Which three steps describe how an animal obtains and uses energy for growth?
first, an animal eats another organism. then, food is built into larger molecules. next, the animal's cells use molecules to
make new cells.
first, food is built into larger molecules. then, the animal eats another organism. next, the animal's cells use molecules to
make new cells.
first, an animal eats another organism. then, food is broken down into smaller molecules. next, the animal's cells use
molecules to make new cells.
first, food is broken down into smaller molecules. then, the animal eats another organism. next, the animal's cells use
molecules to make new cells.

The correct answer is First an animal eats another organism.Then ,food is broken down into smaller molecules.Next,the animal"s cell use molecule to make new cell.

Explanation:

The above 3 sentences deals with with the flow and utlization of energy in an ecosystem.

              In the first step an amimal is eating another organism thus getting nutrients from the later.Then the intaked nutrients are broken down inside the body of that animal by digestion and metabolism through various enzymatic steps to generate energy along with monomeric constituents of the intaked nutrients which are finally used in by that animal to make new cells.

c. movement because i took the test and it lets me review my answers

answer: decrease

a limiting factor is the one which decrease the abundance, distribution and causes extinction of the population of species in a ecosystem. here, predators including hawks, owls and snakes are the limiting factor for the population of mexican free tailed bat.   although bats are nocturnal animals as they forge for food at night these predators also may remain active during night which can decrease the population of the mexican free-tailed bats. also, these bats eat only one type of insects that are moths. the food can also be a limiting factor as all 400 members are dependent upon same type of food needs that are moths. the decrease in the moth population can cause decrease in population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.

therefore, the scenarios will most likely to decrease the population size of the mexican free-tailed bats.
