The answer would be B. The available energy would decrease from the mouse to the hawk. As the trophic level goes up the energy decreases because some of the energy is lost in the form of heat for every energy transfer. This energy being lost cannot be used by the organisms on the next level.
A hypothesis is when you make an educated guess before you complete the experiment. It is basically an inference on what might happen next. So a conclusion made based on facts.
<u>Answer:</u>
<em>Reduction of sulfur compounds and the release of hydrogen sulfide is happening here.</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
Sulfur is an important element in the sulfur cycle. Sulfur compounds can be found on earth in various forms. They can be found in mineral rocks and organic matter. It is the <em>work of bacteria to reduce sulfur</em> compounds and convert them to sulfides.
There are different types of bacteria that reduce various sulfur containing compounds. They are <em>sulfate-reducing bacteria, sulfur-reducing bacteria, sulfite reducing bacteria etc.</em> In a swamp there is low oxygen availability and organic matter decays in this condition.
<em>The sulfate reducing bacteria oxidizes the organic matter and releases Hydrogen sulfide.</em>
