Consumers are the organisms that depend on others for food and energy for the metabolic process while the producers produce their food at the trophic levels.
The correct options are 1. C, 2. A, 3. A, 4. A and 5. A.
The trophic levels can be explained as:1. In the trophic levels the energy gets decreased as it passes from one level to another because it is used in the cellular process it is released in the form of heat.
2. Secondary and tertiary consumers have to feed a lot and hence, they are fewer in number compared to the producers. They maintain the population and balance out the producer and consumer ratio.
3. According to the 10 % rule of energy transfer, the Tuna will receive 135 Kcal of energy because the energy decrease by 10% as one moves from the lower trophic to the upper levels.
4. The species that are non-native to a place or region are called invasive species hence, the Kudzu plant is the invasive species as it is introduced from Japan.
5. Given,
Energy of Seal = 2,500 Kcal
The energy of polar bear = 375 Kcal
The 10% of 2500 will be 250 and the 5 % 125 thus, 15% is the efficiency.
Therefore, the correct options are 1. C, 2. A, 3. A, 4. A and 5. A.

What conditions make for a violent volcanic eruption?
OA. Magma with low gas content
OB. Magma with low viscosity
OC. Magma with high silica content
OD. Magma that can flow easily
Answer: B
Explanation:
Magma with low viscosity
Magma that has high content of silica will lead to a violent volcanic eruption. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
What kind of magma results in violent volcanic eruption?Magma that has a high content of silica will have high viscosity. This is due to the bond formation between silicon and oxygen, forming a Si-O tetrahedron.
These tetrahedra combine with each other and result in polymerization which increases the resistance of the liquid to flow. This type of thick magma does not flow easily and will result in an explosive eruption.
High amount of silica causes a lot of gas to be trapped in the volcano. High-viscosity magma does not allow for the exsolution of gas bubbles.
Thus, the gas bubbles will be trapped inside and increase pressure on the magma column to explode. The trapped gas thus provides the driving force for the explosion.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.

6 How can you determine the origin of the oxygen released by photosynthesis?
Answer:
because all green plants release oxygen and non- green plants do not release oxygen.
Explanation: One of the first uses of an isotopic tracer in biology was in the determination of the source of the oxygen produced by photosynthesis. Using a heavy isotope of oxygen, 18O, to label one of the two reactants in the photosynthetic process, Samuel Ruben and collegues at UC Berkeley were able to determine that the oxygen gas came not from carbon dioxide, but water.
In pea plants, tall (T) is dominant to short (t). A plant with genotype Tt is crossed with a plant with type tt. What percentage of their offspring will be tall?
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
Draw a Punnet square to determine the percentage of offspring that are tall.
The green and blue highlighted columns and rows represents the genotype of the parents. To fill in the genotype of the offspring, write down the letter (T/t) of the parent allele from that row and column the offspring belongs to. By convention, the T is written before t. (The genotype of a tall offspring is written as Tt not tT)
Since the T allele is dominant, as long as the offspring has one T, the offspring is tall. The t allele is recessive, thus two ts (tt) is needed for the short trait to be expressed.
From the Punnet square, the result is 2 offsprings that are tall and 2 offsprings that are short.
Required percentage
[tex] = \frac{2}{4} \times 100\% \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 100\% \\ = 50\%[/tex]

16. Control group: Subject A
17. Independent (manipulated) variable: Type of powder
18. Dependent variable: Itching time
19. Explain whether the data supports the advertisement´s claims about its product. Yes, it does.
Explanation:
Control group: The control group is used to identify if there are any other factors influencing the results obtained by the treatment in the study (in this case, the new product), from the results that might be a consequence of other factors. The control group must be selected from the same population as the treatment group. Data from an experimental group are compared with the data from a control group. These two groups are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals.The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable. There can be several experimental groups. In this case, the experimental group is subject B.
Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified in the experiment to analyze how another variable responds to it. It changes to analyze its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter. In the exposed example, the type of powder is the independent variable. Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually identified by the letter Y. In the exposed example, inching time is the dependent variable, that depends on the type of powder used. The data does support the advertisement´s claims about its product. The effect of the new product lasts 50% more than the original product. The old powder produced itching for 30 minutes, while the new product produced itching for 45min (15 more minutes, 50% more).In the mainlands of Southeast Asia

describe the water cycle process starting from an afternoon thunderstorm.
Answer:
Most thunderstorms form by a cycle that has three stages: the cumulus stage, mature stage, and dissipating stage.
Cumulus Stage
The sun heats the Earth's surface during the day. The heat on the surface and warms the air around it. Since warm air is lighter than cool air, it starts to rise (known as an updraft). If the air is moist, then the warm air condenses into a cumulus cloud. The cloud will continue to grow as long as warm air below it continues to rise.
Mature Stage
When the cumulus cloud becomes very large, the water in it becomes large and heavy. Raindrops start to fall through the cloud when the rising air can no longer hold them up. Meanwhile, cool dry air starts to enter the cloud. Because cool air is heavier than warm air, it starts to descend in the cloud (known as a downdraft). The downdraft pulls the heavy water downward, making rain.
This cloud has become a cumulonimbus cloud because it has an updraft, a downdraft, and rain. Thunder and lightning start to occur, as well as heavy rain. The cumulonimbus is now a thunderstorm cell.
Dissipating Stage
After about 30 minutes, the thunderstorm begins to dissipate. This occurs when the downdrafts in the cloud begins to dominate over the updraft. Since warm moist air can no longer rise, cloud droplets can no longer form. The storm dies out with light rain as the cloud disappears from bottom to top.
The whole process takes about one hour for an ordinary thunderstorm. Supercell thunderstorms are much larger, more powerful, and last for several hours.

translucent salamander about 2-5 cm in length. E. nana is found only in
Spring Lake and a portion of the San Marcos River.
Which human activity would most likely decrease the ability of the
salamanders to survive?
The addition of a new food source into the river that limits competition for
resources
Tourism that helps fund the educational programs related to river ecosystem
conservation
Public transportation that reduces the number of automobiles that contribute to
pollution runoff into the river
Increasing water consumption that decreases the flow of clean water from the
springs that feed the river
Answer:
Increasing water consumption that decreases the flow of clean water from the springs that feed the river
Explanation:
In this question we are required to state the human activity that may likely cause the reduction in the survival rate of the salamander.
the first three options in the question are not the answer to this question. this is because options 1,2,3 would have positive impacts on the Salamander. these positive impacts would increase the ability of the salamander to survive and not decrease it as the question says.
the correct answer is the last option. that is the 4th option. because it has to do with decreasing the amount of water that flows in to the Salamanders habitat by human activities. if humans increase water consumption, then the flow of clean water would reduce. This would then have a negative effect on the Salamander.

Weak hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous base pairs hold the two strands of DNA together. Why are the strands held together by weak hydrogen bonds instead of covalent bonds
Answer:
Explanation:
Hydrogen bonding is usually occur wen interaction with hydrogen atoms occur.
Hydrogen bonds joins DNA polymers because an hydrogen atom occur on on one base which is called hydrogen bond donors and another oxygen or nitrogen atoms on the base across from it which is called hydrogen bond acceptors.
Adenine “A” a purine and Thymine “T” a pyrimidine each have a donor and one acceptor, whereas Cytosine “C” a pyrimidine has one donor and two acceptors, and Guanine “G” a purine has one acceptor and two donors.
This atoms allows for hydrogen bond between them that gives them structure of DNA molecule.
A nucleotides is hydrogen bonded to T nucleotides while C nucleotides is hydrogen bonded to G nucleotide this is called complementary base pairing.
