Answer:

Part of energy is stored as ATP and rest is lost as "unusable form", that is, metabolic heat.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, none of the energy transformation processes is 100% efficient and part of the energy is always converted into unusable form to increase the entropy of the system or surroundings. Ingestion and digestion of food into simpler elements followed by the use of these simpler nutrients for energy production stores part of energy into ATP. However, part of the energy of nutrients is converted into metabolic heat. The metabolic heat is an unusable form of energy.

Amanda [17]
An insect bite on the face produces a break in the skin which introduces the normal skin flora (usually <em>Staphylococcus </em>and <em>Streptococcus</em>) to the sterile subcutaneous tissue causing inflammation. The inflammation of the subcutaneous tissue is called cellulitis. Since the infection is in the face, then it can travel from the infected site to the meninges through the cavernous sinuses and cause bacterial meningitis.

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE <br><br> What impact do trees have on the food web?
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Abiotic factors such as latitude and temperature can impact biotic aspects of food web structure like the number of species, the number of links, as well as the proportion of basal or top species. These biotics factors can in turn influence network-structural aspects like connectance, omnivory levels or trophic level. In this way, plants make, or produce, the beginnings of most of the food energy on Earth. This is why plants are called producers. They use some of the food energy to carry out their own functions, and store the rest of the energy in their leaves, stems, roots and other parts.
