Answer:

  • <em><u>There are 1.6g more of fiber in the the potato with skin than the potato with flesh only</u></em>

<em><u /></em>

Explanation:

In the internet, you can find that a regular potato (medium-sized) with the skin contains about 4 grams of fiber; and half that is  in the skin , thus a potato without skin contains about 2 grams of fiber.

In other site, I found that the source used to deal with this question states 4.2 grams of fiber for <em>White, Flesh and Skin (173 grams)</em> and <em>2.6 grams for Potatoes, Baked, Flesh Only (173 grams)</em>.

Therefore, using the second reference, the differnce in the amount of fiber, in grams,  for the potato with skin and the potato with flesh only is:

  • 4.2g - 2.6g = 1.6g

The answer is that there are 1.6g more of fiber in the the potato with skin than the potato with flesh only.

3. If all the producers in the above food web contain 40,000 Kcal of energy, how much
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

The answer is only about 40

Explanation:

Whenever something is consumed, only about 10% of the energy is consumed. So when a primary consumer eats the producer, they will get about 4,000 kcal. Then the secondary consumer will get about 400. Finally, the tertiary consumer will only get about 40. Basically, just multiple the original number by 0.1 for every time it goes through consumption.
