Answer:

The main reason many people choose to avoid green action is that they think it will cost them more than their typical, environmentally harmful activities. Many times, it is true that environmental friendly products come with high up-front costs, but these costs almost always are made back over the lifetime of products. Many environmentally friendly products are far more efficient and cost-effective over their life-time than other, less clean options. For the most part, people are simply unaware of the economic benefits of going green. This lack of knowledge make consumers unwilling to make decisions that they perceive will cost them more money. No matter how dedicated to the environment a person is, if they believe it will lose them money, it is unlikely that they will ever do anything about it. While total spending on green products may be increasing in the United States, the market share remains dangerously low – typically making up only 3-5% of any given market.

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

One very important chlorophyll is chlorophyll a. All photosynthetic organisms (except a few groups of bacteria) have this as their main photosynthetic pigment. It is important because only it can participate directly in the light reactions, which convert solar energy to chemical energy.

Select all of the following statements that represent examples of predation. Check All That Apply Deer eat the leaves of a tree.

Fantom [35]

Answer:

A snail eats a clam.

Explanation:

Interactions always occur between organisms in an ecosystem. An interaction between two organisms is called SYMBIOSIS. Symbiosis consists other types which includes PREDATION. Predation is a kind of symbiotic relationship between two organisms in which one kills and feeds on the other in order to obtain energy. The organism that kills is called the PREDATOR while the organism that is killed is called PREY.

In this example, a snail feeding on a clam best represents the example because the snail (PREDATOR) is obtaining energy by killing the clam (PREY). In other options, no organism is killed.

How many food calories can a human burn up in an hour by exercising at this rate? (remember that only 20.0 % of the food energy

blsea [12.9K]

Human can produce a maximum mechanical power of 1/3 hp (horse-power).

Horse power is a unit of power, it equals 746 watt (watt is also a power unit, known to be equal to a joule per second)

So:

1 ph = 746 watt = 746 J/s

1/3 ph = 248.6 J/s

we're looking for the calories, so

1 joule = 0.239006 calories

So human produce a maximum mechanical power of:

248.6 J/s = 82.88 calories per second.

We're looking for the number of calories consumed in three hours, so:

82.88 cal/s = 82.88 cal/s * 3600 s * 3 = 895200 calories = 895.2 kilocalories (food calories).

The number of food calories is 895.2 food calories
