A mangrove community has the following food chain: Mangrove → mangrove tree crab roseate spoonbil → American crocodile
Which population would be most likely to increase if roseate spoonbills
disappeared from the community?
O A. Mangrove
O B. American crocodile
OC. Roseate spoonbill
OD. Mangrove tree crab

D. Mangrove tree crab. There would be a drop in the predators that feed on them. Crocodile populations would drop to food shortage, and mangroves might also suffer from the high crab population, so only D is correct.

1. (1.2kw)x(15/60hours) = .3kwh --> a

2. (5kw)x(90/60hours)x(8cents/kwh) = $0.60 --> d

3. microwave --> 1200 watts = (1.2kw)x(6/60hours) = .12kwh

coffee-maker --> 900 watts = (.9kw)x(10/60hours) = .15kwh

therefore, it requires more energy for the coffee-maker to do the same amount of work.

so the answer is a.
