If there are 3000 calories of energy available at the zooplankton, how much energy will there be at the shark?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

30 calories of energy

Explanation:

In an aquatic ecosystem, zooplanktons are primary consumer i.e. they feed on primary producers e.g phytoplanktons. They are fed on by smaller fishes e.g tilapia, which in turn is fed on by sharks. Based on this, we have a food chain as follows:

phytoplankton → zooplankton → tilapia fish → shark

From this food chain, it appears that ZOOPLANKTON is a primary consumer while SHARK is a tertiary consumer. Since only about 10% of energy is transferred to each trophic level when organisms feed on one another, if there are 3000 calories of energy available at the zooplankton, the following will be available for sharks:

For secondary consumer = 10/100 × 3000 = 300 calories for tilapia fish

For tertiary consumer = 10/100 × 300 = 30 calories for shark.

Why is mitosis necessary during the development of a human?

Answers

Answer:

Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell. It plays an important part in the development of embryos, and it is important for the growth and development of our bodies as well. Mitosis produces new cells, and replaces cells that are old, lost or damaged.

Answer:

Conduction: This is a flow of heat by direct contact. Heat travels from a warmer object toward a colder object.

Convection: This is a transfer of heat by mixing a fluid. Convection occurs within liquids and gases. Examples include boiling water and when warm water mixes with cold water.

Hard structures of corals and shelled organisms are deteriorating because of

1. increasing ocean pH
2. decreasing ocean pH
3. increasing ocean temperature
4. decreasing ocean temperature

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - 2. decreasing ocean pH.

Explanation:

Many marine organisms such as corals that have hard calcium carbonate shells or skeletons are deteriorating due to the increase of carbon dioxide levels dissolved in marine water which leads to decreasing pH in seawater.

For example, increasing ocean acidification or decreasing pH level due to increased carbon dioxide has been shown to significantly reduce the ability to maintain their skeleton or hard structure or building again. Due to Co2 dissolving in the water means more hydrogen ions in seawater that leads to the concentration of CO3^2- ions actually decreases.

The diagram below represents some changes that took place in a bacterial population recently exposed to an antibiotic.Which statement would best explain the presence of bacteria on day 4?A) A bacterial population cannot survive exposure to antibiotics.B) This bacterial population cannot survive exposure to this antibiotic.C) Bacteria can change whenever it is necessary to survive antibiotic treatment.D) Some of the bacterial population was resistant to this antibiotic.

Answers

About the question:

You will find the diagram used to answer the question in the attached files.

Answer:

D) Some of the bacterial population was resistant to this antibiotic.

Explanation:

The term resistance refers to an inheritable change in a population sensitivity, reflected through the consecutive failure of the chemical effects, correctly used to reach a desired effect on the target population.

The excessive use of antibiotics on the bacteria population leads to the fixation of new mutated genes -by natural selection-. The mutated genes make these cells even more resistant to the drug.

In the exposed example we have,

Day 1 ⇒ a big population of white bacteria and only one black cell, probably carrying mutated genetic material.

The population was treated with antibiotics.

Day 2 ⇒ there are fewer white bacteria and three black cells. This means that white bacteria are dying, while the black ones are reproducing.

The mutated phenotype gets to survive under the effects of the chemical.

Day 3 ⇒ There are no more white bacteria. Only the black population survived and keeps reproducing.

The mutated bacteria reproduce with the capability of tolerating the antibiotic dose that is usually used to destroy a population of white bacteria.

Day 4Black bacteria got to survive a produce a big population. Remember that bacteria follow the exponential growth model, meaning that their reproductive rate is too high. This black population survived the antibiotic action and reproduced at high rates.

Hypothesis: If the porosity of three soils are tested, then red clay soil will have the lowest porosity.

Answers

Answer:

This question is incomplete, based on the given hypothesis, the question is asking to identify the variables (independent and dependent) of the experiment.

*Independent variable: DIFFERENT SOILS

*Dependent variable: Porosity

Explanation:

- Independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by an experimenter in order to effect a response in another variable. In this question, three different soils were used, hence, the SOIL is the independent variable.

- Dependent variable is the variable that responds to changes made to the independent variable. It is the variable being measured in an experiment. In this case, the porosity is the variable being measured, hence, it is the dependent variable.
