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!

alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

Water vapor is a greenhouse gas, which absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.

Explanation:

Water vapor is formed through a process called evaporation. In this process, water from the ocean, rivers, and lakes evaporates to become water vapor using the energy from the sun. Water vapor also moves into the atmosphere by transpiration (plants) and sublimation (snow and ice).

The water vapor cools down and transforms into water droplets by a process called condensation, as it rises high in the atmosphere where the air is cooler. This water droplets that formed by condensation make up clouds.

When the earth’s surface get heated by the sunlight, some of the heat radiates back into the atmosphere and most of this heat is absorbed by gases in the atmosphere called green house gases. This process is called greenhouse effect, which keeps the earth warm. The green house gases mainly consists of carbon dioxide and water vapor. Water vapor absorbs the heat radiated from the earth's surface. It allows less heat to escape back to space by trapping the heat energy in the lower atmosphere and keeps the atmosphere warm.

The amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is directly proportional to the temperature. When addition of the other greenhouse gases causes a temperature increase (such as extra CO2 from fossil fuels), more water evaporates and this leads to an increase in water vapor which further increases the atmospheric temperature since water vapor is a greenhouse gas. So, water vapor is part of a positive feedback system.

Answer:

E) horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer can also be referred to as lateral gene transfer. It is the transmission of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) between different genomes.

Horizontal gene transfer has been shown to occur between different species, such as between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms.

Horizontal gene transfer is made possible by the existence of genetic elements, such as plasmids, transposons, and bacteriophages (bacteria that infects viruses).
