Energy that is not passed on from one trophic level to the next is _______. a. lost as heat b. returned to the sun c. destroyed d. all of the above

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm thinking d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FAN AND MEDAL TO WHOEVER HELPS!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is lost as heat

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you!!! can you help me check a few more?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem and sure.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the food chain shown, which of the following changes between trophic levels would have the highest energy conversion efficiency? a. leaf to mouse b. mouse to snake c. snake to hawk d. all changes would have the same efficiency (ill post the pic of the food chain too)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but i'm thinking d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Its D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which one? the one with the food chain?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I believe it would be A because every trophic level, 10% of the energy is lost. So, A would be the one to have the most energy.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I might be reading the question wrong.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

yah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is the least efficient of the tropic levels with an average conversion of _____. a. 1 – 5% b. 0.5 – 1% c. 7 – 12% d. 15 – 20%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that one i'm not sure on, but i was thinking b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@SummerNS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It would be B I think. The one with the food chain is definitely A though.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Don't know this one, sorry ? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay i just have a few more, do you mind helping check them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How are gross production and net production different? a. Net production is always greater than gross production. b.Net production is always less than gross production. c. Only animals have net production. d. Only plants have net production.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one i was thinking d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is d. Net Production is sunlight through photosynthesis so it's definitely d.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

woohoo!! thank you :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why is a system’s work output limited? a. Entropy decreases with each stage of a system, causing a decrease in available entropy to carry out each stage. b. Systems tend to become less randomized over time, which causes spontaneous processes to no longer occur. c. Energy is destroyed in each stage, causing the amount of available energy to decrease with each stage. d. Energy is lost as heat in each stage, causing the amount of energy available to decrease with each stage.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one i was thinking d?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c or d? i'm not 100% sure.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D I believe

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok and this one: TRUE OR FALSE: Gross production is the amount of energy left after cellular respiration.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking true?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following levels is the most efficient at energy conversion? a. producers b. primary consumers c. secondary consumers d. tertiary consumers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this one i was thinking A?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree. I think it's A also.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Yup, its A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

TRUE OR FALSE: Producers are the primary living source of energy in a food web.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i was thinking true?

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Yup its True

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it's true.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Which of the following is the most likely flow of energy in an aquatic ecosystem? a. phytoplankton ® fish ® zooplankton ® mammal b. phytoplankton ® zooplankton ® fish ® mammal c. zooplankton ® phytoplankton ® mammal ® fish d. mammal ® fish ® zooplankton ® phytoplankton

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thinking b?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it's B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

last one, true or false: Energy in an ecosystem flow from consumers to producers.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thinking false?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

False

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Energy flows from the bottom of the food chain to the top.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Tup, its False

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Good Job @SummerNS

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks you too @KendrickLamar2014

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats all for now :) thank you both so much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No problem. Anytime.

OpenStudy (kendricklamar2014):

Thank you

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

hehehehehehe
