In the ocean, light is used by phytoplankton in order to produce sugar. 10% of the energy from the sun is available to the zooplankton that eat the phytoplankton, the rest of the energy is lost as heat or through powering body building/functions/reproduction. Whatever eats the zooplankton receives 10% of that energy in order to grow
<u>Answer:</u> Step 2 in the given mechanism is the rate determining step
<u>Explanation:</u>
In a mechanism of the reaction, the slow step in the mechanism determines the rate of the reaction.
The intermediate reaction of the mechanism follows:
<u>Step 1:</u> 
<u>Step 2:</u> 
As, step 2 is the slow step. It is the rate determining step
Rate law for the reaction follows:
![\text{Rate}=k[O_3][O]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Ctext%7BRate%7D%3Dk%5BO_3%5D%5BO%5D)
Hence, step 2 in the given mechanism is the rate determining step
Answer
a
Explanation:
While the Arrhenius definition of a base agrees with this statement, the Bronsted-Lowry and Lewis definitions don't. Under Bronsted-Lowry, a base is anything that can accept a proton (ex// NH3). Under lewis, it is anything that can donate an electron (ex// Cl-).
Bases are usually bitter and turn red litmus paper blue, and are slippery.
He is missing a (real) control. Growing two plants without plant food at all doesn't count; in order to see if the new food is better, he must also grow plants with the original food in order to compare it.
He does have an independent variable. This is the type of plant food. It's independent because he has direct control over it.
He needs to give plants the same conditions besides food: same water (amount), same light exposure, same temperature, etc.
He needs to choose a quantitative way to measure how much the plants grew, like mass or length.
