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.

Answer:

  the very long river

Explanation:

Larger rocks tend to settle out of the water flow sooner than smaller rocks do, so the rocks remaining at the end of a very long river would tend to be very small. A very short river may still be carrying somewhat larger rocks.

The very long river probably drops the smallest rock pieces near the ocean.

_____

Perhaps the implied assumption here is that a very short river will have a higher gradient than a very long river. Another assumption is that rocks are picked up nearer the headwaters, and the gradient decreases with distance.

If both rivers end at a waterfall into the ocean, they may very well carry the same sort of rock size distribution. If the short river traverses muddy terrain, and the longer river traverses rocky terrain, the answer may be reversed.

During the Industrial Revolution, explain what caused the population of light-colored peppered moths to decrease and the populat
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The light colored pepper moths were able to camouflage in the Birchwood trees unlike the darker ones. But when the industrial revolution came the amount of smoke from the factories made the Birchwood trees become darker in color do now the darker pepper moths were the ones who could camouflage while the white ones were easily eaten and killed. Since the darker colored moths were able to survive they had offspring who were also darker colored. Over time since mainly darker moths were produced it was common for pepper moths to be darker.
