Answer:
The organism to have maximum energy would be the algae since ii will be at the lowest level. so the answer is 'B'.
Explanation:
The pyramid of energy shows the flow of energy from one trophic level to other. The lowest trophic level is occupied by the producers. In this case algae acts as the producer. Krill acts as the primary consumer, followed by leopard seal as the secondary consumer and finally killer whale as the tertiary consumer. The <em>lowest trophic level </em> contains maximum energy.
As we go upwards, only 10% of the energy gets transferred to the next trophic level.

Answer:
A. Evolution
Explanation:
Natural processes like speciation create variation in species, making them have biodiversity and a diverse gene pool.
Gradualism also allows for species to change gradually over time.
Both of these processes allow for evolution to occur, as speciation can create more favorable traits that will be passed down with the process of gradualism.
So, the correct answer is A, evolution.
Answer and Explanation
Mendel selected a group of dwarf plants and sel pollinated them by dusting mature pollen grains onto them. He then collected the resulting seeds and planted them and noticed these seeds germinated and grew into dwarf plants only.
He also selected tall plants and self-pollinated them. the resulting seeds he observed that they grew into a micture of tall and dwarf plants. He took the seeds of tall plants only and repeated the experiments for many generations until he obtained only tall plants.
He then crossed cross-pollinated purebreeds tall garden pea with pure breed variety. He planted the seeds and observed the offsprings were all tall plants. He crossed two of these tall offsprinf from the F1 and planted the resulting seeds. the second filial generation consisted of a mixture of tall and dwarf plants.
He counted these plants and noted that the ratio of tall to dwarf was about 3:1. From this, he postulated that there are now laws governing inheritance.The law of independent assortment and law of segregation.
Answer:
Explanation:
A convergent boundary (also known as a destructive boundary) is an area on Earth where two or more lithospheric plates collide. One plate eventually slides beneath the other, a process known as subduction. The subduction zone can be defined by a plane where many earthquakes occur, called the Wadati–Benioff zone.[1] These collisions happen on scales of millions to tens of millions of years and can lead to volcanism, earthquakes, orogenesis, destruction of lithosphere, and deformation. Convergent boundaries occur between oceanic-oceanic lithosphere, oceanic-continental lithosphere, and continental-continental lithosphere. The geologic features related to convergent boundaries vary depending on crust types.
Plate tectonics is driven by convection cells in the mantle. Convection cells are the result of heat generated by radioactive decay of elements in the mantle escaping to the surface and the return of cool materials from the surface to the mantle.[2] These convection cells bring hot mantle material to the surface along spreading centers creating new crust. As this new crust is pushed away from the spreading center by the formation of newer crust, it cools, thins, and becomes denser. Subduction begins when this dense crust converges with less dense crust. The force of gravity helps drive the subducting slab into the mantle.[3] As the relatively cool subducting slab sinks deeper into the mantle, it is heated, causing hydrous minerals to break down. This releases water into the hotter asthenosphere, which leads to partial melting of asthenosphere and volcanism. Both dehydration and partial melting occurs along the 1,000 °C (1,830 °F) isotherm, generally at depths of 65 to 130 km (40 to 81 mi).[4][5]
Some lithospheric plates consist of both continental and oceanic lithosphere. In some instances, initial convergence with another plate will destroy oceanic lithosphere, leading to convergence of two continental plates. Neither continental plate will subduct. It is likely that the plate may break along the boundary of continental and oceanic crust. Seismic tomography reveals pieces of lithosphere that have broken off during convergence
