C) conversion of radiant energy into chemical energy D) storage of energy in a polysaccharide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose

Explanation:

The three steps within the aerobic respiration process are glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.

Photosynthesis builds glucose, and what was built in photosynthesis is broken down during aerobic respiration.

 

Hence, production of ATP from the breakdown of glucose is the main result of aerobic respiration.

Q:

Secondary consumers are eaten by larger

A) fast animal B) animal in the third trophic level
C) herbivorous animal D) predator
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) predator

Explanation:

A tertiary consumer is an animal that obtains its nutrition by eating primary consumers and secondary consumers.

Usually tertiary consumers are carnivorous predators, although they may also be omnivores, which are animals that feed on both meat and plant material.

 

Tertiary consumers often occupy the top trophic level, and so are predated by no other animals; in this case they are called "apex predators". However, when they die their bodies will be consumed by scavengers and decomposers.
