11) In a typical energy pyramid about 10% of the available energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Consider an

area in which the energy production of the autotrophs equals 200 Kcal/m2/year. What is the amount of energy available to secondary consumers in this energy pyramid? A) 1 Kcal/m2/year B) 2 Kcal/m2/year C) 10 Kcal/m2/year D) 15 Kcal/m2/year

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.

10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.

So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.

A checkered hen mates with a checkered rooster. The genes for the checkered trait are codominant in both parents. What are the c
iVinArrow [24]

There are 75% chances that their offsprings will be checkered.

Explanation:

The gene version allele is received by an individual and if they are different then the gene of the parent which is dominating is expressed in the offspring. However, in the case of co dominance the offspring gets the trait of both parent alleles.

So, in this case the mating of checkered rooster and checkered hen with co-dominance in their trait of genes will produce checkered offspring with a chance of 75 percent as can be calculated by the punnet square. The result will be 3 out of 4 checkered offspring.

Global bee populations have been declining over the past decade. What impact might this have on the world's human population?
aev [14]

Answer:

Bees play a significant role in the field of agriculture. They can adapt to the process of pollination. Pollination is usually defined as the process of transportation of pollen grains from the male anther of a flower to the female stigma. The bees pollinate the crops and increases their productivity and yield capacity. About 35% of the food that we eat, are dependent on this pollination act that is carried out by the bees, involving either directly or indirectly.

Over the last few decades, the population of the bee has been decreasing, and it is directly affecting the global human population. It is because less amount of food is produced compared to the rate of demand, resulting in a shortage of food items.
