The available energy decreases as one moves upward in an energy pyramid.
<h3>Energy pyramid</h3>
The energy pyramid represents a model of how energy is transferred from one trophic level to another in ecosystems.
Energy is transferred from producers to primary consumers, from primary to secondary consumers, from secondary to tertiary consumers, and so on.
Only about 10% of the available energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next with the remaining 90% being lost as heat to the environment.
Thus, as one moves up the energy pyramid, the available energy decreases. This is why organisms at the higher end of the energy pyramid have to devise an efficient way of extracting energy from their foods.

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
It is known that metals are the species which readily lose an electron and tend to attain a positive charge.
For example, atomic number of sodium is 11 and its is an alkali metal. It electronic distribution is 2, 8, 1.
And, in order to attain stability it readily loses an electron and thus it become
ion.
Also, it is known that species which tend to transfer or donate their valence electrons to other atoms tend to form ionic bond and the compound formed is known as ionic compound.
Therefore, we can conclude that the statement metal atoms held together by ionic bonds best describes a metal solid.
First, you need to count copper mass in alloy.
Second, you have to make an equation an find x ( the copper mass must be added). The answer is: 13,5g pure copper

Answer is (3) - ratio of neutrons to protons.
Isotopes are the atoms which have same atomic number but have different number of neutrons of same element.
Atomic nucleus can be stable or unstable. The stability of isotopes is based on neutron/ proton ratio. Unstable nucleus tries to become stable by emitting radiations.
