In an ecosystem, the energy is transferred between the organisms participating in the food webs from producers and consumers.

The percentage of energy transferred to the deer after feeding on the grass is 10%.

The 10% law of the energy states that:

1. The food chain at each trophic level passes or transmits only 10% of the energy and 90% of the energy is lost as heat.

2. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases, such that the producers if consuming the 100 J of energy, the deers or primary consumers at the first trophic level will have only 10% of the energy.

Thus, the deer will possess only 10% of the energy at each trophic level, following the 10% law.

The correct answer is Option C.

To know more about 10% law, refer to the following link:

How would you classify corals' role in its community (keystone, dominant, foundation, pioneer, Indicator, or more than one) and
kogti [31]

Answer: Keystone species

Explanation: A keystone species is a species which occupied a niche so central in the ecosystem that it has a disproportionately large effect on its environment and other species in it.

The coral's function in its ecosystem is so vital that if you were to remove it, the entire community would be drastically altered beyond recognition.

The coral serves as the base structure of its ecosystem.

That is to say that many corals are hermatypic(they form reefs). This reef serves as the environmental structure of the Coral's ecosystem. Built in and around it is a very biodiverse biotic environment. The coral not only serves as a hiding place and habitat for many marine organisms including fish, clams, lobsters, etc. It serves as resting place for larger animals like turtles and also serves as hunting sites for other animal species.

The most common way of determining a keystone species, is to see what happens when that species is removed from the ecosystem. Coral have shown to be so central to their ecosystem that the bleaching of coral reefs due to tourism and climate change causes a massive loss to biodiversity. And this is quite significant as reefs are the most biodiverse marine habitats.

When recombinant DNA is inserted into the genome of a host organism, what's created? A. A genetic marker B. A restriction enzyme
PIT_PIT [208]

The answer is C.

Transgenic means that one or more DNA sequences from another species has been introduced by artificial means. For example, animals usually are made transgenic by having a small sequence of DNA injected into a fertilized egg or developing  embryo. Transgenic plants can be made by introducing foreign DNA into a variety of different tissues.

Most transgenic organisms are generated in the laboratory for research purposes. Others have been developed for commercial purposes  such as golden rice that has been modified to produce beta-carotene, the precursor to vitamin A.
