The stage that scientists begin to ask questions and attempt to explain observations is A. forming hypotheses. This is because a hypothesis is basically a testable question about observations scientists make.
Answer:
Carbon Cycle: the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, involving the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.
Explanation:
Answer:
1. 39 J; 2. 3.9 % usable; 3. 96.1 % unusable
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Available energy
Energy consumed = 1000 J
Less waste = - 177 J
Less respiration = <u>-784 J
</u>
Total energy lost = <u>-961 J
</u>
Available energy = 39 J
2. Percent of total energy usable
The chipmunk could use only 39 J of the original 1000 J.
% of energy usable = 39 J/1000 J × 100 % = 3.9 %
3. Percent of energy unusable
The chipmunk lost 961 J of the original 1000 J.
% of energy unusable = 961 J/1000 J × 100 % = 96.1 %
