Net production efficiency (NPE) is defined as the product of 100 and the quotient of net consumer productivity and assimilation.

If the invertebrate primary consumers of an ecosystem exhibit a NPE of about 20% and pass on about 1000 kcal/m2/yr to secondary consumers, what is the assimilation of the primary consumers?
A. 1000 kcal/m2/yrB. 2000 kcal/m2/yrC. 5000 kcal/m2/yr

Answer:

The assimilation of the primary consumer is 5000 kcal/m2/yr, option C.

Explanation:

From the information in the question, the Net Production Efficiency, NPE can be calculated using 100Cp/AS.

Where CP is the consumer productivity and AS is the Assimilation.

Therefore, 20 = 100 x 1000/AS

AS = 100,000/20 = 5000 kcal/m2/yr. Option C.

The epicenter of an earthquake is the area where the least amount of damage takes place.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Yes it can be.

Explanation:

Surface damage. The epicenter is directly above the earthquake's hypocenter (also called the focus). In most earthquakes, the epicenter is the point where the greatest damage takes place, but the length of the subsurface fault rupture may indeed be a long one, and damage can be spread on the surface across the entire rupture zone.

Which correctly lists the three parts of soil that are classified by their particle size? bedrock, humus, and clay clay, bedrock
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Sand, clay, and silt

Explanation:

The categorization of soil particles by size can be made into three classes including sand (particle size between 0.05 mm to 2 mm), silt, (particle sizes between 0.002 mm to 0.05 mm) and clay (particle sizes lesser than 0.002 mm), larger particles such as stones, pebbles, boulders and rock other fragments are left out of the textural classification because of their inertness

The combination of the three particle sizes can be found in most soils and their relative proportion defines the texture of a given sample of soil.

What is the basis for the delay between the atrial and ventricular contractions in a normal heart?
earnstyle [38]

The main responsible for the delay among the atrial and ventricular contractions is the action potential conduction velocity of the AV node cells. If the atria and ventricles contract simultaneously, atria cannot give any help in filling the ventricles, which is needed, especially in those with stiff ventricles as in the elderly. Hence atria have to contract first and then the ventricles.
