Can somone help me to answer 2 question after watching a video, Thank you
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M18HxXve3CM
1)What is one interesting or surprising thing you learned from the video you watched?
2)It’s unlikely that you personally hunt wolves or whales, and equally unlikely that you are responsible for importing rabbits and foxes to Australia as shown in these videos. But your actions do affect ecosystems. What is one thing you can start doing or stop doing right away to help protect the earth’s ecosystems? Explain how the thing you chose helps to protect ecosystems.
please draw! make everything clear please!
Create a model which accurately, in detail, depicts the potential pathways of carbon (biomass) and energy in an ecosystem with at least five trophic levels (don’t forget your decomposers, they can count as one trophic level). Make sure to incorporate the multiple pathways that biomass and energy could take at each trophic level. Lastly, clearly illustrate how carbon and energy flow in this ecosystem. Be sure to include adequate levels of detail for all pathways and differentiate the flow of carbon and energy in your model.
The Flemish physician/plant physiologist Jan Baptista van Helmont was the first to publish his claim that the growth of plants (like willow trees) requires nutrition from which environmental source?
water (a hydrogen-containing source which we now designate as H2O)
sucrose (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as C12H22O11)
ammonia (a nitrogen-containing source which we now designate as NH3)
glucose (an oxygen-containing source which we now designate as C6H12O6)
methane (a carbon-containing source which we now designate as CH4)

What are the major sources of power available on a farm? 2. What is the significance of human power? Can it be eliminated completely by the use of other farm power sources? 3. List the advantages and limitations of using animal power. What is the pulling capacity of: a) a donkey; b) an ox? 4. List the factors that influence the output available from an animal. Discuss each factor. 5. Which machines can be operated by: a) wind power; b) water power? 6. What are the advantages of solar power? Give examples of the use of solar power on the farm. 7.

How do you measure the energy produced in this experiment? 2. Will you be able to perform the same results (flask A with germinated seeds temperature increases and flask B with boiled seeds temperature remain unchanged), assuming you will be using a regular glass flask? Why? 3. How come the (boiled seeds) control set up release energy as well? How come even if the boiled seeds here are considered dead they still release energy? 4. Is it possible of getting the reverse of the results. If yes, why?arrow_forwardFlow of energy through various trophic levels in an ecosystem is unidirectional and non-cyclic.Explain.arrow_forward

This means that the system does not observe the output of the processes that it is controlling. Closed-loop systems employ feedback and a reference of correctness. Deviations from the norm are detected and corrections made in order to maintain a desired output. 3) The image shown above is the Carbon cycle. What kind of system is the Carbon cycle? A) open-loop system B) closed-loop system C) unregulated system D) unchecked feedback system not gradedarrow_forwardExplain the role of the following enzymes in feed industry:(a) Phytase (b) Tannase (c) Amylasearrow_forward

Model/diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in the global ecosystem. You will need to create TWO models/diagrams of the sources and sinks of carbon. In the first model diagram the sources and sinks of carbon in a natural, pre-industrial landscape.

Finally, write a few short sentences on what you would expect the atmospheric levels of CO2 to be in each model and why they would or would not be similar.arrow_forward
