Biologists use their observations on a small island to construct the food web shown. Their calculations indicate that the produc

er level has about 150,000 kilojoules of energy available. How much energy is available to the primary consumers in this food web? Explain your calculation.

The flow of energy from one level to another does not happen with 100% efficiency. The producers only transfer 10% of the energy they absorb from the Sun. The major chunk of the absorbed energy goes into the growth of the producers, the rest gets lost in the form of waste (shedding of leaves, reproduction, etc.) and the remaining 10% is the amount that is available to the primary consumers. So by this logic, if there is 150,000 KJ of energy available at the producer level, then, only 15,000 KJ of energy will get transferred to the primary consumers.

liq [111]

He or she is said to be in a positive nitrogen balance state.

Nitrogen balance is the traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.

MatroZZZ [7]
There are choices for this question namely:

a. cementation of clastic sediments and precipitates from seawater 
<span>b. compaction and recrystallization of volcanic material </span>
<span>c. regional metamorphism of sedimentary and igneous rocks </span>
<span>d. contact metamorphism of unconsolidated gravel 
</span>
The correct answer is that the bedrock of the Adirondock mountains is formed mainly by regional metamorphism of sedimentary and igneous rocks. The geology of the Adirondock mountains formed around 5 million years ago with rocks  over 1000 million years old. At this very ancient age, the sedimentary and igneous rocks in the Adirondock mountains have undergone extensive heat and pressure hence regional metamorphism of the existing sedimentary and igneous rocks.
