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.

Write a summary of the role of RNA and how RNA is synthesized
monitta
RNA, touches nearly everything in a cell. RNA carries out a broad range of functions, from translating genetic information into the molecular machines and structures of the cell to regulating the activity of genes during development, cellular differentiation, and changing environments. RNA is usually catalyzed by an enzyme. RNA polymerase using DNA as a template, a process known as transcription. The enzyme then progresses along the template strand.

sattari [20]
<h2>Answer is option "b"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Non-ionizing radiation is radiation that has a lower frequency, or longer wavelength, in the EMR spectrum. These frequencies range from that of power lines, radios, and cell phones, up to visible light. Non-ionizing radiation is not powerful enough to break the chemical bonds in molecules. In general, it is not harmful to human health as radiation per se, but could be harmful in terms of the transfer of heat energy. An example of an emitter of non-ionizing radiation is a microwave oven.
  • Non-ionizing radiation is less harmful because the rays carry much less energy. Radio waves, light, and even heat are examples of non-ionizing radiation. For the most part, these kinds of radiation do not cause any damage. However, ultraviolet light is a kind of non-ionizing radiation that can be harmful - it can cause mutations in DNA
  • Non-ionizing radiation is limited to the lower energy range electromagnetic radiation, which is more commonly known as light. However, the light we can see with our eyes, visible light, is only a small section of the electromagnetic radiation spectrum as seen here
  • Hence the right answer is option "b"
