From the following list, take the producers and write them in the blank space on the lowest level. acorns deer mice apple trees
tekilochka [14]
Producers are: acorns, apple trees, cabbage, carrots, potatoes, grains, grass, corn and lettuce

 consumers are: owls, frogs, rabbits, chickens, squirrels, cows and worms

predators are: eagles and wolves

yes there were more producers than consumers and consumers than predators. 

If the grain was no longer available for the mouse to eat, the mouse would not survive, and therefore the predator that relies on eating mice to survive wouldn't survive either. The grain not being available would completely disrupt the ecosystem

Which type of molecule will require energy to cross the cell membrane? Question 3 options: A) carbon dioxide B) Na+ C) nonpolar
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

B) Na+

Explanation: Na+ molecule is polar, oxygen and carbon dioxide are nonpolar molecules. The cell membrane is a <em>phospholipid bilayer</em> made up of lipid molecules with polar and nonpolar ends. Since it is a bilayer, two phospholipid layers are arranged, one on the other in such a way that one faces the back of the other. The non polar ends are away from outside and inside of the cell, while  the polar ends faces towards all the molecules inside and outside the cell.

Since polar-polar molecules repel each other, Na+ can't pass through the cell membrane easily. So it uses the proteins attached the cell membrane inside and outside to transport such molecules by using energy in terms of ATP.
