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.

Cellular Respiration is the process of what? A. Producing oxygen at the cellular level. B. The release of energy from food. C. B
matrenka [14]

Cellular Respiration is the process of the release of energy from food. Hence, option B is correct.

<h3>What is cellular respiration?</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process by which organisms use oxygen to break down food molecules to get chemical energy for cell functions.

Through the process of cellular respiration, the energy in food is converted into energy that can be used by the body's cells. During cellular respiration, glucose and oxygen are converted into carbon dioxide and water, and the energy is transferred to ATP.

Hence, option B is correct.

Suppose the gas resulting from the sublimation of 1.00 g carbon dioxide is collected over water at 25.0◦c into a 1.00 l containe
jeyben [28]

Answer:

0.55 atm

Explanation:

First of all, we need to calculate the number of moles corresponding to 1.00 g of carbon dioxide. This is given by

n=\frac{m}{M_m}

where

m = 1.00 g is the mass of the gas

Mm = 44.0 g/mol is the molar mass of the gas

Substituting,

n=\frac{1.00 g}{44.0 g/mol}=0.0227 mol

Now we can find the pressure of the gas by using the ideal gas law:

pV=nRT

where

p is the gas pressure

V = 1.00 L is the volume

n = 0.0227 mol is the number of moles

R = 0.082 L/(atm K mol) is the gas constant

T = 25.0 C + 273 = 298 K is the temperature of the gas

Solving the formula for p, we find

p=\frac{nRT}{V}=\frac{(0.0227 mol)(0.082 L/(atm K mol))(298 K)}{1.00 L}=0.55 atm
