Answer:

A: Some energy will be used to do work and some will be lost as heat.

Explanation:

According to the second law of thermodynamics, none of the processes of energy transformation is 100% efficient. The part of the energy is always converted into unusable form and is lost as heat.  

Consumption of food includes process of cellular respiration to obtain energy from nutrients. However, part of the energy of nutrients is lost as metabolic heat and rest are stored in the form of ATPs.  

Example: during cellular respiration, only 40% energy of a glucose molecule is stored in form of ATPs and rest 60% is lost as heat.

The amount of energy at trophic levels one and four in an ecosystem is indicated by the numbers.
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

1100

Explanation:

There is 10% of total energy in each increasing trophic level.                    10,000 / 10 = 1,000 ,so there are 1,000 units of energy in trophic level 2.

1,000 / 10 = 100, so there are 100 units of energy in trophic level 3.

1,000 + 100 units of combined energy would be 1,100 units of energy.

Hope this helps!

blagie [28]

Answer:

vaccination

Explanation:

The vaccination has been one of the most revolutionary inventions in the medical field. This invention helped protect people from numerous diseases, some being totally neutralized, while some having only minor effects on the human body. The vaccination basically is a way of enhancing the immune system of the body by injecting in it a weakened form of the pathogen. In this way, the weakened form of the pathogen is not capable to harm the body, and the body is not fighting against it, but instead the pathogen becomes part of the body and its defense mechanism, so when the pathogen strikes, the body has a counter attack and defeats it.
