B. A secondary consumer that obtains its energy from the consumption of animals.

The red-tailed hawk is a secondary consumer because it feeds itself on primary consumers (those that eat plants, herbivores). Secondary consumers, by definition, obtain their energy from eating other animals. Secondary consumers are also usually the ones that stand on the second and above rows of a food chain, being the plants at the bottom and the primary consumers just above the plants.

Answer:

Patrick's hypothesis was "If fish eat microwaved food, then they will swim faster through the maze."

The fish that are in the control group are the fish without microwaved food.

The independent variable is the microwaved food.

The dependent variable was the time it took for the fish to swim through the maze.

Patrick's conclusion should be that the special food did not seem to make a large difference in helping the fish become faster, since 8 out of 10 fish were faster in both special food and regular food groups.

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

carrying capacity

Explanation:

The leveling off is an indication of the carrying capacity of the environment.

By definition, the carrying capacity of an environment is the total number of organism of particular species that an environment can support given the resources it has.

When a particular species of organism is introduced into a new environment, it first of all spend some time trying to adjust to this new environment and this time is characterized by little population growth.

After successfully adjusting and getting acclimatized to the new environment, the population of the organism experiences a sharp rise and then levels off as the maximum population size the environment can support based on the resources it has is reached. This jund of population growth is referred to as logistic growth.

The population of the organism fluctuates a little bit around the carrying capacity based on several factors, especially competition for resources.
