Question
A bird eats sunflower seeds from a bird feeder on a snowy day. Of the 1000 J of energy that was in the consumed seeds, the bird stored 10 J of energy in its body, eliminated 150 J of energy in its waste, and used the remaining energy to respire. What is the production efficiency of this bird?
Useful equation: PE = Pn/An x 100

- Select all that apply about 02 and CO2. O Both are nonpolar molecules. Both can diffuse passively through cell membranes without the help of proteins. O Both are used in cellular respiration. Both are produced in cellular respiration. O Both are small molecules. O Both are hydrophilic molecules. O Oxygen (02) is a cellular respiration input and CO2 is an output. O Co2 is reduced and Oxygen (02) is the product of oxidation. Both are symmetrical molecules. Oxygen (02) gains electrons and is reduced . CO2 is the product of oxidation.arrow_forward. PREDATION has an After being stung by too many scorpions, you decide to shift your research focus to studying a predatory spider and its fly prey. After much careful work you find that the prey intrinsic rate of growth of 1-0.1, and the predator experiences a death rate of dp=0.5 in the absence of prey. Spiders prey on the flies at a rate of p=0.001 and convert their prey in to offspring at a rate of c=0.2. In the space below, plot the state space isoclines for each species. Be sure to label all axes and intercepts. this plot and the appropriate dN/dt equations, what are the short term dynamics of ton and prey populations with the following initial population sires?

The birds make each 11,500-kilometer (7,145-mile) trip by flying over the Pacific Ocean in about nine days, depending on weather, wind speed, and direction of uninterrupted, a feat that is comparable to a human running a nonstop seven-day marathon at 70 kilometer per hour (43.5 miles per hour). Would you expect the flight (breast) muscles of bar-tailed godwits to use mainly aerobic respiration or fermentation? Explain your answer.arrow_forward
- AP Environmental Science Primary Productivity Problems Net Primary Productivity efficiency can be calculated for terrestrial producers when values for insolation energy, respiration loss and gross productivity are known. Use the equations below to answer the following problems: Net Primary Productivity = Gross Productivity – Respiration Loss Efficiency = . NPP . X 100 Insolation Energy In a rice paddy in Southeast Asia, the insolation energy is 6,000,000 calories/m2/day. The gross productivity of the rice is 0.012 grams/cm2/day, and the respiration loss is 20 percent. One gram of rice is equivalent to 1000 calories. Calculate the net primary productivity of the rice. Find the efficiency of photosynthesis by the rice. Could you mostly help me set it up and find it? So I can learn how to do it.arrow_forwardWhere do random motion and active transport occur in cells?

- I'm studing Cellular Respiration. We did a lab. We had technical difficulties... our CO2 gas sensor wasn't working properly. So I am curious, what trends SHOULD I have seen. We compared the CO2 output of bean sprouts vs mealworms. We tested at both room temp (27 degrees C) vs cold temp (15 degrees C) for both the mealworms and bean sprouts. I need to know the trends I should have seen, ie. does an animal or plant produces more C02 and why? Also does the the cool temp make the reduction in CO2 production? Thank you.arrow_forwardHuman vegetarians, unlike true herbivores , have no highly specialized fermentation chamber , Explain How is this reflected in the structure of digestive system of a human and a deerarrow_forwardFill in the blanks for the following During the light reactions,______ energy is absorbed from the sun and converted to______ energy, which is temporarily stored in ________ and _______These outputs are then used as the inputs for thearrow_forward
