What is the organization of your own cells, starting with the smallest unit and going to the level of organism?

What percent of the energy consumed by the larvae became biomass that is now available to the next trophic level?

likoan [24]

Answer

About 10% energy is converted to biomass from one trophic level to another trophic level.

Explanation

Food chain is composed of different trophic level which are classified on the basis of their mood of food obtain. These include

1. Producers (photosynthetic)

2. Primary consumers (herbivore)

3. secondary consumer (Carnivore)

4. Tertiary consumer (carnivore)

5.Quaternary consumer (Carnivore)

6. Decomposer

As larvae are hatched by insects which belong to second trophic level. About 90% of energy in food is lost at each trophic level. As move down the trophic level the number of organism also decreases in each trophic level. Therefore, energy transfer from one trophic level to another is like a pyramid.

What is H5N1? What is the concern about H5N1? What is a super virus?

olchik [2.2K]

Known as the Influenza A virus subtype H5N1, or more commonly known as the Avian Flu/Bird Flu, H5N1 is enzootic (maintained within a population) globally in many bird populations. According to recent word from the World Health Organization, as well as the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, H5N1 pathogenicity is gradually continuing to rise in endemic areas. However farmed birds are held in check by vaccination, and thus far there is no evidence of sustained human-to-human transmission of the H5N1 virus. The number of worldwide outbreaks being reported are steadily decreasing.

juin [17]

Incomplete question. The remaining part of the question read;

Words in the left column:

Yes
No
Observational
Manipulative

1. A physiologist incubates eggs in the lab at a range of temperatures to see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females.

2. A biologist predicts that shade might influence ground temperature, and therefore turtle sex ratios. He records the sex ratio of turtle hatchlings in shaded and unshaded regions

3. An ecologist predicts turtles grow larger when no predators are around. She places turtles in an experimental pond system where half the ponds have predators and half the ponds have had the predators removed.

4. A climatologist predicts that concentration of CO2 in a city will be negatively correlated with the amount of wind in that city. He collects data and looks at the amount of CO2 in a city as a function of the wind speed in the city.

5. A sociologist conducts a survey in Hawaii to describe people's attitudes about global climate change.

6. A scientist determines the average wind speed, and variation in the amount of wind, in a number of locations to see which locations would be most suitable for wind turbines

Answer/Explanation:

1. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

We can make this conclusion here that the physiologists' research is hypothesis-driven since we are told he wanted to "see what temperatures produce males and what temperatures produce females." In other words, he wanted to know whether the temperature used in incubators can influence the sex of an egg by means of observation.

2. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observation.

3. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Manipulative.

We can make the conclusion that is the ecologist used the manipulative method in her research since she decided to place the turtles in two different types of ponds; one where half the ponds have predators while in the other the pond the predators have been removed. In other words, she manipulated the independent variables.

4. Hypothesis-driven? Yes!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

Note, the use of the word, "predicts" in most instances underscores the tone of hypothesis-driven research, hence we can say Yes! And remember, we are told the researcher "collects data", meaning he is merely observing differences that occur naturally.

5. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.

6. Hypothesis-driven? No!

Observational or Manipulative? Observational.
