Answer;

A. leaf to mouse

Explanation;

-Considering the fact that the amount of energy at each trophic level reduces as it moves through an ecosystem from the lowest trophic level which happens to be producers (plants).  And about 10 percent of this  energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level since the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

-It means that the lower the trophic level the higher the energy obtained, for instance from producers to primary consumers, more energy is passed since it is the first passage of energy.

The correct answer is option a, that is, leaf to mouse.  

In a food pyramid, the species at the lower level of the food chain directly obtain their energy from the Sun and are considered as the primary producers. This level mainly comprises the plants. The species that are on the next levels are the secondary and tertiary consumers respectively. The level of the energy conversion is the greatest at the lowest trophic level and as one moves up the level of energy conversion gets lower.  

In the given choices, there is a need to determine which of the changes are at the lowest trophic levels. Of these, the option leaf to the mouse is at the lowest level since plant or leaf is a primary producer, and hence, the level of the energy conversion is the greatest in comparison to the other options.

Do you think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of either embryophytes or green algae? Why or why not?
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

i think true water-conducting tissue is a derived character of green algae?

Explanation:

WHY?

Many characteristics of land plants also appear in algae like both are multi cellular, euks, photosynthetic autotrophs so are brown, red, and certain green algae, plants have cell walls made of cellulose and so do green algae

However, charophytes are the only present day algae that share these traits with land plants

1.Rings of cellulose-synthesizing proteins (circular rings of proteins in plasma membrane that make cellulose of cell wall)

2.Structure of flagellated sperm

3.Formation of a phragmoplast ( group of microtubules known as phragmoplast formes b/t daughter nuclei of a dividing cell, giving rise to a cell plate making cross wall that separates the daughter cells)

Comparisons of both nuclear and chloroplast genes point to charophytes as the closest living relatives of land plants

Land plants are not descended from modern charophytes, but share a common ancestor with modern charophytes

WHY NOT?

The origin of embryophytes, as these multicellular plants arose and conquered the land, was a pivotal event in the history of life on earth. Without embryophytes, there would be no animals or humans surviving on the land portion of our planet. The provide food, habitat, energy, oxygen, protection, and numerous vital other functions for the world's creatures. Human beings also benefit from the aesthetic beauty, medicines, and innumerable products derived from these diverse plants.
