Answer:

1. 20 units

2. 4 units

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism occupying a trophic level to another as they feed on one another. The amount of energy that is being transferred as the chain progresses is called ECOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY. According to this question, the ecological efficiency at each trophic level of the ecosystem is 20%. This means that about 20% of energy units will be transferred to the next trophic level.

If the green plants of the ecosystem capture 100 units of energy, the amount of energy that will be available to support herbivores (plant eaters) is: 20% × 100units i.e. 20/100 × 100 = 20 units.

Also, the amount of energy that will be available to support carnivores subsequently will be 20% of 20 units i.e. 20/100 × 20 = 4 units.

Six fingered offspring are formed from normal fingered parents . why?
Alex777 [14]
<span>Polydactyly in its most common form, is an autosomal dominant mutation. Let's represent the mutation as P and the normal state as +. Thus, if both parents are heterozygous (P+), both would have the mutation (and thus have six fingered). They have 3/4 chances of having a child with the extra digit, 1/4 normal. </span>

andrezito [222]

I am pretty sure the answer is increase and increase. Because enzymes are affected by changes in pH. The most favorable pH value - the point where the enzyme is most active - is known as the optimum pH. Extremely high or low pH values generally result in complete loss of activity for most enzymes.
