Invertebrates have a higher net production efficiency than mammals. Which statement most likely explains this observation? A. Invertebrates are more abundant than mammals in an ecosystem. B. Mammals maintain their body temperature; invertebrates don't. C. Most mammals are secondary consumers. Most invertebrates are primary consumers. D. Invertebrates have smaller bodies than mammals.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Most mammals are secondary consumers. Most invertebrates are primary consumers.

Explanation:

Net production efficiency (NPE) refers to how efficient an organism at one trophic level is in utilizing and transferring energy to the next trophic level. Consumer organisms obtain energy (from biomass) when they feed on other organisms. They then use this energy for their metabolic activities and transfer the rest when eaten or fed on.

The net production efficiency decreases with increasing trophic level because higher organisms use more energy than lower ones. In this case, invertebrates use energy they obtained lesser or more efficiently than mammals, hence, making them have a HIGHER net production efficiency than mammals. Therefore, invertebrates are mostly primary consumers and utilize energy lesser than mammals which are mostly SECONDARY CONSUMERS.

Complete dominance occurs when the dominant allele completely masks the recessive allele in heter0zyg0us individuals. 1) 100% / 2) no chance / 3) 50% / 4) no chance / 5) 1:2:1.

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

Available data:

→ Six diallelic genes code for six different traits.

→ All genes express complete dominance, meaning that the dominant allele hides the expression of the recessive one.

→ Beyonce ⇒ ee ww Dd Hh cc Bb

→ Bruno Mars ⇒ ee ww dd Hh CC Bb

→ Cross:  Beyonce x Bruno Mars

Answer: The question is incomplete as the options are not given but the options is gotten from another websites.

1 .As bike tires roll across the sidewalk, friction is created and they become warmer.

2. Solar energy from the sun is absorbed by solar panels, which transforms to chemical energy when it is used as electricity.

3. As food is digested, molecule bonds are broken, allowing new molecules to form that can be used by our bodies.

4. Energy stored in organic fuels are used for heat and electricity/ When batteries are connected to a circuit, a reaction occurs inside the cell producing electrical energy.

5. Thermal energy causes energy stored in fireworks to convert to kinetic, light, and sound energy.

The correct options are 3 and 4.

3. As food is digested, molecule bonds are broken, allowing new molecules to form that can be used by our bodies.

4. Energy stored in organic fuels are used for heat and electricity/ When batteries are connected to a circuit, a reaction occurs inside the cell producing electrical energy.

Explanation:

Chemical energy is stored in food but when the food is broken down into smaller pieces or nutrients by the process of digestion, chemical energy are released which is use to drive different body functions or mechanisms.

Chemical energy are stored in circuits. When these circuits are connected to battery, the chemical energy are released and these energy are then converted to electrical energy to produce heat or light .

Bryophytes were the first land plants on earth including the mosses and liverworts, these plants did not had the vascular system and true roots, stems, and leaves.  Pteridophytes are the plants that have vascular system. Gymnosperms are the plants that have naked ovules and the seeds are enclosed in the woody covering called cone. The angiosperms are the flowering plants, which develops seeds after fertilization gets enclosed in a fruit.

path 1

path 2

path 3

Answers

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

1. Path A (Atmosphere) :

Carbon Path: Atmospheric CO2: this arises from geological sources such as volcanoes, burning fossil fuels, etc. This gets carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere during these processes.

2. Path G (Geosphere)

Carbon Path: Lithosphere: Earth’s carbon has been researched to have large limestone deposits. This limestone can be found in the Earth's lithosphere. Through the heating of limestone, carbon dioxide gets back to the atmosphere.

3. Path H (Hydrosphere)

Carbon Path: Oceania CO2: there is a large deposit of dissolved CO2 underneath the ocean. As the ocean gets colder, it dissolves more. The plants absorbed carbon dioxide through photosynthesis and get back to the atmosphere

The earth's atmosphere has layers: the exosphere, thermosphere, mesosphere, stratosphere, and troposphere from highest to lowest levels.

These layers are composed of Nitrogen, oxygen, other gases and are defined by unique characteristics of temperature and pressure.

1. Path A (Atmosphere)

The carbon path in this layer involves atmospheric carbon dioxide. The burning of fossil fuels like petrol, coal, diesel, volcanic explosions and wildfires brings back the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere during these processes.

2. Path G (Geosphere)

The carbon path involves the lithosphere. Expiration by plant and animal, burning of carbonate rocks like limestone, shale gas and coal release carbon which get backs in the atmosphere.

3. Path H (Hydrosphere)

The carbon path involves oceanic carbon dioxide. Ocean and water bodies have enormous amounts of dissolved carbon in them. Aquatic plants use this diffused carbon dioxide and free it back into the atmosphere.
