Phytoplankton 120,000 kJ/m2

Biology

scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a. 6.26%

b. 3.65%

Explanation:

A food chain is a series of event showing how organism feed on one another, it also shows the transfer of energy in an ecosystem.

From the question; we can have a food chain showing the transfer of energy right from the producer to the tertiary consumer

(Producer)                  Primary                 Sedcondary           Tertiary

                                   consumer (1°)       consumer (2°)        consumer (3°)

Phytoplankton    ⇒    Copepods      ⇒  small fish         ⇒    Marine birds

120,000 kJ/m2         7,514 kJ/m2            383 kJ/m2              14 kJ/m2

W                                    X                              Y                          Z

Efficiency of energy transfer is given as: \frac{EnergyAvaliableAfterTheTransfer}{EnergyAvailableBeforeTheTransfer}*100%

The first question (a) says,  Calculate the efficiency of energy transfer to the copepods.

i.e efficiency of energy transfer from phytoplankton to copepods =\frac{X}{W}*100%

=\frac{7514}{120000}*100

= 6.25%

b) Calculate the efficiency of energy transfer from the secondary consumer to marine birds.

i.e efficiency of energy transfer from small fish to marine birds = \frac{Z}{Y} *100

=\frac{14}{383} *100

=3.65%

Help please I'm so confused
Sergio [31]

Hi,

Attached is solution diagram. You can see that true breeding means both have same alleles for purple PP and white WW flowers.

They were crossed to produce hybrid plants that all had purple flowers PW because purple was the dominant trait.

However, upon self fertilization of those hybrid plants, both purple and white flower plants were produced in 3:1.

Hope it helps!
