Suppose a fox in a food web feeds only on rabbits, squirrels, mice and birds, all of which feed exclusively on plant material. A

ssuming that a fox’s daily caloric requirement is 800 kcal, and that only 10 percent of the energy at one trophic level can be passed to the next trophic level. How many square meters of plant material are required to support the fox, if the net primary productivity of the plant material is 8,000 kcal/m2/yr? Hint: draw the food chain to determine how many kcal/m2/yr the fox receives to determine how much land he needs and remember the 10% rule!

Answer:

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = 3650 m²

Explanation:

From the given information:

the daily caloric requirement of the fox = 800  

In a year, we have = 800 kcal × 365 /year = 292,000 kcal/year

Also, only 10% of the energy at a particular trophic level can be passed onto the next.

the net productivity of the plant material = 8000 kcal/m²/yr

So, using 10% of energy at a particular level, the fox only need 80 kcal/m²/yr

The objective is to determine in square meters, how many materials are required to support the fox.

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = \dfrac{292,000}{80}

= 3650 m²

The process of desalination removes salt from seawater using condensation methods or filtration. Which of the following is least
lesantik [10]

Answer:

First is the high cost, because it takes a lot of increasingly expensive energy to remove salt from seawater. A second problem is that pumping large volumes of seawater through pipes and using chemicals to sterilize the water and keep down algae growth kills many marine organisms and also requires large inputs of energy (and thus money) to run the pumps. A third problem is that desalination produces huge quantities of salty wastewater that must go somewhere.

How could the central lord-retainer relationship of feudalism create political and social order? How could it be used to create
Maru [420]

Answer:

Feudal lords controlled castles and had military strength that allowed them to create social and political order in vast areas. In several cases, the concentration of power and wealth in the hands of feudal lords allowed them to build some sort of powerful states. However, the fragmentation of political power paved the way for many dangers, like wars, invasions, and famine.

Explanation:

Feudalism is the denomination of the predominant political system in Europe and the Middle East during the Middle Ages, characterized by the <u>decentralization of political power</u>. By relying on the diffusion of power from the cusp (where the emperor or the kings were in theory) to the base where local power was effectively exercised with great autonomy or independence by an aristocracy, called nobility, whose titles derived from governors of the Carolingian empire (dukes, marquises, counts) or had another origin. Feudalism responded to the insecurity and instability of the time of the invasions that were happening for centuries. Given the inability of state institutions, far away, the only security came from local authorities, lay nobles or ecclesiastics, who controlled castles or fortified monasteries in rural settings, converted into new centers of power in the face of the decay of cities.

Feudalism allowed the Lords to concentrate a great power and wealth in vast areas, which in time would derive in the creation of powerful states. It also led to constant conflicts and wars among several feuds. Since there was no clear higher power above the feudal lords, it created a fragile and unstable social and political order that paved the way for wars, invasions, and famine.
