Answer: Option B
Explanation:
In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.
The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.
10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.
So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.
Answer:
Some individuals have genes that increase their chances for survival and reproduction. These individuals are more likely to reproduce and pass on their genes, causing their genes to become more common in the next generation.
Explanation:
The basic idea of natural selection is that environmental conditions determine how well the characteristics of organisms contribute to the survival and reproduction of the organism; organisms that do not have these traits may die before reproduction or be less fertile. As long as environmental conditions remain the same or close enough for these traits to remain adaptive, these traits will become more common in populations. The loss of an ecological niche of a species or overcrowding as a result of an increase in abundance can significantly alter the adaptive characteristics required for survival. In this case, and also in any environment where survival is determined more by ecology than secondary sex characteristics, ecological choice takes place.
