How do matter and energy move through an ecosystem?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Allushta [10]3 years ago
6 0
Food chains allow energy to move through an ecosystem. For example, energy is transferred from organism to organism such as the sun gives energy to grass, grass gives energy to grasshoppers when they eat grass, mice eat grasshoppers, and snakes eat mice, eagles or bigger birds of prey eat snakes. A technique discovered by Charles Elton named energy pyramids display how energy is dispersed on a pyramid starting from producers to tertiary consumers. An example of a producer would be grass, primary consumer would be a grasshopper (herbivores), a secondary consumer would be a mouse/mice (eat herbivores), and a tertiary consumer (eat secondary consumers) would be an owl. Starting from the bottom of the energy pyramid (producers) to the top (tertiary consumers) it 10% of energy is available to travel up the pyramid. That is your scientific explanation!

Radio waves travel at the speed of light which is 3.00 x 10^8. How many minutes does it take for a radio message to reach saturn
ryzh [129]

Answer:

43.89 min

Explanation:

Given that:-

The speed of light = 3.00\times 10^8\ m/s

The distance = 7.9\times 10^8\ km

The conversion of distance in km to distance into m is shown below as:-

1 km = 1000 m

So,

Distance = 7.9\times 10^8\times 1000\ m=7.9\times 10^{11}\ m

The relation between speed distance and time is shown below as:-

Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}

Thus,

3.00\times 10^8=\frac{7.9\times 10^{11}}{Time}

300000000\times time=10^{11}\times \:7.9\ s

Time = 2633.33 seconds

Also, 1 s = 1/60 min

So,

Time=\frac{2633.33}{60}\ min=43.89\ min

Predict the products when cyclohexanol is dehydrated.
lubasha [3.4K]
<span>When cyclohexanol is dehydrated using various means it creates a new hydrocarbon. This new hydrocarbon is called cyclohexene. Cyclohexene is a liquid which has no color, yet has a very strong smell to it. It is used in common industrial processes, but is also considered somewhat unstable due to it's tendency to form peroxides when exposed to light.</span>
