If a Killer whale is feeding at the fifth trophic level, how much phytoplankton mass is required to add each gram of new mass to

the whale? Assume that 10% of the energy at one trophic level is transferred to the next level. 10,000 grams 50,000 grams 1 gram 1000 grams

<span>Since a phytoplankton is on the 1st trophic level. Therefore the energy transfer from the phytoplankton to the Killer whale must be on the 4th power.</span>

To calculate:

Mass of phytoplankton required = 1 gram / (0.1)^4

Mass of phytoplankton required = 10, 000 grams

Therefore, 10, 000 grams of phytoplankton is needed to add 1 gram of mass to the Killer whale.

A cell in the testes of a male bald eagle is getting ready to begin meiosis. The diploid number for this bird species is 66. How
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

Replicated chromosomes at metaphase I = 66

Sister chromatids at metaphase I = 66 x 2 = 132

Sister chromatids at prophase II = 66

Chromosomes in each sperm cells = 33

Explanation:

Metaphase I of meiosis I would have 66 replicated chromosomes in the testicular cells of the bird. Each of the replicated chromosomes would have two sister chromatids. So, a total of 66 replicated chromosomes would have 66 x 2 = 132 sister chromatids.  

Due to segregation of homologous chromosomes towards opposite poles in anaphase I, each daughter cell formed by the end of meiosis I would have 33 replicated chromosomes. So, each of the daughter cells would have a total 33 x 2 = 66 sister chromatids at prophase II.  

Since meiosis II maintains the chromosome number, each sperm cell formed by the end of meiosis II would have 33 chromosomes.

Arturiano [62]

Granite is a type of intrusive igneous rock

Explanation:

An igneous rock formed from hot magma or lava cools, solidifies or crystallizes to form rocks.

Based on the rate of cooling of magma, igneous rocks can either be intrusive or extrusive.  

A slow cooling of the magma deep within the earth without reaching the surface of the volcano leads to the production of intrusive igneous rocks.

This slow cooling leads to crystallization forming large crystals visible to the eyes with a phaneritic texture.

Granite has the best phaneritic texture among intrusive igneous rocks. Granite crystals can be easily visualized and are constituted by minerals like white feldspar, black hornblende, translucent quartz, and platy black biotite.

Extrusive igneous rocks like basalt are formed from microscopic crystals from fast cooling of magma.

What are Nitrogen Bases?
LenaWriter [7]
A nitrogenous base, or nitrogen-containing base, is an organic molecule with a nitrogen atom that has the chemical properties of a base. The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together. A nitrogenous base owes its basic properties to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom.
