Answer:

b. Yes, the average efficiency is 10%

Explanation:

The average efficiency at each trophic level is 10% because there is about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. In some trophic levels the efficiency of organisms is 20% but in most of the trophic level has 10% efficiency so that's why the average efficiency is 10%. Yes, this ecosystem  obeys the Lindeman's Law for ecological efficiency due to its 10% of ecological efficiency.

The hydrolysis of atp on the na+/ k+ pump results in
Shalnov [3]
I believe it results to a conformation change that moves the Na+ binding site to the inside of the cell. ATP hydrolysis involves the release of chemical energy that has been stored in the high-energy phosphoanhydride bonds in adenosine triphosphate.For example in muscles. The process of moving sodium and potassium ions across the cell membrane is an active transport process involving the hydrolysis of ATP to provide the necessary energy. It involves an enzyme referred to as Na+/K+ ATPase.
