Answer:

0.1% of energy

Explanation:

Energy flow: From the whole quantity of energy that reaches the earth's surface, autotroph organisms or producers absorb only 0.1 or 1%.

From the input of solar energy begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is dissipated in the environment.  

At each trophic level occurs an energy transfer to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule". As a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

If wheat transferred 10% of the energy to mice, and of that 10% mice transferred 10% of the energy to hawk, then the percentage of energy transferred from the first trophic level to the third equals 0.1%.

10% (1st TL-2nd TL) / 10% (2nd TL - 3rd TL) = 0.1% (1stTL - 3rd TL)

<em>TL = Trophic level           </em>

Image 1.1 -

Stomata are little moth-like structures in leaves, that, when open, allow the exchange of gases between the plant and the exterior.

Answer:

B.

Image 1.2 -

Without the existance of stomata, the process of transpiration wouldn't be possible if there weren't structures thata allowed the exchange of gases.

Answer:

A.

Image 2 -

So, we can elminate plants because they can photosynthesise; bacteria because they are prokaryotes and can photosynthesise; archaea because they are prokaryotes; hat leaves us with animals and fungi because these cannot photosynthesise and are both eukaryotes.

But, we cannot skip information. It is also said that the organism found has a cell wall, and animals do not have cell walls.

Answer:

C.

Image 4 -

Option 1 = cilia

Option 2 = flagella

Option 3 = pseudopods

Option 4 = pili (they're a meant to attacht to surfaces only bacteria)

Image 5 -

Runner stems are those that grow horizontally, therefore the fourth image with the long horizontal stems.

Rhizome stems are underground stems that can form roots or shoots through their nodes. Therefore, the third image with white background (the one with 2 drawn plants).

Tuber stems are large underground (mostly) structures used as storages for the plant. Therefore, this corresponds to the first image (the one with the white background.

Bulb stems are short and "bulby" stems, whith thick, leaves. Therefore, the second image (the one with the grass background).

Hope it helped,

5. List three mechanisms by which Earth's albedo can be increased.
KIM [24]

Explanation:

1. A decrease in the number of greenhouse gases that humans produce will result in lowered global temperatures. This will allow the ice sheets in the polar regions to increase increasing also albedo.

2. Using light-colored building materials on houses and pavement in urban centers will work towards increasing albedo as more sunlight is refelcted back by built environments.

3. Decreased deforestation/increase in aforestation increases the earth’s sirface albedo because vegetation reflects back more sunlight than the earth’s bare surface.
