Explain why do you think most energy pyramids have less than five levels?

Biology

zlopas [31]3 years ago

The amount of energy available as one moves up the energy pyramid decreases substantially.
Explanation:
At each trophic level, energy is lost primarily through heat loss and respiration.
In the image below, 100% of the energy from the plant is not available to the deer. As we move further from the primary producer (in the image below, the green plant), less and less energy is transferred.

•Address the letter to the editor of a local newspaper.
Julli [10]

The answer is; hydrothermal, geothermal, and wind

Hydrothermal, taped from the biggest river on the state contributes approximately 60% of the energy in the state. Geothermal is second,approximately 30% while wind power contributes approximately 10%.


The costs of the electricity in the state are relatively cheap compared with states whose main source of energy is hydrocarbon fuels.   Geothermal power is the cheapest (even though initial investment is prohibitive). Hydrothermal is slightly expensive than geothermal due to the maintenance required and also  is prone to fluctuations of the river regime. Winds are also cheap but initial investment if the wind farm is high.



Hydrothermal energy has the biggest environmental impact compared to the other two. Due to the walls of the dam on the river, migration of some aquatic species is impeded. The reduced flow of water (and sediments) downstream of the dam also impact these ecosystems. Geothermal and wind energy sources have a very minimal environmental impact on the environment .


The state could increase electronics with low power consumption (such as LED lights) in the market for availability to the population. This would be followed by a sensitization campaign on the ideal use of power in the household to conserve power when not in use.

Amylase catalyzes a reaction with starch to directly create _______.
mario62 [17]

Maltose is produced instantly when amylase reacts with starch.

Starch is a polysaccharide molecule made of glucose units. The chemical formula of the starch is written as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ. The starch consists of amylose and amylopectin. The glucose units in this starch are linked with the help of two kinds of bonds α 1,4 glycosidic linkages and α 1,6 glycosidic linkages.

This starch molecule is first hydrolyzed into shorter polysaccharides, dextrins, and maltose with a help of an enzyme called amylase. The maltose can be further hydrolyzed into glucose units with the help of the maltase enzyme.

Therefore, the blank can be filled with maltose.

Compare actions of cocaine amphetamines and nicotine
Nookie1986 [14]
Nicotine on direct application in humans causes irritation and burning sensation in the mouth and throat, increased salivation, nausea, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea. Predominant immediate effects consist of increase in pulse rate and blood pressure. Nicotine also causes an increase in plasma free fatty acids, hyperglycemia, and an increase in the level of catecholamines in the blood. There is reduced coronary blood flow but an increased skeletal muscle blood flow. The increased rate of respiration causes hypothermia, a hypercoagulable state, decreases skin temperature, and increases the blood viscosity.

For amphetamine the immediate effects are quicker reaction times, feelings of energy/wakefulness, excitement, increased attentiveness and concentration, feelings of euphoria. Side effects of amphetamines can include heart palpitations, dry mouth, headache, hostility, nausea, cognitive impairment, severe anxiety, lack of appetite, teeth grinding, dizziness, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, rapid breathing rate, hypertension (high blood pressure), increased body temperature, erectile dysfunction, irregular heartbeat.

Cocaine causes a short-lived, intense high that is immediately followed by the opposite intense depression, edginess and a craving for more of the drug the side effects are Loss of appetite increased heart rate, blood pressure, body temperature, contracted blood vessels increased rate of breathing, dilated pupils, disturbed sleep patterns, nausea, hyperstimulation, bizarre, erratic, sometimes violent behavior hallucinations, hyperexcitability, irritability, tactile hallucination that creates the illusion of bugs burrowing under the skin, intense euphoria, anxiety and paranoia, depression, intense drug craving, panic and psychosis, convulsions, seizures and sudden death from high doses (even one time)
