Gamma rays are the electromagnetic radiation that is emitted from the radioactive elements. A gamma ray has the most energy and the smallest wavelengths than any other electromagnetic spectrum. These rays can kill living cells, and is used in the medical field for several diseases the main disease they are used for is cancer.

Warm surface waters get depleted of nutrients and carbon dioxide, but they enrich again as they travel through ________ waters i
Nonamiya [84]

Answer: Option B. "Deep"

Explanation:

Thermohaline circulation helps to drive the global conveyor belt, which is a global-scale system of currents. Due to the movement of ocean currents through different polar regions, it allows depletion of nutrients and carbon dioxide at surface waters and get enrich again as move through deep waters in the conveyor belt.

Winds in the ocean helps to  drive ocean currents in the upper ocean’s surface and these ocean currents moves below the ocean surface as well. the process that controls the movement of ocean current deep in the ocean is called Thermohaline circulation that  is based on differences in the water’s density,  and controlled by temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline).

Thermohaline circulation forms in the polar regions of Earth. Ocean water in the polar region gets colds that allows the formation of sea ice, which in turn make the surrounding seawater saltier and increases the ice density and sinks. This allows the deep-ocean currents to drive the Global conveyer belt.

The conveyor belt starts from the surface of North Atlantic pole, where seawater become saltier and ice starts sinking.  This deep water heads south along the western Atlantic basin. The conveyor belt get recharged as it travels along the coast of Antarctica and carries more cold, salty, dense water. The current get divided into two different sections, one traveling to the Indian Ocean and the other moves into the Pacific Ocean. The two sections of the current get warm and rises, as they travel northward, then turn back around  westward and southward.

The warmed surface waters continue to circulate around the globe and follows depletion of nutrients and carbon dioxide. But they get enrich again when they travel through deep waters all around the the  Global conveyer belt.

Hence, the correct answer is option is B "Deep".

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __ 1 __ _. The
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

The organisms that harness non-biological energy and convert it to biologically relevant/useful energy are called __<u>autotrophos or producers</u>_. The organisms that consume these are called _<u>herbivores</u>_ (it should end in -ores) which occur at the __<u>second</u>_ trophic level. The number of trophic levels that any ecological system will primarily dependent on the _<u>consumer</u>_ organisms.

Explanation:

 In the trophic web occurs energy transference through organisms occupying different levels in the chain. Each level feeds on the preceding one and becomes food for the next one. The first link is occupied by autotroph organisms, which are the producer. The following links are the consumers: herbivores are primary consumers and feed on producers. Carnivores are secondary consumers and feed on herbivores, and so on. The last links are the decomposers, microorganisms that act on dead animals degrading organic matter.  

Every link has an effect on the superior links and the immediately anterior link, meaning that whenever one of the links changes, the other ones will be affected.  

Autotrophs or producers synthesize inorganic substances, such as light, and turn them into organic matter according to their own needs. These organisms are photoautotrophs, such as plants, or chemoautotrophs. They occur at the first trophic level.

Heterotrophs are those incapable of producing their own organic matter, so they feed on producers, depending on them to get proteins and energy. In the trophic chain, heterotrophic organisms occupy the first, second, or third consumer level, after producers. These animals can be herbivorous, carnivorous,  omnivorous, hematophagous, ichthyophagous, and etcetera. All of them depend on autotrophic organisms.

In the particular case of herbivores, they occur at the second throphic level feeding on producers and being eaten by carnivores.

In general, most trophic chains are composed of 4 or 5 levels, depending on the number of consumers present, and the energy transference between levels.
