Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.

The cholodny-went hypothesis has been proposed to explain how plants bend toward a directional light source. What does this hypo
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The cholodny-went model was proposed in 1927. This model explains the capability of the shoots to grow in the direction of the sunlight whereas the capability of the roots to grow downwards. The hypothesis suggested that both these directional growth occurred due to the asymmetrical distribution of the plant hormone, auxin. This model has been modified a number of times by other scientists but its general concept is accepted by most of the researchers.
