One snapping turtle weighs 40 pounds, so 10 snapping turtles in a pond have a total weight of 400 pounds. The turtles eat largemouth bass (1 trophic level below them), and the bass in turn eat minnows (2 trophic levels below the turtles). So since only 10% of energy is passed in each trophic level, we would need:
(x lbs of minnows)(10%)(10%) = 400 lbs of snapping turtles
x = 40000 lbs of minnows (Choice C)

Irina-Kira [14]
Cellular respiration in algae, as in all organisms, is the process by which food molecules are metabolized to obtain chemical energy for the cell. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.<span>

A pharmacist has two vitamin-supplement powders. The first powder is 10% vitamin B1 and 30% vitamin B2. The second is 15% vitami
Basile [38]

Answer:

560 mg of powder 1 and 160 mg of powder 2

Explanation:

Let "X" denotes weight of powder 1 added to the new mixture and  "Y" denotes weight of powder 2 added to the new mixture

Total weight of vitamin B1 in the mixture is equal to 80 mg

Total weight of vitamin B2 in the mixture is equal to 200 mg

Equation 1

0.1 X + 0.15 Y= 80

Equation 2

0.3 X + 0.2 Y= 200

Let us simplify the above two equations, we will get

10 X + 15 Y = 8000\\3X + 2Y = 2000

2 (10 X + 15 Y = 8000), 20X + 30 Y = 1600015(3X + 2Y = 2000), 45X +30Y = 30000\\25 X = 14000\\X = 560

Substituting value of X in equation 2 we get

0.3 * 560 + 0.2 Y = 200\\0.2 Y = 200 - 168\\Y = 160
