Which of the following best explains why the number of organisms at each level decreases while moving up the energy pyramid? A. The animals at each level use energy, so only a small amount of their energy is available to the next level. B. The animals at each level have more predators, so they produce more offspring. C. The animals at higher levels are more competitive, so fewer animals survive. D. The animals at higher levels move more than animals at lower levels, so they require more energy.

The animals at each level use energy, so only a small amount of their energy is available to the next level.

Explanation:

I did it on Study Island

tsd is temerature dependent sex determination.

tsd: it is a type of environmental sex determination in which the temperature experienced during embryonic/ larval development (ambient temperature for development) determine the sex of the offspring.

crocodile displays the tsd where the ambient temperature of the developing egg determines the individual's sex. for example in the american alligator's eggs, incubation at 33 ºc produces mostly males, while incubation at 30 ºc produces mostly females. so if the american alligator's egg will get the ambient temperature (33 degree celcius)during embryonic development from egg, the offspring will be male and same for the female sex determination.

the titanic would be the correct answer
