Answer: 5 calories

Explanation: The producers are self feeders that make their own food by the help of the process known as photosynthesis.

The energy from the producers are transferred from producers to consumers when they eat them. All the energy from the producers are not transferred to consumers.

So, only 10% of the energy are transferred from the previous level to another level. If the rabbit is having 500 calories then the snake will have 50 calories( 10% of 500)

Hawk will get 5 calories which is 10% of 50 calories.

10% of energy is lost (to heat), for each level of the food chain. So the rabbit would have 500, the snake would have 50 and the hawk would have 5.

Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.

Explanation:

Genetic research is done on human DNA to know the genes and environmental factors associated with certain disease.

Institutional review board (IRB) is the regulatory authority to protect the rights of subjects invloved in a resaerch.

The genetic reaerches usually involve families, so the researcher subjects and the result of research is related to all subjects that cause increased information flow between subjects and effect their decision to partcipate independently in research.

lora16 [44]

Answer:

1. Improvements in telecommunication

2. Improvements in global travel

Explanation:

Global culture refers to <u>the transmission of beliefs, values, and ideas around the world that has a significant impact in the behavior of society</u>. This has been evolving through time, especially since the Industrial Revolution. Today, we are capable of communicating with other people as quickly and easy as ever in the history of humanity and this will keep evolving as technology evolves as well.

This evolution is due to science and technology, especially to the improvements in telecommunication, which <u>enables us to communicate with people from other countries through calls, social media messagings, e-mails, etc.</u>, and to the improvements in global travel, which is <u>much more accessible today than it was before, allowing individuals to move from one country to the other easily and constantly and improving socialization between people from different cultures and backgrounds.</u>
