Consider the following prairie food chain. Tall grass is consumed by grasshoppers that, in turn, are eaten by mice, and the mice are eaten by prairie kingsnakes. Red-tailed hawks prey on mice and prairie kingsnakes. When a red-tailed hawk dies, bacteria, beetles, fungi, and many types of worms help break down the body. Which of the following correctly identifies a trophic level in this ecosystem? View Available Hint(s) A. The tall grass is a decomposer
B. The red-tailed hawk is a secondary consumer.
C. The worms are primary producers.
D. Grasshoppers are primary consumers.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Grasshoppers are primary consumers.

Explanation:

Autotrophs serve as primary producers in a food chain as they can make organic food by the process of photosynthesis. In the given food chain, tall grass is the primary producer. Grasshoppers derive their nutrition from the tall grass. The organisms that derive nutrition directly from the primary producers are said to be primary consumers. This makes grasshoppers primary consumers.

Mice the secondary consumers as they feed on the grasshoppers, the primary consumers. Red-tailed hawks are the top consumers in the given food chain. The bacteria, beetles, fungi, and worms are the decomposers that derive nutrition from the organic matter present in the dead bodies of the red-tailed hawks.

Two siblings live in a two-story house with a heating and cooling unit for each floor. The two have decided to conduct an experiment to determine the need to turn both units on throughout the daytime during the winter to stay warm. They decided to use both units for two weeks and recorded their observations. The following two weeks, they only used the downstairs unit and recorded their observations.



Every day they charted whether upstairs and downstairs were either too cold, cold, warm, too warm, or hot. They tallied their results, learning that the two weeks of using both units; the house was a bit too warm. The month where only the downstairs unit was used, they noted downstairs and upstairs were warm. This did not support their prediction that it would be cold.



They began to wonder how upstairs could still be warm during the daytime when only using the downstairs unit. What is the best possible explanation for upstairs being warm throughout the winter month when they only turned on the downstairs unit?

Answers

Answer:

Convection

Explanation:

Hot air rises as it has less particles and more volume. This means that when they heat downstairs, the hot air rises to the top. Then, it cools and sinks because cold air has more particles and less volume. It heats up again from the downstairs unit and the cycle keeps going. This is called convection

Answer:

The volume of warm air expands and rises, warming the whole house through convection.
