As when things get eaten some of the energy is lost the predators have to have more than one prey to survive, this means there is only a limited amount to be shared which means less predators
Answer:
(A) -> (D) -> (C) -> (B)
Explanation:
First off, given that the problem requires us to explain how life on Earth may have arisen <u>from terrestrial origins</u>, we can discard sentence (E), as impacts from meteorites would count as extraterrestrial origins.
Then it's just a matter of describing the steps by which simple compounds turned into more and more complex structures, that would in turn lead to the origin of life.
Simple inorganic compounds (such as CO₂, or NH₃) were exposed to energy, because of that they formed simple organic molecules, like carbohydrates or amino acids.
These organic molecules, in turn, would self-assemble into more complex structures, such as proteins.
Lastly, there's the phenomenon of Compartmentalization, where large organic structures became enclosed within a membrane-like structure, separating them from the 'outside' medium and thus creating primitive cells.
The lungs belong to the respiratory.
