Would you be likely to find a food chain containing 10 links? Why or why not?

It would be highly unlikely to discover a food chain containing 10 links.
This is mainly due to the loss of energy that occurs with transitions through the links in the chain.  Almost 90 percent of the energy obtained at one trophic level is lost when being transmitted to the other trophic level ( link in the food chain).
This means that the 10th link in the chain would get so little energy consuming the 9th level organism that it wouldn't be enough to survive.
The 2nd link gets only 10% of the initial energy absorbed by the 1st link in the chain. If the chain is 10 links long, you would lose 90% with each link, leaving next to nothing for the last few links.

A student melts 50.0 grams of ice using 16650 j of energy. what is the heat of fusion of ice?
mojhsa [17]
The heat of fusion of the ice is the amount of energy that is required in order to melt one gram of ice. In this item, in order to solve for the heat of fusion, we simply have to divide the given energy by the mass. 
                     heat of fusion = 16650 J / 50 g = 333 J/g
Thus, the heat of fusion of the ice is 333 J/g.

Nookie1986 [14]

It will have no effect because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

<h3>Effect occurs on mass</h3>

The order in which we add the ingredients do not affect the mass of the batter because the order in which ingredients are mixed will not change the fact that matter cannot be created nor destroyed.

The mass of the batter remains the same due to the incorporation of same quantity of ingredients so we can conclude that option A is the right answer for this question.
