Answer A)

As the diagram shows, there are five trophic levels which can be seen in this food web. The first trophic level is the organisms which are able to produce their own food by the process of photosynthesis. These include organisms like phytoplankton, S A V, vegetation. The second trophic level is that of the herbivores which includes  zooplankton, benthic invertebrates, herbivorous ducks, geese and mute swans. The third trophic level is the primary consumes which includes small planktivorous fish, bivalves. The fourth trophic level is the secondary consumers which includes gulls and terns, wading birds, large piscivorous fish, sea ducks, tundra swan. The fifth torphic level is that of the tertiary consumers which includes osprey, bald eagle.

Answer B)

Produces are organism which can make their own food.<em> An example of producers in this question is phytoplankton.</em>

Herbivores are organism which only feed on the primary producers.<em> An example of herbivores in the given question is  herbivorous ducks.</em>

Carnivores can be described as organisms which feed on other animals. <em>An example of carnivores in the given question is bald eagle.</em>

Answer C)

As energy moves up the trophic levels in a food chain or food web, it reduces abundantly. This is because most of the energy is lost at each trophic level in the form of heat. Only 10% of energy is recorded to be transferred from one trophic level to another. The rest is lost mainly in the form of heat to the environment.

Answer No D)

1) Carbon moves from the plants to the animals which eat them.

2) The carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere by animals is taken by the plants for the process of photosynthesis.

3) When animals die, the carbon compounds present in them gets decomposed in the soil. These carbon compounds are taken in by the plants from the soil as nutrients.

Which plate boundaries and movements most commonly create earthquakes? Explain how earthquakes can be created by plate tectonics
Ede4ka [16]

Answer:

Movement in narrow zones along plate boundaries causes most earthquakes. Most seismic activity occurs at three types of plate boundaries—divergent, convergent, and transform. As the plates move past each other, they sometimes get caught and pressure builds up.

Answer:

The nucleus

Explanation:

Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (where it is called nuclear DNA), but a small amount of DNA can also be found in the mitochondria (where it is called mitochondrial DNA or mtDNA). Mitochondria are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use.

Hope this helps!

¿Qué áreas del conocimiento me pueden <br> aportar a la ejecución del proyecto? para un huerto
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Conocimientos que pueden resultar muy útiles al momento de planificar un huerto:

- biología vegetal (características de las plantas que queremos producir)

- agronomía (características del terreno utilizado)

- condiciones ambientales (meteorología), como así también la disposición del lugar

Explanation:

Para iniciar un huerto en casa es necesario tener en cuenta una serie de factores que pueden influenciar en gran medida el éxito del proyecto:

-Tener en cuenta las características de las plantas que queremos producir es fundamental para lograr un óptimo crecimento. Por ejemplo, plantas que no resisten las heladas podrían morir en ciertas regiones, con lo cual las plantas deberían encontrarse en estos casos protegidas durante su desarrollo (por ejemplo, mediante un invernáculo).

- Buscar lugares bien iluminados. La presencia de luz es un factor fundamental para el crecimiento de las plantas.

- Riego y/o precipitaciones: tener en cuenta las necesidades hídricas de las plantas que queremos producir.

- Suelo: utilizar tierra abonada suele ser la mejor opción para brindarle a las plantas la mayor cantidad de nutrientes y así garantizar un óptimo crecimiento. En el caso de usar macetas, la presencia de huecos o el uso de vermiculita puede ser de gran ayuda para permitir la escorrentia del agua.

- Espacio: es necesario tener en cuenta el espaciado entre plantas para que puedan crecer normalmente.

-Tener en cuenta las plagas (insectos, nemátodos, etc) que podrían afectar el crecimiento de las plantas.
