-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.

-methane
-carbon
0r
-carbon dioxide

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.

Answer 1

Answer:

1C-Biomass 2D There will be less organic matter available. a

Explanation:

Biomass is the material that is eaten by a creature that is eaten by another creature which is eaten by the tetitary creature.

there is less organic matter avaliable once the creature eats and then is eaten

It decreases

ethanol because ethenol is in gasoiline

A cause there is not enough

4. ethanol

5. There isn’t enough energy available to support more secondary consumers.
