Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.

Answer:
Medulla oblongata
Explanation:
Medulla oblongata is found at the lower half of the brainstem continuous with the spinal cord. The medulla oblongata controls the center of vomiting, vasomotor centers for regulating heart rate, cardiac, respiratory and blood pressure. Furthermore, Medulla oblongata connects the higher levels of the brain to the spinal cord and also controls autonomic functions.
Answer: The correct answer is D) Some energy in each trophic level is used for life processes.
Food chain represents the flow of energy through various living organisms (which lie at different trophic levels) in an ecosystem. The energy flows from one trophic level to the next and it is decreased with subsequent trophic levels.
As per the law of 10% energy transfer, only 10 % of the energy is transferred from one level to the next as the rest of the energy at every trophic level is utilized in various metabolic processes like respiration, digestion, excretion and also liberated as heat in the surrounding.
Due to this, the energy available at any trophic level is less than the previous trophic level.
Ocean currents can be generated by wind so I believe the answer is B
