Apopulation of insects consumes plants containing 350 j of energy and excretes 180 j in its feces. if 150 j of energy are used for respiration, what is the production efficiency for these insects?

5.7%

Given:

 350 j (total energy)

 180 j (excretion in feces)

150 j  ( energy for respiration)

Solution:

Let X= energy left in the body

X=350-180-150

X=20 j

Production efficiency is:

20/350=5.7%

sea breeze

explanation:

cool air is going towards land allowing for the land to be cooler, the hotter air gets pushed away from the land.

the darker peppered moth species were favored due to the fact that the industrial revolution had made all the nearby trees a darker color instead of white.
