Answer:
b) 1,000
Explanation:
In a typical food chain as described in this question, flow of energy occurs from one organism to another when they feed/fed upon. As one organism feeds, energy gets transferred to it. However, only about 10% of the available energy in the lower trophic level gets transferred because majority of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat during metabolic processes of the organism.
Hence, if a flower contains approximately 100,000 units of energy and is fed on by butterflies. 10% of 100, 000 = 10,000 units gets transferred to the butterflies.
Likewise, the butterflies gets fed on by certain bird species. 10% of the available 10,000 units of energy in the butterfly gets transferred to the birds.
= 10/100 × 10,000 = 1000 units of energy.
Answer:
The statement that best describes the graph is Carla slowed down in the beginning of her trip, stopped, and then sped up.
Explanation:
Data:
Horizontal axis = time.
Vertical axis = velocity (m/s).
A line runs in straight segments
- <em>from 0 seconds 15 m/s.</em>
- <em>to 1 seconds 13 m/s.</em>
- <em>to 2 seconds 10 m/s.</em>
- <em>to 3 seconds 4 m/s.</em>
- <em>to 4 seconds 0 m/s.</em>
- <em>to 6 seconds 4 m/s.</em>
According to the data present in the graph, it can be seen that Carla starts with a speed in her career, which decreases over time. After four seconds she stops, remains stopped for one second and starts running again, with an initial speed of 4 m/s.
<em>In conclusion, the graph show Carla -who is moving- slows down until she stops, and then starts the race again.</em>
