Answer:

76.5Kj

Explanation:

A food chain consists of different trophic levels of organisms ranging from the PRODUCERS to the TERTIARY CONSUMERS. According to the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is available for use for the next trophic level as majority of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, if the primary producers in the energy pyramid contains 76500kJ of energy, the following energy would be available for each trophic level.

Primary producers: 76500kJ

- 10% of energy will be available to the primary consumer = 10/100 × 76500 = 7650kJ

- 10% of energy (7650kJ) will be available to the secondary consumer = 10/100 × 7650 = 765kJ

- 10% of energy (765kJ) will be available to the tertiary consumer = 10/100 × 765 = 76.5kJ

Hence, 76.5kJ of energy will be available for organisms at the tertiary level.

Be able to describe the structures and functions of these systems and how they work together:
san4es73 [151]

The nervous system: In biology, the nervous system is a highly complex part of an animal that coordinates its actions and sensory information by transmitting signals to and from different parts of its body.

The circulatory system: The circulatory system is made up of blood vessels that carry blood away from and towards the heart. Arteries carry blood away from the heart and veins carry blood back to the heart. The circulatory system carries oxygen, nutrients, and hormones to cells, and removes waste products, like carbon dioxide.

The respiratory system: The respiratory system is a biological system consisting of specific organs and structures used for gas exchange in animals and plants. The anatomy and physiology that make this happen varies greatly, depending on the size of the organism, the environment in which it lives and its evolutionary history.

The muscular system: The muscular system is an organ system consisting of skeletal, smooth and cardiac muscles. It permits movement of the body, maintains posture and circulates blood throughout the body. The muscular systems in vertebrates are controlled through the nervous system although some muscles can be completely autonomous.

What differentiates anthropocentric and biocentric views of the environment?
Dafna11 [192]
If we were to differentiate anthroprocentric and biocentric views of the environment you could say that anthroprocentric is more holistic than biocentric. They consider the importance of the environment to human beings. Biocentric sees humans as an individual part of the environment.

Also Biocentric views tend to focus more on biotic factors (living things) and anthroprocentric veer towards the abiotic factors (non-living things).

The graphic shows the citric acid cycle. A diagram of the citric acid cycle is shown. Acetyl C o A enters the citric acid cycle
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

It enters the citric acid cycle and associates with a 4-carbon molecule, forming citric acid, and then through redox reactions regenerates the 4-carbon molecule.

Explanation:

Acetyl-CoA(2C) associates with oxalacetate(4C) to form citric acid(6C). Then through redox reactions, CO2 molecules result from decarboxylation (COOH becomes R-(R1)CH-R2). And through dehydrogenation H2 molecules are incorporated in NADH+ in FADH2, resulting in the 4-carbon molecule at the beginning (oxalacetate). That's why it's called a cycle(Kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle)
