The brain represents 2% of the total body weight for a human. But it uses 20% of the total oxygen and calories absorbed by the body (so ten times more than its weight ratio) it proves that it is an important organ that need a lot of energy.

The brain is the seat of higher functions (cognitive functions, senses, nervous responses) and vegetative functions. It is, therefore, an essential organ that regulates all vital functions. Like a central unit in a desk computer, the brain receives information from the entire human body via afferent nerves, integrates and analyzes them, and responds by emitting new signals that descend to the parts of the body concerned by the efferent nerves.

Which method do you think best represents energy flow through ecosystems? Why?
pentagon [3]

Answer:

The circle of life, in which energy flows into the world from the sun, giving plants that energy to live.  All of the organisms in an ecosystem are chemical machines driven by the energy captured in photosynthesis. The organisms that first capture energy, the producers, include plants, some kinds of bacteria, and algae. All other organisms in an ecosystem are consumers.

The plants energy will then be transferred to a small animal, most likely a rabbit or maybe a mouse; depending on the plant. The small animal will then be eaten by a bigger more dominating animal like an eagle or a snake. It just goes on and on. The eagle or the snake will get eaten by a bigger animal or will decompose into the earth giving the soil and plants around it that same energy.
