For a lake in Michigan, researchers have determined that largemouth bass feed on smaller fish, which in turn feed on zooplankton

. In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake. In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake. Assuming 10 percent trophic efficiencies, what is the expected decline in largemouth bass?
(a) 1,000 mg.
(b) 1,500 kg.
(c) 2,000 kg.
(d) 3,000 kg.

Answer:

the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

In 2016, there was 600,000 kg of zooplankton in the lake.

In 2017, an accidental runoff of insecticide near the lake caused a 50 percent decline of the zooplankton population in the lake.

Now,

The remaining mass of zooplankton  after the 50% decline will be;

⇒ 600,000 kg zooplankton  × 50%

⇒ 600,000 × 50/100

⇒ 300,000 kg of zooplankton

Now, with 10 percent trophic efficiency;  smaller fish directly feed on zooplankton; decline in smaller fish mass will be;

⇒ 300,000 kg × 10%

⇒ 300,000 × 10/100

⇒  30000 kg

Finally, with 10 percent trophic efficiency, largemouth bash directly feed on smaller fish, so the expected decline in mass of largemouth bash will be;

⇒ 30000 kg × 10%

⇒ 30000 kg × 10/100

⇒ 3,000 kg

Therefore, the expected decline in largemouth bass is 3,000 kg.

Option d) 3,000 kg is the correct answer.

Can any of you guys help me with this. Can y’all give me some facts about nucleus protons netrons and electrons :)
Mumz [18]

Answer:

the nucleus is the center of the atom, made up of protons and neutrons, without the nucleus you'd just have a bunch of electrons floating around; the nucleus is positively charged

protons are the positively charged particles that sit within the nucleus

neutrons are particles of no charge that sit within the nucleus, and because they have no charge, they do not cancel out the positive charge of the protons, making the nucleus positive

electrons are negatively charged particles that float around the nucleus in an area known as the electron cloud, they orbit around the nucleus because they are attracted to the positive charge of the nucleus (caused by the protons), with charges, opposites attract

10. Copper(i) bromide reacts with magnesium metal: 2 CuBr + Mg → 2 Cu + MgBrz
velikii [3]

Answer:

72.6 grams

Explanation:

I got this answer through stoichiometry.  For every 1 mole of Mg, 2 moles of CuBr are consumed.  Because of this, multiply the moles of Mg by 2.  Then, convert moles to grams.

What term is defined as splitting large nuclei into smaller ones
svetoff [14.1K]

Answer:

Nuclear Fission.

Explanation:

This happens when a high-energy particle collides with a radioisotope, which splits into 2 daughter nuclei, several neutrons (which can collide with more radioisotopes to cause a chain reaction); and a lot of energy. That's why nuclear power plants are so good.
