1 answer:

5 0

As you go up in an ecosystem the bigger animals have less energy. While the organisms down at the bottom like plants that create their own energy have greater amounts. This is because energy is rated doing everyday things. As energy travels up the food pyramid, it looses more and more energy. This is knower as the 10% rule. In which every time you go up 10% of energy is lost.

The outcome of this error would be that the gradient of the proton in the thykaloid space would not be able to be used to produce ATP. This is because the ATP synthase was inserted in a backward position to the membrane which would cause for protons to the build up in the thykaloid space.

Answer:

D. In an ocean heated by volcanic activity

Explanation:

Most of Earth was covered in water, early organisms weren't evolved enough to walk on land at the time. There are some organisms that feed off of volcanic activity and use it as an energy resource and would adapt to the heat.

"Hot spots create volcanoes on the seafloor. If these volcanoes rise above sea level to become islands, and if they occur in tropical waters, coral reefs will form on them. Since the volcanoes are cones, the reef forms in a circle around the volcano."

"Discovered only in 1977, hydrothermal vents are home to dozens of previously unknown species. Huge red-tipped tube worms, ghostly fish, strange shrimp with eyes on their backs and other unique species thrive in these extreme deep ocean ecosystems found near undersea volcanic chains."
