The percentage of energy that is unusable is obtained as 96.1 %.

<h3>What is the percentage of unusable to become new growth for the chipmunk?</h3>

We know from the law of conservation of energy that energy is neither created nor destroyed in the ecosystem but is converted from one form to another. We know that the ecosystem is a self supporting system in which there is an exchange of materials and energy. Energy flows from the producers to the consumers and some of this energy is dissipated along the way and is lost as heat during the transition.

The metabolic activities of an organism takes up some part of the energy that it receives from the sun.

From the question, we know that the energy consumed is 1000 J and the energy that is lost to waste and to respiration is 177 J and 784 J respectively. This implies that the available energy is 39J.

The percent of energy that is usable is;  39 J/100J * 100/1 = 3.9 %

The percent of energy that is unusable is; 961 J/1000 J × 100 % = 96.1 %

in chickens, the allele for black feathers is co-dominant with the allele for white feathers. black-feathered and white-feathere
Vladimir79 [104]

In chickens, the black wing allele is co-dominant with the white wing allele. Black and white birds are homozygous for the black (B) allele or the white (W) allele.

In genetics the terms, codominance refers to the pattern of inheritance in which the two versions (alleles) of the same gene are being expressed separately to produce the different traits in the individual. In perfect dominance, only the one allele of the genotype is also present in the phenotype. In codominant cases, both the alleles of the genotype are present in the phenotype. In the case of the imperfect dominance, the phenotype shows the mixture of genotypic alleles. In the genetics terms, codominance refers to the pattern of inheritance in which the two versions (alleles) of the same gene are expressed and separately to produce the different traits in the individual.

What process occurs after a forest fire wipes out an entire ecosystem? What is this process called? What are the steps of this p
ad-work [718]
The secondary succession is triggered by a natural event (forest fires for example) that destroys an established ecosystem. The destroyed forest will then undergo a regrowth process. This secondary growth may look bizarrely different from the way how the original forest used to look like. There are several stages involved after the forest os being burned. The first stage involves the colonization of massively burned places by plants and fungi. The following stage starts when minuscule plants such as grasses dwell in the forest. And then, huge plants that require lots of direct sunlight will move in. Lastly, new trees will continuously grow up to a point where they makeup a forest that remains in time except there are major interventions.

How does crystal size compare in extrusive vs. intrusive rock? Explain the cause of this difference
Ede4ka [16]
The difference between extrusive and intrusive rocks are how they cool down. Extrusive rocks cool down quickly and are created by lava; because of this they have very small, fine-grained crystals. Intrusive rocks cool slowly beneath the surface of the earth and are created by magma; because the cooling process is very slow the rocks have very large crystals.
