<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

Which is a correct interpretation of the cladogram shown below?

nataly862011 [7]

A cladogram is an image or a diagram that shows us an evolutionary relationship between different organisms. Up at the top we find the different organisms and their names. Along the side is where we find their characteristics. Anything that is past each characteristic will have that characteristic as you move up the cladogram. This diagram also shows which organisms are most closely related to one another.

Please see the image for an example. In this example we can see that the Koalas evolved after the trout.

I hope this helps, Regards.
