3. A food web is an interlocking system of independent food chains. The flow of energy is represented by an arrow. The arrow poi

nts in the direction in which the energy is being transferred. Example: Mouse → Snake (because the snake eats the mouse). Answer the following questions:
a. What do you notice about how plants get their energy?



b. Describe the direction of the arrows in the food web.



c. What would happen to the population of snakes and rabbits if hawks were removed from the ecosystem?

Answer:

  • Plants get their energy from the sun
  • The arrows continue up the food chain
  • The snakes would over-populate and kill off the rabbits

Answer:

Explanation:

a. plants get their energy through photosynthesis with the sun

b. Arrows in a food web start with the prey and go up to the top animals... example would be sun to grass to bunny to hawk to eagle. The web should be interlocking and not have any empty points, unlike a food chain

c. if hawks were removed from the food chain the rabbit and snake populations would increase rapidly. This is because the top predator was taken away. This happened in Yellowstone when people shot all the wolves and the elk populations grew out of control.

I hope this helps you!

3. The human body has devised an excellent method to keep the body pH under control. a. What principle underlies the constant pH
kumpel [21]

The normal blood pH for adult humans is 7.40, and this pH value is vigorously defended at normal body temperature

Acid base Homeostasis is the method by which body keeps a constant ph
pH is kept under check via different systems
1. Chemical system :bicarbonate buffer system(explained below )
Respiratory component :
2. Respiratory Component: The second line of dense is rapid consisting of the control the carbonic acid concentration in the ECF by changing the rate and depth of breathing by hyperventilation or hypoventilation. This blows off or retains carbon dioxide (and thus carbonic acid) in the blood plasma as required

3.Metabolic component : third line of defense is slow, best measured by the base excess,eand mostly depends on the renal system which can add or remove bicarbonate ions to or from the ECF.Bicarbonate ions are derived from metabolic carbon dioxide which is enzymatically converted to carbonic acid in the renal tubular cells.There, carbonic acid spontaneously dissociates into hydrogen ions and bicarbonate ions.When the pH in the ECF falls, hydrogen ions are excreted into urine, while bicarbonate ions are secreted into blood plasma, causing the plasma pH to rise.The converse happens if the pH in the ECF tends to rise: bicarbonate ions are then excreted into the urine and hydrogen ions into the blood plasma.




Buffers usually consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base; this enables them to readily absorb excess H+ or OH–, keeping the system’s pH within a narrow range.

Maintaining a constant blood pH is critical to a person’s well-being. The buffer that maintains the pH of human blood involves carbonic acid (H2CO3), bicarbonate ion (HCO3–), and carbon dioxide (CO2). When bicarbonate ions combine with free hydrogen ions and become carbonic acid, hydrogen ions are removed, moderating pH changes. Similarly, excess carbonic acid can be converted into carbon dioxide gas and exhaled through the lungs; this prevents too many free hydrogen ions from building up in the blood and dangerously reducing its pH; likewise, if too much OH– is introduced into the system, carbonic acid will combine with it to create bicarbonate, lowering the pH.
Example: Antacids, which combat excess stomach acid, are another example of buffers.
