Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.

Answer:

By researching, I would think that the answer is D. Ice crystals melt as they fall through a warm layer of air and then refreeze into small ice pellets as they pass through a colder layer of air.

Explanation:

During precipitation formation, if temperatures are at or below freezing, 0°C (32°F), at cloud level, water in the air freezes into ice crystals, and the crystals stick together to make snow. The snow starts to fall, and if the air column is freezing cold all the way down from the clouds to the ground, the precipitation stays frozen. It simply falls as snow.

Sometimes, however, a temperature inversion occurs. Normally, the temperature decreases with increasing altitude. A temperature inversion is when a layer of warm air intrudes between the ground and the clouds.

Under these conditions, when the falling snow reaches the layer of warm air, it melts. Then it hits the layer of cold air just above Earth’s surface and refreezes. This all happens very fast, and the result is tiny ice pellets called sleet.

Answer: Liver

Explanation:

The hepatic portal system of liver connects the capillaries of the gastrointestinal tract to the liver. The nutrient rich blood from the gastrointestinal tract reaches the liver.

The blood that is returned back to the heart is first bought to liver and then it is returned back to the heart.

From the liver after processing the blood goes into heart for further processing.

Hence, the correct answer is option d
