This question is incomplete as the specific food chain is not provided. In general, a food chain will have a primary producer at the base of the chain. This is an organism that is able to utilise a form of energy to convert carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to a carbohydrate. For terrestrial food chains, these are typically plants, who by utilising the energy from the sun, are able to convert carbon dioxide to carbohydrates. The subsequent level in the food chain may be a primary consumer, typically herbivores, that consume plant matter. Subsequent links in the chain would typically be secondary consumers, who would be carnivores, omnivores or decomposers. Carnivores would typically be predators and would be at the apex of the food chain. Energy is lost from one link to the subsequent link in the food chain, through basic respiration and inefficient energy transfer from one link to another. This explains why more resources (land, water and air) are required to grow meat rather than plant matter. More of the sun's energy is available within the lower trophic levels in a food chain, before much of it is lost as energy moves up the food chain. An easy example to illustrate this is that much of the livestock raised in the USA is fed grain. If people rather ate the grain than the livestock, they could obtain all their required energy from a smaller amount of grain then would be needed to raise the meat they require.

Answer:
When the rule of 70 applies to population, dividing 70 by the percentage of population growth should equal the time (in years) that the population needs to be double (option A)
Explanation:
The rule of 70 is useful to calculate the time in which a variable of any type can be duplicated. The calculation is done by dividing the number 70 by the percentage of growth of the variable.
<u>If the rule of 70 is applied to the population, it is possible to calculate, based on its growth rate, the time that population would need to double</u>.
If, for example, the growth rate of a population is 3 percent:
70 / 3 = 23,33
This indicates that a population, with a growth rate of 3% would need about 23,33 years to double.
Answer:
- The independent variable is the concentration of sucralose present in the plant.
- The dependent variable is the growth rate of the plant.
Explanation:
The study designed through the steps of the scientific method would be done as follows:
Observation: Sucrose is a very important molecule for the development and growth of plants, based on which sucralose, which is formed from sucrose, can be important for the same factors.
Question: Can sucralose influence plant growth as well as sucrose?
Hypothesis: Sucralose may establish some influence on plant growth.
Experimentation: Select a number of seeds inoculated with sucralose molecules and select the same number of seeds that were not inoculated with anything. Provide the same type of soil and environmental factors so that seeds can grow in the same way. Weekly evaluate the growth of the plants generated by each seed for a certain period of time. After this period of time, measure the weight of the plants and their roots. Place the plant and root to dry in an oven and measure the weight of the plant and root once again.
Analysis of results: compare the average weekly growth of plants generated by inoculated seeds, with plants generated from uninoculated seeds. Compare the average weight of plants generated by seed inoculated before and after kiln-dried. Compare the weight average between plant roots generated by inoculated seeds before and after kiln-dried. Assess whether there was a significant difference between the means.
Conclusion: Using the data presented in the evaluation of the experiment, state whether the hypothesis developed provides true or false information.
<u><em>Note: it is important that the seeds are from the same species of plant.</em></u>
