The small invertebrates, because for every trophic level you go up, ten times less energy is transferred.

Answer:

Small invertebrates

Explanation:

Existing photosynthetic organisms (such as aquatic plants) capture about 2% of all solar energy that reaches the planet. They use this energy to produce organic substances through the photosynthesis process, and the energy is stored as chemical potential energy.

When a primary consumer (which in the case of the above question is the Small Invertebrates) feeds on photosynthesizing beings, the potential chemical energy stored in the organic compounds is transferred to him. These consumers then use the organic matter ingested for energy production, which in turn is used to perform some important processes for their survival. By serving as food to another organism (crayfish, in this case), primary consumers transfer this energy to this secondary consumer, but in a smaller and less efficient way.

For this reason, we can say that in the food chain shown in the above question, the organism that feeds at the most efficient level of energy transfer is the small invertebrates.

1. What is cultural control? What are the practices done in this approach? What are the advantages and disadvantages of cultural
timama [110]

1.a.In agriculture cultural control is the practice of modifying the growing environment to reduce the prevalence of unwanted pests. Examples include changing soil pH or fertility levels, irrigation practices, amount of sunlight, temperature, or the use of beneficial animals or insects.

1.b. Cultural control is using the production or utilization methods of a commodity with a concern for insect management. Cultural control practices are usually multipurpose technical procedures that create environments that either avoid high-risk situations for infestations or develop unfavorable conditions for pests.

1.c.Simplicity and low cost are the primary advantages of cultural control tactics, and disadvantages are few as long as these tactics are compatible with a farmer's other management objectives (high yields, mechanization, etc.).
