Hich of the following best describes the flow of energy in the everglades food web shown below? a. american alligator right arrow carp right arrow insects right arrow mangrove; about 10% of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
b. egret right arrow carp right arrow insects right arrow sawgrass; about 90% of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
c. mangrove right arrow insects right arrow carp right arrow egret right arrow american alligator; about 10% of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic
d. sawgrass right arrow insects right arrow southern leopard frog right arrow raccoon right arrow american alligator; about 90% of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

Option D

Explanation:

The tropic level in the food chain and food shows that what organisms feed on whom to get energy.

The main producer of the ecosystem is producer which helps in producing food for the other members of the food.

The option D shows saw grass→insects → southern leopard  frog→ raccoon→american alligator.

The flow of energy takes places from the grass towards the american alligator.

b. regulated is the actual answer to your question.

explanation:

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
