Answer:
True.
Explanation:
Pyramid of energy is also referred to as food pyramid and it's a model used to depict the flow of energy from one trophic level or feeding level to the next in an ecosystem. It's a diagram that compares the energy used by organisms at each trophic level of the food chain. The pyramid of energy must never be inverted or turned upside down.
The units used in the construction of pyramids of energy is kilocalories (kcal) or energy per area per time (Jm-²year-¹).
A list of the types of organisms in an eco pyramid are;
I. Producers: these are autotrophs or self-feeders such as plants.
II. Primary (top) consumers: these are herbivores that typically feed on plants such as a goat or deer.
III. Secondary consumers: these consists of carnivores that typically feed or eat flesh such as lion, tiger, cheetah, etc.
IV. Tertiary consumers: these are higher predators such as humans that aren't normally fed on by other organisms in the ecosystem.
In Biology, producers are the living organisms that are capable of manufacturing their own food and as such can provide energy or food for the other living organisms (consumers) in a food web. Thus, producers are mainly known as the foundation of a food web (chain) and are at the top.
A producer gets energy from the sun and converts it into food. The cells found in producers are capable of converting the energy received directly from the sun into food through a process generally referred to as photosynthesis, converting carbon dioxide from the air, water from the soil, minerals and energy from the sun into organic nutrients.
In lines 140-150, what hasn't changed is that the father still switches off the electricity generator at 10 p.m. and goes to sleep in his study. The expression "as was custom" marks that this has not changed.
The language that shows that the father is changing can be found in lines 141, 173 and 175-176:
In line 141 we learn that he does not use certain rooms ("rooms we'd stopped using").
In line 173 we read that the father "seemed lighter" and chatted with his son.
In lines 175-176 the father says that "now he might be able to come to the end-of-the-year recital" at his child's school.
This is an example of irony:
Nothing is perfect. This was one of Mrs. Hopewell's favorite sayings. Another was: that is life! And still another, the most important, was: well, other people have their opinions too.
From the excerpt above, we see Mrs. Hopewell adding the name to the girl eventhough the girl feel that it's intrusive and she feel that she got to has a say about it. But despite that, Hopewell's favourite saying is other people have their opinions too.
