About how much energy is transferred from a producer to a primary consumer?

Biology

devlian [24]3 years ago

Answer: The correct answer is C)  10% of the plant's energy.

In an ecosystem, there are various trophic levels, which form the part of the food chain. Producer like plants forms the first trophic level as they synthesize their own food via photosynthesis.

The energy from producers is transferred to the primary consumers. It is only 10% of the producer's energy.

This is in accordance with the 10% law of energy transfer. According to this law, only 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next trophic level in an ecosystem. This is because the rest of the energy is utilized by the organism or released as heat in the environment.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

C. 10% of the plant's energy is passed on. then 10% of the primary consumer's energy goes on to the secondary consumer and so fourth

How does a cells surface area change compared to its volume when the cell grows
EastWind [94]

Answer:

As a cell grows bigger, its internal volume enlarges and the cell membrane expands. Unfortunately, the volume increases more rapidly than does the surface area, and so the relative amount of surface area available to pass materials to a unit volume of the cell steadily decreases.

7. What is the kinetic energy of a 3-kilogram ball that is rolling at 2 meters per second?
nydimaria [60]
Kinetic energy = 0.5*M*V^2 

 Q7-
 
0.5*3*(2^2)= 6J

Q8a- 

0.5*2*(2^2)= 4J
0.5*4*(3^2)=18J 
the second ball has more kinetic energy.

Q8b-

at the max height, all the kinetic energy is converted to potential energy, 

gravitational potential energy is = M*g*h

that theory would apply if you wanted to work out the maximum height achieved if the balls were thrown upward by rearranging. But, we are simply working out which ball will have more potential energy so:

First ball:
2kg*9.81(g)*10m = 196.2J

Second ball
4kg*9.81*10m= 392.4J

The second ball has more potential energy
