In order to add one gram of mass, the whale must consume a sufficient amount of energy. The energy transferred to the fourth trophic level is 0.1⁴ = 0.0001
We divide the mass to be gained by the energy obtained per unit mass, to find the total mass to be eaten:
1 / 0.0001 = 10,000 grams of phytoplankton must be consumed to add one gram of mass.
Answer:
The answer is sunlight.
Explanation:
Sunlight is captured from the plants leaves and that energy is used to break down water into hydrogen and oxygen.
Geothermal is a renewable energy, because it is from the heat produced by the earth. The earth gets heat from the sun, which will be there for the next million of years. Geothermal has benefits, because if we harness the use of it, instead of mining out all of our coal and oil, we can use this for a long run, and only leave non-renewable energy resources for backup. However, there are consequences to communities and surroundings. The geothermal only benefits when the earth is warm. When the earth becomes too warm, we wouldn't even need the energy anymore cuz everythings dead. So we can use this, but overall we must try to lower the amount of resources that produce this thing as possible.. ( use other renewable energy)
hope this helps
