2. Which of the following accurately describes the flow of energy through ecosystems? A. All of the energy found within a primar

y producer is transferred to a first-level consumer. B. Energy is always passed from the consumer to the primary producer. C. The percentage of the original energy from producers that's available to the consumer is quite small. D. A third-level consumer would store a greater portion of energy from the previous level than would a second-level consumer.

I would say C because you start out with the sun, the original source of energy, and the energy goes to the plants, primary producers, which obtain all the energy and make food and also store some "for later", but when the insects, primary consumers, eat the plants they don't get all the energy that the plants had originally taken in, they only get what they had stored "for later" and the rest of the energy dissipates as heat. And the same thing continues up that chain, when frogs eat insects, they don't get all the energy that was in the insect, their stored energy is lost.  Hopefully this helps :)

Given a population that contains genetic variation, what is the correct sequence of the following events under the influence of
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2. A change occurs in the environment.

4. Poorly adapted individuals have decreased survivorship.

1. Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring than do poorly adapted individuals.

3. Genetic frequencies within the population change.

Explanation:

The natural selection theory was developed by Darwin to explain how evolution occur within a population. The environment is in constant state of changes and always select for organisms that are better adapted to it.

Poorly adapted organisms gradually reduce from the population as a result of decreased survival while well-adapted individuals multiply and contribute more to successive generation.

Well-adapted individuals pass on the adaptive alleles to their offspring, eventually leading to a change in gene frequencies within the population.

Hence, the sequence of events is 2, 4, 1 and 3.

Where is the energy shown in the equation transferred as a result of photosynthesis?
Leto [7]

The right answer is into sugars.

Photosynthesis aims to create energy (in the form of carbohydrate) from the

light energy from the sun. The organisms that use the photosynthesis

mechanism are phototropic because they make organic materials from

inorganic materials.

What is waters role in light reactions
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

water act as a reactant in light reaction.

Explanation:

Water undergo hydrolysis in presence of sunlight to form proton(H+) and hydroxyl ion(OH-) ion. The OH- ion liberates electron to reaction center of photosystem 1 thereby exciting the later .The excited photosystem then donates that extra electron to the primary electron acceptor and from the primary electron acceptor the electron moves through various electron carriers to generate ATP .

    Basically water act as reducing agent in photosynthesis process.
