How might research on the flow of matter and energy through ecosystems be helpful to creating a colony on mars?

Biology
1 answer:
spayn [35]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

This research could help determine how efficient energy and matter transfer is through the ecosystem. Currently, it is known that this transfer is very inefficient with a mere 10% energy transfer captured in biomass from one trophic level to another. Most of the energy is lost to the environment mainly as heat energy.

It is, therefore, critical that research determines ways of drastically enhance this efficiency so as to be able to colonise Mars. It will be required that whatever humans grow/rear on Mars in small modified fields translate into a high transfer of energy when consumed by humans. This makes it tenable to sustain humans on the distant planet.

Describe a hypothetical example showing how rising sea levels due to global warming might cause extinction.
german

Answer:

Global warming may cause more icebergs to melt than are created. This would lead to higher sea levels. Sea levels may rise above land masses located at low elevations. As a result, the animals who lived in these areas may find their habitats shrinking and resources depleting, causing their population size to decrease. If there are particular species that were only able to survive in the areas now covered by water, they may very well become extinct.

How does the precision of measurements affect the precision of scientific calculations?
juin [17]
<span>The precision of scientific calculations is limited by the measurement that's the least precise out of all the measurements used in the calculation. When considering significant figures, the last answer should have the least significant figures out of all the measurements that entered into account and were able to be done with the most significant figures that could be directly measured. So, as more precise we are in measurements, more precise can be the final answer to a scientific calculation.</span>
