Answer:
False is the correct answer
Explanation:
Answer:
b. at each step, energy is lost from the system as a result of keeping the organisms alive
Explanation:
Generally Ecological pyramids helps to visualise the structure of Ecosystem.Its diagrammatically showed the relative amounts of numbers of organisms ,their energy, and the amount of energy that is converted in living tissue as usable mass (biomass) at different tropic levels.
Basically, large amount of energy is lost as energy flow from one tropic level to another in an ecosystem. This can be explained with the second law of thermodynamics;<u> </u><u>which states that in the conversion of energy from one form to another in a system, there is always a tendency towards disorderliness</u><u>.</u>That is the entropy changes of the universe can never be negative.Relatively in a biological system, this means that energy is lost in metabolic process( glycolysis, chemeosmosis, assimilation, growth .......) as heat, as organisms at one tropic level is consumed by another at the next level, from the base to the peak of these pyramids.
The amount of energy transfer efficiency among the two successive tropic levels is obtained by <u>dividing the energy transfer at present tropic level</u> with<u> the energy transfer at previous tropic levels</u> and<u> mutiply the results by 100%</u> . This known as Tropic level transfer efficiency(TLTE) .
The lower energy efficiency between successful present and previous tropic levels in these pyramids accounts for the similarities.
When a river reaches a lake or the sea the water slows down and loses the power to carry sediment . The sediment is dropped at the mouth of the river. Some rivers drop so much sediment that waves and tides can't carry it all away. It builds up in layers forming a delta.
so Ur answer is Deltas are build up by deposition
Scientific law is the description of an observed phenomenon. it doesn't explain why the phenomenon exists or what causes it and scientific theory is a misconception that theories turn into laws with enough research.
Answer:
C) The mass of the nitrogen atoms in the reactants is equal to the mass of the nitrogen atoms in the products.
Explanation:
In a closed system, the mass of reactant is always equal to the mass of products.
