Biology
2 answers:
Vinil7 [7]3 years ago

Answer: Option (D) and (E) are the correct answers.

Explanation:

Water is a polar solvent and it is known that like dissolves like. Hence, polar solutes easily dissolve in water.

For example, alcohols, amines etc are polar solvents.

Whereas hydrocarbons like methane, ethane, benzene etc have covalent bonding in their atoms. Hence, they are non-polar in nature due to which they are unable to dissolve in water or any other polar solvent.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options CH3CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2 CH2OH and C5H10O5 will dissolve in water based on polarity.

water interacts with polar substances such as -OH groups but not with non polar substance such as CH3. Based on polarity, D and E have high polarity and dissolve in water.

What is the difference in trophic level efficiency between herbivores and Carnivores?
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Herbivores eat plants who are the major producers of chemical energy in the ecosystem. Plants undergo photosynthesis through sunlight(solar energy) and other compounds such as Carbon dioxide and Water to give Oxygen and Glucose. The herbivores eat the plants directly and are able to utilize a greater percentage of energy. Carnivores eat the herbivores and get energy but in a lesser form compared to the herbivores.

This simply means trophic level efficiency in the ecosystem is higher for herbivores and lower for the carnivores.
