A panther because it eats the primary consumer which would be the deer.
an oak tree is the producer (bottom of the food chain)
the deer is the primary consumer because it eats grass which would also be a producer
and the hawk would be the top predator because it eats a snake which would eat a mouse which would feed on a producer :)
The correct answer is B: The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.
Diploid cell have two of each chromosome, one from each parent. When diploid cell undergoes mitosis, the result is two identical diploid cells (when haploid cell undergoes mitosis the result is haploid cell). This means that during the mitosis, cells reproduce genetically identical copies of themselves.
1. The energy left in the Quaternary consumer level is 0.06283 kcal.
2. 0.65 units of energy is still available at the tertiary consumer level.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Energy flow in an ecosystem obeys the ten percentage law According to which ten percentage of energy from a trophic level gets transferred to the next trophic level. In the given question plants belong to the trophic level , producers and it transfers 10 percentage of its energy to the primary consumer level.
In the question 1 the energy that the producers have is 628.3 kcal. Ten percentage of this i.e 62.83 kcal gets transferred to the primary consumer level. Ten percent of that which is 6.283 kcal gets transferred to the secondary consumer level. Ten percent of 6.283 kcal i.e 0.6283 kcal energy is transferred to the tertiary consumer level.
Thus the Quaternary consumer level gets ten percentage of 0.6283 kcal i.e 0.06283 kcal. In question B the initial energy at the primary level is 650 units. Ten percentage of 650 i.e 65 units reach the primary consumer level. Ten percentage of this 65 units then reaches the secondary consumer level. Thus the secondary consumer level has ten percent of 65 i.e 6.5 units of energy.
So the energy that reaches the tertiary consumer level is ten percentage of 6.5 i.e 0.65 units.
It is a scientific law
Explanation:
A scientific law states a constant relationship between two or more variables, each of which represents a property or measurement of specific systems. It is a constant and unchanging rule, usually expressed mathematically which allows to predict the unknown based on what is known with logical and real relationships.
A scientific theory is a set of concepts and rules (scientific laws) that express the relationships between observations of such concepts and generates a principle or set of principles to explain a phenomenon.
