<h2>Energy </h2>
Explanation:
Energy flows in only one direction through an ecosystem
- The Sun supports most of Earth's ecosystems
- Plants create chemical energy from abiotic factors that include solar energy and chemosynthesizing bacteria create usable chemical energy from unusable chemical energy
- The food energy created by producers is passed to consumers, scavengers, and decomposers
- Energy flows through an ecosystem in only one direction, it is passed from organisms at one trophic level or energy level to organisms in the next trophic level
- Most of the energy at a trophic level – about 90% – is used at that trophic level and organisms need it for growth, locomotion, heating themselves, and reproduction
- So animals at the second trophic level have only about 10% as much energy available to them as do organisms at the first trophic level
- Animals at the third level have only 10% as much available to them as those at the second level
Luminosity or magnitude of energy brightness
Answer:
d.0.48
Explanation:
When a population is in Hardy Weinberg equilibrium the <u>genotypic </u>frequencies are:
freq (AA) = p²
freq (Aa) = 2pq
freq (aa) = q²
<em>p</em> is the frequency of the dominant <em>A</em> allele and <em>q</em> is the frequency of the recessive <em>a</em> allele.
In this population of 100 individuals, 84 martians have the dominant phenotype and 16 have the recessive phenotype.
Therefore:
q²=16/100
q² = 0.16
q=√0.16
q = 0.4
And p+q=1, so:
p = 1 - q
p = 1-0.4
p = 0.6
The frequency of heterozygotes is:
freq (Aa) = 2pq = 2 × 0.4 × 0.6
freq (Aa) = 0.48
Answer:
Primary succession is one type of the ecological succession which takes place on the land devoid of vegetation or barren land.
The species which first flourishes on this barren land are known as pioneer species which includes the species of bryophytes and pteridophytes like lichens and mosses.
These lichens and mosses help breakdown the barren rocks through chemical leaching and help increase the nutrient content. This allows the ferns and small pteridophytes to grow.
Then the area is colonized by the intermediate species which includes herbs, shrubs later trees. These intermediate species help attract the animals and thus help establish the biological community.
Thus, Lichens mosses → herbs→ shrubs →trees.
