<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.

Answer:

The pressure of a gas increases in a closed container if the volume of the gas decreases. Pressure and volume have inverse relationship which means if one increases the other decreases and vice versa. If pressure increases, volume of a gas decreases because there are a lot of empty spaces present between gas particles which are filled when gas particles come closer to each other due to pressure applied.

Which step in the water cycle involves matter changing form?
aliina [53]
<span>B. precipitation</span><span>

The evaporation process uses the sun radiation or sun’s thermal energy for vaporization of a water from the land or soil to be water vapor then in the air. Transpiration on the other hand is the same with evaporation that involves water molecules to be vaporized into the air but it is located in the stoma of the plants. It is like evaporation within plants. This is actually to have homeostasis in plants and still part of the water cycle. </span>

simply discuss insulin's affects on glucose and lipid pathways at the level of adipose, muscle and liver.
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

make me brainliest pls :)

Explanation:

Insulin suppresses hepatic glucose output and adipose tissue lipolysis, lowering blood glucose and fatty acid levels. It also increases hepatic lipid synthesis for subsequent storage in adipose tissue and stimulates glucose uptake into fat and muscle.

Alla [95]

Answer:

ATP production.

Explanation:

The result will be the production of ATP molecules if we place thylakoids in a beaker with a solution that mimics the chloroplast stroma in direct sunlight. The thylakoids are able to formed ATP in the dark because H+ gradient is required for ATP synthesis. The scientists find out that the light reactions were not necessary to establish the H+ gradient required for ATP synthesis by ATP synthase.
