The correct answer is option C

The only source of energy in an ecosystem is the sun. The green plants make food by the help of photosynthesis. These plants are also eaten by the herbivores and then these herbivores animals are eaten by the carnivores animals present in the ecosystem.

The energy from the sun is transferred to herbivores, then from herbivores to carnivores.

Some amount of energy is also lost during the process of energy transfer.

The energy transferred from one level to another + the energy lost

= energy absorbed from the sun.

The energy of the ecosystem can be best described as option C. The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms plus the amount lost as heat.

Which renewable resource is not safe for the environment and why?

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer: Biomass

Biomass produces gas or many sorts of waste products which are mostly used in burning and cooking. It is plant or animal material used as fuel to produce electricity or heat. Examples are wood, energy crops, and waste from forests, yards, or farms.

But the reason why it can be harmful is because biomass can produce gases like methane. Methane is a greenhouse gas which can harm the environment and reduce the ozone layer that stops harmful UV light from reaching the earth atmosphere.

The various taxonomic levels (e.g. genera, classes, etc.) of the hierarchical classification system differ

Westkost [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The taxonomic classification has eight levels, they go from the more inclusive to the more exclusive.

The eight categories are: Domain which is the most inclusive level, that is to say, that the largest number of individuals are included in this level. There are three domains according to the cells types, and where they live. They are the Eukarya, Bacteria and Archaea. Domains are divided into kingdoms, they are the Plantae, protista, Eubacteria, Archaebacteria, Animalia and Fungi. After kingdoms the Phylum category comes, following Phylum is Class, various classes that are related will form a Phylum. The next category is Order, order is divided into Family, families are broken into Genus, where species are closely related between each other and finally the last category is Especies identifier, in this group there are unique characteristics that will identify a specie. With this classification we can see that we go from global groups to more specifics ones as the classification avances.

write a paragraph describing the impact Carbon on our global temperatures include the terms carbon sink carbon Source ocean acid

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Global warming is caused by the greenhouse effect caused by greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide, in the earth's lower atmosphere. A release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere by carbon sources such as fossil fuel burning increases the greenhouse effect hence increased global warming. Another effect of higher carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere is oceans acidification. The oceans will absorb more carbon dioxide and form more carbon acid hence lowering the pH of the waters. To alleviate this phenomenon, carbon sinks need to be protected such as forest because they sequester carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and store it as carbohydrates in their biomass.
