When a predator eats its prey, all the energy from the prey is transferred into the biomass of the predator a) true b) false

Answer is B) false.

According to 10 % law of energy transfer, when a predator such as hawk eats its prey such as snake in a grassland ecosystem , only 10 % of the available energy of the prey (snake) is transferred into the biomass of the predator (hawk). Most of the remaining energy is lost as heat to the environment.

answer: - few nutrients

high pressure

low temperatures

explanation: 1. few nutrients:   open-ocean zone is located way far from the land, which is the main source of the essential nutrients.2. high pressure: pressure increases by 1 atmosphere for every 10 meters increase in depth.3. ample sunlight: a large fraction of the sunlight is reflected back to the atmosphere from the sea surface. 4. varying salinity: below the thermocline, the water is isolated from the atmosphere so the salinity remains stable over the year.5. low temperatures:   the temperature of open-ocean zone ranges from a low of -2°c to an average of 17°c
