What does a pyramid of net production look like in a real ecosystem, and what are the trophic efficiencies? the pyramid below represents the data collected from h. t. odum's work on the silver springs ecosystem in north-central florida. (note that odum used the units kilocalories [kcal] instead of joules [j].) drag the labels to the pyramid to indicate the trophic efficiency from each trophic level to the next.
a. 12%
b. 5%
c. 17%
d. 0.5%

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?
