1 answer:

3 0

A solstice is a point during the Earth's orbit around the sun while during an equinox, the sun is at its nearest point from the Equator. Another difference is that a solstice takes place on June 21 and December 22, while an equinox takes place on March 20 and September 22. One more difference is that during the summer solstice, the days are longer and in winter solstice, the nights are longer. For an equinox, the duration of day and night are both equal.

Hope it helps :)

The caretaker of a farm feeds hay to the cows to procure milk from them. How much energy will the cows get from the hay?

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer: C) 10%.

Explanation:

The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

Explain why organisms need enzymes to survive.

kotykmax [81]

Enzymes are catalysts in chemical reactions. What this means is that they speed up chemical reactions, which in turn means that all the actions necessary for our metabolisms occur as a result of catalysts. This goes from fighting illnesses and diseases to dissolving food. We couldn't live without them because our metabolisms would be so slow that we would die as nothing could work.
