Answer:

As we know 10% law is transfer of energy from higher trophic level to lower trophic level. So as the energy are transfer from one organism to another there is a loss of energy as that energy are utilised by the oragnism and only 10% of the total energy is transferred to the second consumer.

Explanation:

Quetinary consumer are at the higher position in the food chain so they do not get enough energy from prey they have to feed on several organism for the enegy. And also they are at the top of the food chain so they are not eaten by other animal, their life span are also more than primary consumer.

In other hand primary consumer get enough energy but they are prey for other higher tropic level.

Primary and secondary consumer are maintend in such a way by the nature thats make a ecological balance of the habitant.

The technological, economic, philosophical, educational, and governing systems are all included in the indigenous knowledge system.

Prior to the development of the contemporary scientific knowledge system, indigenous societies established their own knowledge, which is included in indigenous knowledge systems (IKS).

Acupuncture from China is an illustration of IKS. Through the preservation and wise use of biodiversity, it may significantly advance sustainable development.

Answer:

Enzyme catalase is affected by high temperatures

Explanation:

Enzymes are organic catalysts which are protein in nature therefore they are sensitive to changes in temperature. Most enzymes have an optimum range of temperature between 35-40°c.

As temperature is increased, the optimum temperature is reached where the rate of reaction is maximum. When beef liver is boiled, hydrogen peroxide is not broken down because higher temperatures denature enzymes making them non effective.
