The answer is  8,000 calories. This is because, in the transfer of energy from one trophic level to another, only 10% becomes available to be converted to biomass. The other 90% of lost into the environment as heat. This is why the energy pyramid tapers a you go up the pyramid.

Am certain that Creatine phosphate functions in the muscle by storing energy that will be transferred to ADP to resynthesize ATP. All muscle cells have a little ATP within them that they can use immediately, however, only enough to last for about 3 seconds. Therefore, all muscle cells contain a high-energy compound called creatine phosphate which is broken down to make more ATP quickly.

On which side of the mountain would you be most likely to find a forest?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Mountain lands provide a scattered but diverse array of habitats in which a large range of plants and animals can be found. At higher altitudes harsh environmental conditions generally prevail, and a treeless alpine vegetation, upon which the present account is focused, is supported. Lower slopes commonly are covered by montane forests. At even lower levels mountain lands grade into other types of landform and vegetation—e.g., tropical or temperate forest, savanna, scrubland, desert, or tundra.

The largest and highest area of mountain lands occurs in the Himalaya-Tibet region; the longest nearly continuous mountain range is that along the west coast of the Americas from Alaska in the north to Chile in the south. Other particularly significant areas of mountain lands include those in Europe (Alps, Pyrenees), Asia (Caucasus, Urals), New Guinea, New Zealand, and East Africa. The worldwide distribution of mountain lands is shown in Figure 1.
