The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

A. bioremediation

B. mutualism

C. quorum sensing

D. quorum settling

E. mass-settling

Answer:

C. quorum sensing

Explanation:

Quorum sensing is the gene regulation mechanism used by the bacteria to communicate with the other bacteria.  The quorum sensing process depends on the number of bacterial cells or the density of the cells.

When the bacterial number increase in number then the bacterial cells send the signal to the nearby cells and and regulates the expression of the gene.  In the given question, the same chemical signal process depends on the density of the cell and thus quorum sensing is correct.

Producers use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis
Alchen [17]

Answer:

Photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Plants are autotrophs, which means they produce their own food. They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen, and simple sugars that the plant uses as fuel. These primary producers form the base of an ecosystem and fuel the next trophic levels

Can affect an organism by changing its physical characteristics (or phenotype) or it can impact the way DNA codes the genetic information (genotype). they can cause termination (death) of an organism or they can be partially lethal.

The amount of available energy changes between the trophic levels found in a food chain or energy pyramid. Photos (left to right
Aliun [14]

Answer;

A. leaf to mouse

Explanation;

-Considering the fact that the amount of energy at each trophic level reduces as it moves through an ecosystem from the lowest trophic level which happens to be producers (plants).  And about 10 percent of this  energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level since the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

-It means that the lower the trophic level the higher the energy obtained, for instance from producers to primary consumers, more energy is passed since it is the first passage of energy.
