Strep throat and bacterial pneumonia are examples of
The correct answer is a. bacterial communicable diseases.
Strep throat is a bacterial infection which has symptoms such as sore and scratchy throat. The causative agent of strep throat is <em>Streptococcus pyogenes </em>and gets spread by contact by the secretions of the respiratory tract of the infected person if the person sneezes or coughs.
The bacterial pneumonia is commonly caused by <em>Streptococcus pneumoniae. </em>The bacterial pneumonia is a community acquired pneumonia. The most common way it is caused when the bacteria aspirates from the oral cavity or by breathing infected air droplets having pneumonia. The bacteria can enter the bloodstream and deposits in the lungs causing pneumonia.

Answer:
The food chain showing seven organisms can be drawn as follows:
Plants → grasshoppers → mice → frog → snakes→ eagles → decomposers
The plants are the primary source of food in a food chain or a food web. The animals which feed on plants will be termed as herbivores or primary consumers like the grasshopper. The organisms feeding on primary consumers will be the secondary consumers like mice.
An energy pyramid for three of the organisms can be shown as follows:
mice (10 kilocalories)
↑
Grasshoppers (100 kilocalories)
↑
Plants ( 1000 kilocalories)
As the energy pyramid shows, only about 10% of the energy travels from one trophic level to another.
