There are more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain....

"In a food chain, energy is passed from one link to another.  When a herbivore eats, only a fraction of the energy becomes new body mass; the rest of the energy is lost as waste or used up by the herbivore itself to carry out its own life processes.

Therefore, a carnivore has to eat many herbivores to get sufficient energy to survive and grow."

No there can't be, there have to be more herbivores than carnivores in a food chain or else the ecosystem wouldn't work, it's an energy pyramid.

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

When we add salt to water entropy of the system increases because some amount of energy is released as salt dissolves in the water due to the dissociation of ions.      

Therefore entropy of the system after the salt dissolves is highest among them all and the least entropy is associated when mixing begins.

Entropy is the degree of randomness and it increases when salt dissociates to Na^{+}\ and\ Cl^{-} as these ions are freer to move inside an aqueous solution compared to Previous state.

A scuba diver's tank contains 0.240 kg of o2 compressed into a volume of 3.10 l. what volume (in liters) would this oxygen occup
ohaa [14]
Given:
m = 0.240 kg = 240 g, the mass of O₂
V = 3.10 L = 3.10 x 10⁻³ m³, the volume

Because the molar mass of oxygen is 16, the number of moles of O₂ is
n = (240 g)/(2*16 g/mol) =  7.5 mol

As an ideal gas,
p*V = nRT
or
V = (nRT)/p
where R = 8.314 J/(mol-K)

When
p = 0.910 atm = (0.910 atm) * (101325Pa/atm) = 92205.75 Pa
T = 27 °C = (27 + 273) K = 300 K
then the volume is
V= \frac{(7.5 \, mol)*(8.314 \, J/(mol-K))*(300 \, K)}{(92205.75 \, Pa)} =0.2029 \, m^{3}

V = (0.2029 m³)*(10³ L/m³) = 202.9 L

Answer: 203 liters

9. Know the three types of muscles, their shape, and where they are located.
KatRina [158]
Cardiac, smooth, and skeletal. cardiac muscle cells are located in the walls of the heart and appear striated and are under involuntary control. smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs except the heart they also appear striated. skeleton muscle is found between bones and uses tendons to connect to the epimysium to the periosteum, or the outer covering of bone. skeletal muscle is shaped and adapted in many ways.

How much heat is needed to change the temperature of 3 grams of gold (c = 0.129 ) from 21°C to 363°C? The answer is expressed to
Temka [501]

Q= mcΔT

Where Q is heat or energy

M is mass, c is heat capacitance and t is temperature

You have to convert Celsius into kelvin in order to use this formula I believe

Celsius + 273 = Kelvin

21 + 273 = 294K

363 + 273 = 636K

Now...

Q= (0.003)(0.129)(636-294)

Q= 0.132 J if you are using kilograms, in terms of grams which seems more appropriate the answer would be 132J of energy.
