Answer:
0.1% of energy
Explanation:
Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.
From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.
At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.
If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.
10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)
<em>TL = Trophic level </em>
Correct answer: C) Nutrients are circulated throughout the biosphere
Biogeochemical cycles are cycles by which essential elements of a living organism are circulated continuously. It consider the biological, chemical, and geological aspect of each cycle.
The most important biogeochemical cycles are nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, water cycle, oxygen cycle and phosphorous cycle.
Biogeochemical cycle always have a state of equilibrium, and the state of equilibrium is attained when there is balance in cycling of element among the compartment.
The history of the domesticated sheep goes back to between 11000 and 9000 BC, and the domestication of the wild mouflon in ancient Mesopotamia. Sheep are among the first animals to have been domesticated by humans, and there is evidence of sheep farming in Iranian statuary dating to that time period.
