Answer:
Food webs and food chains.
A food web describes the flow of energy and nutrients through an ecosystem, while a food chain is a linear path through a food web
Answer:
Lightyears
Explanation:
When dealing with very large interstellar distances, astronomers do not use the regular miles, kilometers, or meters we are used to. This is because they are just too small to be used as a metric when measuring such large distances. As a matter of fact, the earthly number system will quickly be exhausted when trying to measure some of these interstellar distances.
Instead, astronomers make use of Lightyears. Lightyears are defined by the distance traveled by an object moving at the speed of light if it was moving constantly at that speed for one year.
This can properly be used to estimate interstellar distances. since its value is very large. 1 lightyear = 9,461,000,000,000 Km
If we say that our closest star is 9 lightyears away, we are saying that it will take an object moving at the speed of light 9 years to travel from that star to our planet.

Explanation:
An ecosystem consists of a community of living organisms
interacting with each other and the environment. The source of energy that fuels most ecosystems is the sun. Plants use the Sun’s energy to produce food in a process called photosynthesis.
Organisms that use energy from the Sun or energy stored in chemical compounds to produce their own nutrients are called autotrophs. They are also called producers because most other organisms depend on autotrophs for food and energy. Heterotrophic organisms that can’t make their own food may obtain nutrients by eating other organisms. A heterotroph that feeds only on plants is called an herbivore. Herbivores are also called first order heterotrophs. Heterotrophs that feed on other herbivores are second order heterotrophs.
Energy (caloric) value of foods is indicated by calories, which measure the amount of heat that the food releases in the metabolic process. In physiology, it is determined by the energy balance of the organism, ie the heat exchange between the organism and the external environment.
Calories of nutrients:
1 g of protein = 4 kcal (kilocalories)
1 g of fat = 9 kcal
1 g of carbohydrates = 4 kcal
1 g of alcohol = 7 kcal
1 g of organic acid = 3 kcal
According to the table above, we can calculate required value:
29x4 + 6x4 + 1x9= 149 kcal/g
Answer:
1. c
. The life cycles of insects and animals all start from a fertilized egg.
2. d
. A bee goes through a pupa stage, while the grasshopper goes through a nymph stage.
3. b
. I and II
Explanation:
The egg fertilization is very important for the emergence of almost all organisms. If the egg is fertilized then it will change into an organism otherwise no organism is produced from that unfertilized egg. The bees has four distinct life stages i.e. the egg, larva, pupa and adult whereas grasshopper has three stages i.e. egg, nymph, and adult. A moth and an eagle both start their life cycle as a fertilized egg and moth and an eagle both hatch from an egg which is laid by the mother outside of their body..
