Which of the following statements is true? Most of the heat energy lost during an energy transfer is absorbed by decomposers. Ab
out 90 percent of the energy in plant is transferred to a primary consumer. In order for an ecosystem to be balanced, the number of consumers must be greater than the number of producers. In a balanced ecosystem, the number of secondary consumers must be fewer than the number of primary consumers.
<span>In a balanced ecosystem, the number of secondary consumers must be fewer than the number of primary consumers.
In a balanced ecosystem, the number of producers is ALWAYS the largest. As the trophic levels increase, the number of organism decrease, so primary consumers are less than producers, secondary consumers are less than primary consumers, and so on.</span>
Scientists are testing substance L to determine how it enters mammalian cells in a culture. The cells maintain a 120 millimolar (mM) intracellular concentration of substance L . The scientists determined the rate of entry of substance L into the cells at various external concentrations of substance L (10 to 100 mM) in culture medium (Table 1).
