Suppose a fox in a food web feeds only on rabbits, squirrels, mice and birds, all of which feed exclusively on plant material. A

ssuming that a fox’s daily caloric requirement is 800 kcal, and that only 10 percent of the energy at one trophic level can be passed to the next trophic level. How many square meters of plant material are required to support the fox, if the net primary productivity of the plant material is 8,000 kcal/m2/yr? Hint: draw the food chain to determine how many kcal/m2/yr the fox receives to determine how much land he needs and remember the 10% rule!

Answer:

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = 3650 m²

Explanation:

From the given information:

the daily caloric requirement of the fox = 800  

In a year, we have = 800 kcal × 365 /year = 292,000 kcal/year

Also, only 10% of the energy at a particular trophic level can be passed onto the next.

the net productivity of the plant material = 8000 kcal/m²/yr

So, using 10% of energy at a particular level, the fox only need 80 kcal/m²/yr

The objective is to determine in square meters, how many materials are required to support the fox.

square metres of plant materials required to support the fox = \dfrac{292,000}{80}

= 3650 m²

illustrate a brief distinction between accidents and risky behaviours and give one relevant example for each/4909263/cdd31c2e?ut
marin [14]

The clear distinction between accident and Risky Behavior is that Accidents are not much predictable or at times not at all predictable while risky behaviors are.<span>
For example a person climbing a staircase may slip and fell on the floor is an example of accident where the person did not predict at all if that is going to happen.
<span>In risky behavior a person may start consuming alcohol which he/she knows can get him into some specific kind of trouble but still he/she dos that, or someone skips class to attend to some other need knowing the risk but still takes it.</span></span>

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

I believe the options are:

A.chemical energy in the bonds of food molecules

B.carbon energy in molecules of carbon dioxide

C.solar energy in the rays of sunlight

D.electrical energy in the form of hydrogen ions

The correct answer is A. Chemical energy in the bonds of food molecules

Explanation:

Glycolysis, Krebs Cycle and electron transport chain are the major steps in cellular respiration. Cellular respiration is the break down of sugars, particularly glucose into energy yielding molecules such as ATP, NADH and FADH2.

C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP

zzz [600]

A cognitive psychologist conducts a study to examine differences in cognitive functioning across stages of adulthood. He opts to  study one group of young adults ages 21-28. one group of middle-aged adults aged 41-48, and one group of older adults ages 61- 68- The psychologist finding that  that the middle age  group outperforms the older group is a valid criticism to the study's conclusion

Explanation:

A cognitive psychologist concludes that age relates to cognitive performance on these tasks.This statement means that as a person age's its ability to perform the cognitive task declines .In the study conducted between the various age group the cognitive psychologist where able to find that the people in their middle age (i.e. between 41-48) were able to perform the cognitive task is a better way than the people in the older group. and the younger group was able to perform the cognitive task much better than the middle and the old age group.

Now their is no need for the  comparison of the middle age and the old age people for performing the task because as er the conclusion the cognitive skills decline with the age.

So,the psychologist finding that  that the middle age  group outperforms the older group is a valid criticism to the study's conclusion
