How is it possible for white dwarfs to have a lower luminosity than the sun even though it is much cooler?

Biology
1 answer:
ratelena [41]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

White dwarfs have an extremely small surface area to radiate this heat from, so they cool gradually, remaining hot for a long time.

Explanation:

As a white dwarf cools, its surface temperature decreases, the radiation which it emits reddens, and its luminosity decreases.

Explain character displacement, and provide an example.
nata0808 [166]

A line of indirect evidence of competition comes from the comparison between closely related species, whose population can be allopatric (geographically separated) or sympatric (geographically superimposed). In some cases, the allopatric populations of these species are morphologically similar and use similar resources. On the other hand, sympatric population, which are supposed to compete for resources, have body structures and use different resources. The displacement of characters is the tendency to have more divergent characteristics in sympatric populations of two species than in allopatric populations of the same two species.

An example of character displacement is the variation in size between populations of galapagos finches. Some of its populations are allopatric ( they live separately) and others are sympatric ( they live together). Peak size distributions they vary according to whether they are sympatric or allopatric.  They look more alike when they are allopathic than when they are sympatric. That is, the peak size character moves when species enter competition.

11) In a typical energy pyramid about 10% of the available energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Consider an
crimeas [40]

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

In a typical energy pyramid the amount of energy that is being transferred is only 10% rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat.

The energy from the sun is converted in the form of chemical energy which is stored in the producers.

10 per cent of this energy is transferred to the next trophic level and rest of the energy is lost in the form of heat. This goes on, there is only a transfer of 10 % energy from the successive levels.

So, if the producers have 200 Kcal/m2/year energy the the primary consumers will have 10% of this energy which is equivalent to 20 Kcal/m2/year and then the secondary consumers will have 10 % of 20 Kcal/m2/year which is equivalent to 2 Kcal/m2/year.
