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.

An original DNA strand has the following base sequence: TAGGTAACT What base sequence would be produced through transcription
laila [671]
<span>Answer;
</span>AUCCAUUGA<span>
The base sequence that would be produced will be; will be </span>AUCCAUUGA.<span>

Explanation;
Transcription is the process by which RNA are synthesized from DNA molecules, by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
The process takes place in the nucleus of a cell and DNA acts as a primer for the process. 
During the process; the corresponding base pairs are such that; A will correspond to T, while G will correspond to C. However in the RNA the nucleotide base Thyamine is replaced with nucleotide Uracil.</span>

Which statement best compares the amount of fossil fuels formed each year to the amount used each year? The amount of fossil fue
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.

Explanation:

Fossil fuels, which include petroleum, coal, natural gas etc are an example of non-renewable sources of energy. They are termed non-renewable because they are sources that gets exhausted quickly without replenishment.

One of the characteristics of non-renewable sources of energy is that they get exhausted faster than they can be produced. Hence, regarding fossil fuels as an example of non-renewable source of energy, this means that the amount of fossil fuels formed is much less than the amount used.

What is the fate of the products produced from photosynthesis​
otez555 [7]
Photosynthesis produces oxygen and water. Photosynthesis is the result of a cycle. Humans use oxygen for respiration, the product produced from human respiration is carbon dioxide. Then plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air and turn it into oxygen with photosynthesis, this goes on and on as a cycle.
