Answer:
Only 10% of the mass and energy is transferred
Explanation:
In a food chain, organism at a certain trophic level, obtain nutrition and energy from organism lying at its preceding trophic level.
As per the rule of energy pyramid, a higher organism feeding on any low level organism in a given food chain obtain only 10% of the total energy. The remaining 90% of the energy remains with the organism to carry out its metabolic processes including decomposition or self destruction.
5. The answer is D. Non-renewable resources lay be cheap, but they release harmful carbon dioxide, which pollutes the environment. And eventually, they will run out. They are, as the name suggests, non-renewable.
6. The answer is A. Renewable resources are harder and more expensive to harvest, but they are unlimited and cause little to no harm to the environment, depending what resource you are using.
7. The answer is A. Particular renewable resources ( i.e sunlight or geothermal energy) are unreliable and can only be found in the right places under the right conditions (i.e on a sunny day or a geyser). They're also more expensive since they're harder to access/convert into electricity.
8. The correct answers are D and E.
Technology helps us predict future problems and solve them before they even happen, and things like solar panels and dams help us use alternative energy, which is much better for the environment than things like coal or oil.
9. The correct answers are A and D. Biodiesel is made from various oils and animal fats (unwanted waste), and it is renewable.
10. The correct answer is A. Biodiesel is more expensive to make than regular diesel, and more facilities would have to be built.
Good luck on your assignment!
Answer:
Where's the picture? or explanation?
Planet X
Explanation:
The orbital radii of planet X is the smallest which means that is closest to the sun. The distance to the star determines the temperature of the planet. Closer the planet, more likely it would have higher temperature. So planet X has highest temperature most likely.
In the solar system, there is exception, mercury is closest to sun but Venus which is the second planet from the sun has highest temperature. This is because mercury has no atmosphere and Venus has very thick atmosphere which traps the solar radiation and heats up.
