In one or two sentences, explain how the chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter. Include the numbers of molecules and atoms involved to support your explanation.(2 points)

The chemical equation for cellular respiration shows that plants cycle matter because it involves the breakdown of glucose (C6H12O6) into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), which are then used by the plant in photosynthesis to produce more glucose. This process involves a total of 6 molecules of oxygen (O2) and 6 molecules of water, indicating the cycling of matter in the plant's environment.

In a food pyramid, there is typically less biomass at the top (i.e., there are very few individual tertiary consumers, whereas there are numerous individual producers). In three to five sentences, explain this phenomenon, citing evidence relating to energy flow and how plants support ecosystems.(4 points)

This phenomenon can be explained by the laws of energy flow, as only a fraction of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Primary producers, such as plants, are able to capture solar energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis, making energy available to the rest of the ecosystem. However, as energy flows up the food chain, much of it is lost through respiration, waste, and heat, which limits the amount of biomass at higher trophic levels. Additionally, predators at the top of the food chain require large amounts of prey to sustain themselves, leading to a lower number of individual tertiary consumers.

Do you have a question or need more information? Let me know how can I assist you.

Yeah I do, How does the carbon stored in the bodies of living organisms move into rocks?

The carbon stored in the bodies of living organisms can move into rocks through the process of sedimentation and burial. When organisms die, their bodies may become buried in sediment or soil. Over time, the pressure and heat from the overlying layers of sediment can cause the organic materials to undergo chemical changes, transforming them into fossil fuels like coal and oil, which are ultimately buried under layers of sediment and rock. Over even longer periods of time, carbon can also become trapped in sedimentary rocks, like limestone, through a process called carbonation, in which carbon dioxide from the air is dissolved in water and, over time, reacts with minerals in the rock to form solid carbonate minerals.

The phenomenon of less biomass at the top of the food pyramid can be attributed to the laws of energy flow. Only a fraction of the energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next. Primary producers, such as plants, are able to capture solar energy and convert it into chemical energy through photosynthesis, making energy available to the rest of the ecosystem. However, as energy flows up the food chain, much of it is lost through respiration and other losses, the reason why the biomass at higher trophic levels is comparatively less. By supporting the food chain, the plants make their energy available to many consumers, which is why there are generally more producers in an ecosystem than consumers.

Ocean ecosystems are sensitive to the chemical composition of the water. Any excess compounds can upset the balance and cause damage to organisms. In three to five sentences, describe how reducing consumption of fossil fuels can help the ocean ecosystem. (4 points)

Reducing the consumption of fossil fuels can help the ocean ecosystem in several ways. Fossil fuels release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which contributes to climate change and ocean acidification. Acidic ocean water can harm many organisms, such as shellfish, by dissolving their shells, leading to a loss of habitat and a decline in biodiversity. Additionally, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels can help to reduce levels of other pollutants, such as mercury, that can accumulate in the food chain and harm marine organisms, including fish that are consumed by humans. By reducing our dependence on fossil fuels, we can help to maintain a healthy ocean ecosystem.
