r subtracting material used for respiration? -Gross Primary productivity
-Biomass
-Net Primary productivity
0r
-Primary productivity
2. Suppose a plant is eaten by a mouse, the mouse is consumed by a snake, and the snake is in turn consumed by a hawk. What could be assumed about the level of available organic matter in the mouse versus the plant?
-There will be less organic matter available.
-There will be more organic matter available.
-Organic matter does not transfer between the plant and the mouse.
0r
-They both have the same amount of organic matter.
3. How does biomass change from lower to higher trophic levels?
-It fluctuates.
-It increases.
-It decreases.
0r
-It stays the same.

5. Why are there less secondary consumers in an ecosystem than producers?
-Around 90% of energy from one trophic level to the next is available.
-There is less land to use for habitat after the producers grow.
-More tertiary consumers will eat secondary consumers over producers.
0r
-There isn’t enough energy available to support more secondary consumers.
Fossils from Australopithecus provide evidence for evolution: It was a developing form between apes and humans. Possessing the duplicated SRGAP2 which raised the length and ability of neurons in the brain, they were the first hominids to carry this certain genes.
The most reason for an organism having lipids in its body is to provide energy to the body. The fat molecules in the lipids can supply more energy gram than carbohydrate molecules. The fat molecules are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) atoms. I hope this will help!! Have a great day.
