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.

In the diagram of the human digestive system, what organ is labelled 5?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

The large intestine

Explanation:

The large intestine is a long, tube-like organ connected to both the small intestine and the anus. In an anatomy drawing, it looks almost as if it is wrapped around the small intestine.

As we can see in the drawing, the organ labelled with 5 is wrapped around another organ which is smaller and looks longer. This smaller organ is the <em>small intestine</em>. Since we know that the large intestine <em>wraps around</em> the small intestine, we can infer that the organ is the large intestine.

Hopefully that was helpful! :)

ololo11 [35]
<span>All of the following patterns were witnessed by Darwin except that species vary within very short spans of time. Charles Darwin put forth a coherent theory of evolution and amassed a great body of evidence in support of this theory. By the 19th Century, a number of natural historians were beginning to think of evolutionary change as an explanation for patterns observed in nature.</span>
