Answer:

Primary consumer = 100kcal

Secondary consumer = 10kcal

Tertiary consumer = 1kcal

Step-by-step explanation:

In a food chain, transfer of energy occurs when one organism feeds on another organism. However, only 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because energy is lost as heat when the organisms perform metabolism.

In a typical food chain consisting of a producer, a primary (1st), secondary (2nd) and tertiary (3rd) consumer, if there are 1000 kcal of energy available in the producer, then:

- Primary consumer will obtain; 10% of 1000Kcal

10/100 × 1000

Primary consumer = 100kcal of energy.

- Secondary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 100kcal available energy

= 10/100 × 100

Secondary consumer = 10Kcal of energy.

- Tertiary consumer will obtain as follows; 10% of 10Kcal of available energy.

= 10/100 × 10

Tertiary consumer = 1 kcal of energy.

Which equation has a solution of n = 4?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

D. 7n = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's substitute 4 for n in each equation to check if it the resulting equation is correct:

6+n=24\\ 6+4=24\\ 10\neq 24\rightarrow \text{Incorrect!}

5n=54\\5(4)=54\\20\neq54\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}

12-n=16\\12-4=16\\8\neq16\rightarrow\text{Incorrect!}

7n=28\\7(4)=28\\28=28\rightarrow\text{Correct!}

Therefore the answer is D

The circle P has a center at (0, 0) and a point on the circle at (0, 4). If it is dilated by a factor of 4, what is the distance
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

A. 32

Step-by-step explanation:

If the center is (0, 0) and a point is (0, 4) then the distance from the center to that point is 4 units. That distance is the radius. If you are dilating by a factor of 4, multiply the radius by 4 and you get 16. The new radius is 16 and the diameter= radius*2.

16*2=32
