Answer: because every time something eats something 10% of the energy is passed on so it starts as 100% with plants photosynthesizing then the herbivore gets 10% of that energy. The carnivore that eats the herbivore gets 10% of the herbivore’s energy so by the time it gets to the top of the pyramid there is less and less energy to consume.
Answer:
<u>d</u>
Explanation:
Water enters the atmosphere by :
⇒ liquid water evaporates from lakes when heated by the Sun
⇒ frozen water sublimates from ice and snow
⇒ liquid water is lost from tree leaves during evapotranspiration
Answer:
D. dehydration synthesis
Explanation:
Dehydration means removing water, and synthesis means building or creating something. Therefore, the synthesis of dehydration is defined as removing water to build something. This process occurs by removing a molecule of -OH (hydroxyl group) and a molecule of -H to form H2O or water. This results in the covalent bonding of two monomers (small molecules) to form a polymer (larger molecule).
Dehydration synthesis uses condensation in the process and when this continues for a long period of time, a long and complex chain is formed, such as those of disaccharide or polysaccharides. It is also responsible for storing excess glucose molecules as well as larger polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen.
