In relation to energy transfer in ecosystem,explain the statement"10kg of deer's meat is equivalent to 1kg of lion's flesh".
What is meant by energy flow in an ecosystem? What are the laws of
thermodynamics?
please draw!!!
Start with a photon of sunlight and a carbon atom in a molecule of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere: model/diagram their pathway from that starting point to their final destination as a glucose molecule that is used for energy in a cell in the plant root. Following your diagram/model, provide a written explanation for what your diagram/model depicts. Make sure both your model and explanation are clear, concise, and have the appropriate level of detail to clearly demonstrate you understand photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and the movement of mass and energy in plants.
PLEASE INCLUDE , how does energy end up in the plant stem?

- Q1.7. According to the first law of thermodynamics, energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Which of the following statements describes how the Sankey diagram illustrates this law? O The sum of the widths of arrows flowing into plants equals the sum of the widths of arrows flowing out. O Each process loses energy as heat. Some solar energy is never absorbed by plantsarrow_forwardEVOLUTION LINK Some have argued that evolution is impossible because the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy always increases; therefore natural processes cannot give rise to greater complexity. In what ways is this statement a misunderstanding of the laws of thermodynamics?arrow_forwardExplain how energy flow supports the second law of thermodynamics in an ecosystem.arrow_forward
- Q1) For primary producers such as plants, photosynthesis requires carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and sunlight. As a result of photosynthesis, plants produce glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The CO2 is used to make glucose. Energy from sunlight is used to power the reaction that creates the glucose molecules. The data set below is the results of a study that investigated how light intensity (distance from a light source; cm) affects photosynthesis (bubble production; #O2 bubbles) in Elodea (aquatic plant). # of bubbles produced @ 5 cm # of bubbles produced @ 10 cm # of bubbles produced @ 20 cm # of bubbles produced @ 30 cm Group 1 0 9 7 0 Group 2 2 12 6 3 Group 3 2 9 9 2 Group 4 0 8 10 0 Group 5 1 10 7 5 Group 6 3 13 4 4 Group 7 3 10 8 4 Please identify the independent variable and the dependent variable in this study.

NOTE- include the steps of photosynthesis (light-dependent reactions, ETC, Calvin cycle) and the inputs and outputs at each. Then, need to explain how sugar gets transported from the leaf to be used in cell respiration in the root. Then need to diagram cell respiration, including each stage and the inputs and outputs.arrow_forwardplz explain in details. Organisms must do tasks in order to survive. This work requires either light for photosynthesis or the chemical potential energy of organic molecules as an energy input. Explain the necessity for energy in living organisms and provide two (2) examples. Explain the oxidative phosphorylation process, particularly the involvement of oxygen. Discuss the generation of a low yield of ATP from anaerobic respiration and the formation of lactate in mammals.arrow_forwardPlease answer fast Many commercial herbicides act by inhibiting photosynthetic electron transport. They are investigating three herbicides for potential inhibitors of photosynthetic electron transport. a) How can you determine whether these substances have an inhibitory effect on photosynthetic electron transport? How can you quantify the effect? b) An inhibitor has produced a strong effect in "in vitro" tests, but the effect is significantly less in "in vivo" tests. What can be the reason for the reduced effect "in vivo"?arrow_forward
