Answer:
Amino acids are organic compounds that combine to form proteins. Amino acids and proteins are the building blocks of life. When proteins are digested or broken down, amino acids are left. The human body uses amino acids to make proteins to help the body: Break down food.
Answer:
- Human growth and functioning can be explained by the functioning of the cells.
- Cells are the fundamental units of humans.
- The functioning of the cells in the body determine human health.
Explanation:
The cell is the basic unit of life. Therefore the biochemical activities of the cell at a micro-level will definitely influence overall physiology at the macro level of an organism. For example, the production of Thyroid hormone at the molecular level by the cells in the thyroid glands will influence the metabolisms of all cells in a human being and therefore affect the organism’s overall growth and development.
Species evolve independently possibly due to geographical isolations or behavioural isolations.
Geographical isolation includes the isolation of 2 groups of the same species. Since these 2 groups live in different locations, (e.g. a volcanic eruption resulting in a barrier between one side of an ocean and another side of the ocean), they will have different selection pressures in their different environments as well (e.g. one side of the ocean may have more sunlight and thus more underwater plantations than the other side of the ocean). Natural selection will eliminate those with disadvantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes that only eat plants and nothing else on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with unfavourable alleles, and select for those with advantageous characteristics (e.g. Fishes are able to eat plants and other organic substances as well on the side of the ocean with little plantations) with favourable alleles.
Since the 2 groups have different selection pressures, natural selection will occur in different ways, selecting for and against different types of fishes with different types of alleles. Also, because of the barrier, they are not able to mate with each other, and there are no mixing of genes from one side of the ocean and the other side. They are genetically isolated. As genetic drift occurs over time, their gene pools become different from each other. Thus, they evolve independently.

I am going to assume you meant the "first trophic level" of the ecosystem. The first tropic level of an ecosystem is made up of producers, so the answer is C, Acorns.
Law of conservation of mass states that overall mass can neither be created nor destroyed. It means, that mass in left hand side & right hand side of the reaction would always remains constant
Hope this helps!
