Energy moves from one trophic level to another as organisms feed on one another.
Explanation:
Energy flows from one trophic level to another in a food chain. according to the ten percent law, only ten percent of the total energy passes onto the next trophic level. While studying the energy flow model two aspects should be taken under consideration. Firstly, the flow of energy is unidirectional and passes on from autotrophs to primary consumer and then secontary, tertiary so on. Secondly the amount of energy decreases at succesive trophic level.
Answer:
Algal blooms can reduce the ability of fish and other aquatic life to find food and can cause entire populations to leave an area or even die. ... Nutrient pollution fuels the growth of harmful algal blooms which have negative impacts on aquatic ecosystems.
Explanation:
The “powerhouses” of the cell, mitochondria are oval-shaped organelles found in most eukaryotic cells. As the site of cellular respiration, mitochondria serve to transform molecules such as glucose into an energy molecule known as ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
Temperature inversion or thermal inversion is a phenomenon during which the temperature increase when there is an increase in the altitude. It is an uncommon process that happens in the troposphere-the layer of atmosphere closest to the earth.
When there is an increase in temperature with altitude, that warm air acts as a blockage for the cool air near the surface of the earth. So this is just opposite to the normal behavior of the air, where it becomes cooler with an increase in altitude.
So how air circulation behaves during inversion?
So as we said that the cool air nearer to the earth will be blocked by a layer of warm air. This blockage will hinder the circulation of air upwards from the lower layers. Let’s see how:
• As we know that, warm air is less dense and more buyout than cool air and normally less dense warm air is close to the earth and cool air is in above layers. But when the process is reversed, this warm air acts like a blanket for the proper circulation of air. Due to this, many environmental pollutants which normally leave the earth during air circulation get trapped in our air.
• The trapped environmental pollutants like nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons get convert into harmful ozone that ultimately deteriorates the quality of air and causes problems like smog.
• The improper air circulation also causes suspension of the harmful gases near the earth instead of allowing them to leave the earth atmosphere. This ultimately causes air pollution.
• When smoke will not rise, carbon dioxide will be build up in the atmosphere; this will cause greenhouse effect and global warming.
Therefore, air circulation behaves very different during temperature inversion process and poses hazardous effects on global climate.
Hope it helps! :)
A maybe sounds abt right sorry if it's wrong.
