<span>Energy is transferred through the separate trophic levels of a food chain or web by feeding.The first trophic level (producers) is that of plants which are examples of autotrophs – they make their own food. Photosynthesis occurs when the plants use solar energy and convert it into chemical energy so it can be stored in a carbon compound. Once this has happened the energy can be taken up by the primary consumers – these are in the second trophic level (herbivores and omnivores). Secondary consumers also need to gain energy in some way, and this is by eating the primary consumers that have gained energy from the producers, this means that the second trophic level has successfully transferred energy into the third level containing omnivores and carnivores. A succession in energy transferral means that a food web or food chain has a tertiary and/or quaternary trophic level which can contain carnivores and omnivores which are plant and animal eaters (this includes humans).This transfer in energy is fairly efficient for the organisms involved as around 10% of light energy that is converted into chemical energy through photosynthesis is transferred through the trophic levels, the rest is lost in respiration, as heat, faeces and urine. Not all of the energy can be passed along a food web or chain as it must be used in other things too, so it cannot be 100% efficient.</span>
Answer:
Na is the element from the second period that has the largest atomic radius
Explanation:
The atomic radius is a chemist property from the periodic table. It is decreased when we move in a period from the periodic, so the element in the second period that has the largest radius is Na, and the shortest, the Ar
The atomic radius indicates the distance between the nucleus and the outermost valence layer. In the periods it decreases with increasing Atomic Number, to the right, due to the attraction that the nucleus exerts on the electrons of the outermost orbitals, thus decreasing the core-electron distance.
Answer:
Explanation: Sodium Nitroprusside, whose molecular formula is • 2H2O, and whose molecular weight is 297.95. Dry sodium nitroprusside is a reddish-brown powder, soluble in water.
Cylinder A - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 3.2 mL
Cylinder B - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 2.8 mL
Cylinder C - Adding 25 grams raised the water level by roughly 3.5 mL
Calculate grams/mL (density)
A. 25 g/3.2 mL = 7.8125 g/mL = Iron
B. 25 g/2.8 mL = 8.9286 g/mL = Nickel
C. 25 g/3.5 mL = 7.1429 g/mL = Zinc
