<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.

Types of Unemployment

There are three basic types of unemployment which are the cyclical, frictional, and structural.

Cyclical Unemployment

Is due to the highs and lows of the economy, as in cycles e.g in times of recession, the job lost is know as cyclical unemployment.

Frictional Unemployment

It results from the actual turnover in the labor market and the time taken to get a new job. E.g. when a worker change his/her job, it requires time to get a name job and learn more of the job in details for him/her to be called up for interview and get hired. This process is termed frictionally unemployed.

Structural Unemployment

Originates from a lack for demand for a specific class of worker due to the worker lacking the appropriate skills needed by the employee as this can cause the worker to lose the job. Another example is sourcing for a reduced cost of labour abroad.
