Starting from the sun, create a food chain including at least three organisms. Explain how energy is transferred through the cha
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The food chain showing seven organisms can be drawn as follows:

Plants → grasshoppers → mice → frog → snakes→ eagles → decomposers

The plants are the primary source of food in a food chain or a food web. The animals which feed on plants will be termed as herbivores or primary consumers like the grasshopper. The organisms feeding on primary consumers will be the secondary consumers like mice.

An energy pyramid for three of the organisms can be shown as follows:

              mice (10 kilocalories)

                   ↑

        Grasshoppers (100 kilocalories)

                   ↑

       Plants ( 1000 kilocalories)

As the energy pyramid shows, only about 10% of the energy travels from one trophic level to another.

According to the image below, which season is about to begin in the northern hemisphere?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

winter

Explanation:

On this image, we can see the Earth being tilted away by 23.5 degrees from the Sun. This tilting puts the Northern Hemisphere in a situation where it is the one that is tilted away from the Sun, thus it will receive less sunlight, as well as less direct sunlight. That will cause lower temperatures on the Northern Hemisphere, thus the winter season will start, and it will last for around three months, at least at the mid-latitude zones. On the other side, the Southern Hemisphere is more exposed to the Sun during this tilting, so t receives more sunlight, and more direct sunlight, resulting in summer in this half of the planet.

Why is salt not allowed to pass through the cell membrane?
xxTIMURxx [149]
Salt molecules are much smaller than starch molecules and can pass through more easily. ... Thus, they are quite large molecules in contrast to the relatively small salt molecules. The smaller salt molecules pass through the membrane easily, but the larger starch molecules cannot pass through the membrane.
