Explanation:
The quantity of energy decreases down each trophic level as only 10% of the energy at the upper level is transferred to the next level, the remaining 90% is lost as heat during metabolic process. Through the energy pyramid we can explain how energy is lost at each trophic level, the number of consumer at each trophic level that will benefit from the transfer of energy depends on the size and quality of the energy from the autotrophs
Answer:
At its last stage
Explanation:
Mitosis is complete when it has finished its last stage, which is known as telophase. During telophase, the chromosomes or the genetic material are already separated on opposite sides of the large cell. When this happens, the chromosomes begin to be enveloped in their own separate nuclei.
J-shape curve
J-shape curve is a curve that shows the population density of an organisms as they increase rapidly in a logarithmic or exponential form but abruptly stops due to environmental resistance. Thus, the population rate is largely determined by the biotic potentials and size of the population. However, exponential growth produces J-shaped curve.
Answer:
Water obeys the Law of Conservation of Matter despite changing into different forms because when water does change forms, the amount of water stays the same. The Law of Conservation of Matter states that before matter undergoes change, be it through physical or chemical means, the same amount of matter exists. Matter cannot be created nor destroyed during the change. When water changes from a liquid to a gas the molecules change form by breaking the bonds that held them in a liquid state, but this does not create new matter. The molecules can now move more freely but are still the same as they were before. Same goes with the change from a liquid to a solid. The molecules slow down and become more compact, forming a solid. Though again, this does not create new matter nor destroy existing matter, therefore obeying the Law of Conservation of Matter.
Explanation:
Answer:
The phenomenon through which certain pollutants (harmful chemicals) get accumulated in tissues of organisms at different trophic levels in increasing concentrations along the food chain, is called Biomagnification.
Explanation:
1)Suppose, DDT is being used in a farmland.
2)There's a water body nearby the farmland and the water is contaminated with the DDT(let's say the quantity: 0.003 ppb).
3)Now the aquatic organisms (Zooplankton) which consume this water also consuming the DDT also.(0.04 ppm)
4)Next these Zooplanktons are consumed by small fishes. (0.5 ppm)
5)These small fishes are then consumed by Large fishes. (2 ppm)
6)These Large Fishes are consumed by Humans or Birds afterwards. (25 ppm)
7) So at each step DDT is also getting accumulated and at each successive trophic level the quantity of Accumulated DDT gets magnified as the organisms on higher trophic levels consume more biomass than the previous ones. This is a classical example of Biomagnification.
