
Hunting for Blood
Vampire bats strike their victims from the ground. They land near their prey and approach it on all fours. The bats have few teeth because of their liquid diet, but those they have are razor sharp. Each bat has a heat sensor on its nose that points it toward a spot where warm blood is flowing just beneath its victim's skin. After putting the bite on an animal, the vampire bat laps up the flowing blood with its tongue. Its saliva prevents the blood from clotting.
Young vampire bats feed not on blood but on milk. They cling tightly to their mothers, even in flight, and consume nothing but her milk for about three months.
The common vampire bat is found in the tropics of Mexico, Central America, and South America.

DNA has sequences that mRNA finds the pair for (ex. DNA says AGC, RNA says UCG)
with that, they only come in 3 nucleotide increments.
Answer:
The food chain showing seven organisms can be drawn as follows:
Plants → grasshoppers → mice → frog → snakes→ eagles → decomposers
The plants are the primary source of food in a food chain or a food web. The animals which feed on plants will be termed as herbivores or primary consumers like the grasshopper. The organisms feeding on primary consumers will be the secondary consumers like mice.
An energy pyramid for three of the organisms can be shown as follows:
mice (10 kilocalories)
↑
Grasshoppers (100 kilocalories)
↑
Plants ( 1000 kilocalories)
As the energy pyramid shows, only about 10% of the energy travels from one trophic level to another.
