From the total energy that reaches the ground, 1% is used by producers. The energy transference in the trophic web follows the 10% rule, in which each level uses 10% of the energy stored by the anterior level.

---------------------------------------

  • Only 1% of the total solar energy that reaches the ground is used by producers, who occupy the first trophic level.

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

  • At each trophic level, it occurs an energy transfer from one level to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule".

  • This is, 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.

  • The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).  

If <u>30,000,000 MJ</u> of Sunlight (solar energy) reaches ground, then only <u>30,000 MJ</u> can be absorbed by primary producers.

<u>5,216.4 MJ</u> from 52,164 MJ of energy stored in the <u>soybeans</u>, are used by cattle.

 

1,645 MJ of energy is stored in edible beef by cattle who eat the soybeans.

<u>164.5 MJ </u>of this energy is tranferred to the following trophic level.

sasho [114]

Mendel was able to attribute the variation observed in the offspring of his experiment to the controlled fertilization process.

Mendel was able to control pollination and, thus, the fertilization process in the pea plants used for his experiment.

Mendel was able to effectively predict the outcome with self-pollination or cross-pollination with different results coming from each. Thus, he logically concluded that the variation observed in the offspring of his crosses is due to the fact that he controlled the fertilization process.

How does the mining industry make use of bacteria?
blagie [28]

Answer:

Using Bacteria such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to leach copper from mine tailings has improved recovery rates and reduced operating costs. Microbial leaching is especially useful for copper ores because copper sulfate, as formed during the oxidation of copper sulfide ores, is very water-soluble.
