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

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

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

164.5 MJ of this energy is tranferred to the following trophic level.

Approximately how far apart were north america and europe 200,000 years ago

Ne4ueva [31]

The correct answer is - 1,180 km.

North America and Europe move away from one another, though on the other end of the plates, the Eurasian and the North American plates are actually merging. Since the rate of moving away is 2 cm per year, and the current distance is 1,184 km between North America and Europe, the distance between them 200,000 years ago was 1,180 km.

To get to the result we only need to multiply the number of years with the annual movement

2 x 200,000 = 400,000

Then divide the result with 100,000, as that is how much cm are in one km

400,000 / 100,000 = 4

And we get 4 km, in this case 4 km less, thus the distance between the two, 200,000 years ago, was 1,180 km.

When a child takes large steps that can exceed their leg length, it may mean they?

kenny6666 [7]

If a child takes large steps which exceeds his or her length, it may mean that he is more advanced or he simply has more walking experience than a normal length walking child.

Increased step length it shows a sign of improvement in the development of walking. In addition, I can say that large steps are reflected more strength and also balance than he had previously been supposed for the infants who are training themselves on how to walk.
