Answer:

a. Approximately 1,003 weasels, 3,345 mice and 16,729 wheat plants per one hawk are in the ecosystem

Explanation:

The percentage of the weasel population eaten by a hawk = 30%

The percentage of the mouse population eaten by a weasel = 30%

The percentage of the wheat plants population eaten by a mice = 20%

a. One hawk needs 330 kJ of energy per day, which gives 330 kJ × 365 = 120,450 kJ per year

Let 'x' represent the number of weasels to support one hawk, we have;

0.3 × x = 120,450 kJ/year/(400 kJ) = 301.125

x = 301.125/0.3 = 1,003.75

The number of weasels required to support one hawk per year ≈ 1,003 weasels

The total weasels ≈ 1,003

ii) The number of mice needed, y = x/0.3 = 1,003.75/0.3 = 3,345.8\overline 3

The total mice, y ≈ 3,345 mice

iii) The number of wheat flower needed, z = y/0.2

∴ The number of wheat flower needed, z = 3,345.8\overline 3/0.2 ≈ 16,729.1\overline 6

The total wheat plants ≈ 16,729.

If you were planting a vegetable garden, what should you consider for the time of planting?
zvonat [6]

When planting vegetables it is very important to know the climate of the area, its usual patterns, and how will that affect the growth and development of the crops. The soil quality too is very important, as it is the basis for the development of the root-stock of the crops.

If we have a temperate type of climate, than we have four different seasons, meaning different weather patterns throughout the year. We can take onions, radish, and peppers as vegetables of choice. The onions can be planted in mid-autumn, as they will need more moisture, and they are resilient to low temperatures, thus will not have problems in the winter, and in the spring they will already have the basis so will grow quickly and be larger. The radish can be planet in late winter or early spring, in a period when there is more precipitation. It is not a vegetable that likes high temperatures, so with its quick development, it will be able to develop the tuber by late spring. The peppers can not sustain low temperatures, so they should be planted in late spring. They also like warm weather and lot of water, so it will be needed to water them a lot in the hot and dry period. They will manage to develop and produce the vegetables by the end of the summer, thus not getting damaged by the cold nights in the autumn.

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

<em>The correct option is B) undergo global warming at the same rate as we are seeing currently</em>

Explanation:

The Sun and the volcanoes play a great role in controlling our environment and climate even today. The quantity of the rays of the sun hitting the different parts of the Earth determines what the average weather or climate of a region would be. The volcanoes that erupt from the Earth have been a cause for global warming even today and will continue to raise the temperature of the Earth.

Which type of macromolecule makes up the capsid of a virus
Elenna [48]

Protein

Proteins are the most versatile macromolecules in living systems and they play important roles in essentially all biological processes. Protein makes up the capsid of a virus. The infective extracellular form of a virus known as a virion contains at least one unique protein synthesized by specific genes in the nucleic acid of that virus. In almost all viruses, at least one of these proteins forms a shell (called a capsid) around the nucleic acid. Certain viruses also have other proteins internal to the capsid. Some of these proteins act as enzymes during the synthesis of viral nucleic acids.
