Answer:

Explanation:

The number of organisms near the top of the energy pyramid is usually small, because most of the energy produced is lost due to factors such as exercise and heat. This energy loss occurs multiple times when passing through the pyramid, forcing consumers near the top to require more food. This creates a pyramid with the third consumer at the top and the producer at the bottom.

BRAINLIESTTT ASAP!

If from the low tide to the high tide there was a break of 6h and 4m than the next tides will happen at the same rate:

8:35 + 6:04 = 14:39 = next low tide.
14:39 + 6:04 = 20:43 = next high tide.

Note that two same tides occur about 12h to 12h and 25m apart, and that is the case here:

14:39 - 2:31 = 12:08 hours apart
20:42 - 8:35 = 12:07 hours apart.

Hope it helped,

Happy homework/ study/ exam!
