A generous appraisal of the mass of fish in Loch Ness is 15,675 kg. Based on Travis’s estimates of the size of Nessie, how many monsters might the lake contain? (Travis estimates: Based on the photos and sonar records published back in 1975, she’s around 15 meters long, about the length of a gray whale, and would weigh approximately 8 tons, although another report suggested she may only be half that long with a mass of only 1.5 tons) - Use the 10% rule in ecology to solve the question

Grasses are the dominant producers in the prairie ecosystem. Mice eat the grass seeds, snakes eat the mice, and hawks eat the snakes. The mass of a hawk is around 500 grams. In this ecosystem, how many hawks can be supported by 250,000 kilograms of producers? Recall that 1 kilogram is equivalent to 1,000 grams.
Lotka-Volterra Competition A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and smallmouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacity of this lake for bluegill (K) is 1,500 and for bass (K,) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that a is 0.5 and that pis 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species be able to co-exist? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? Please show the equation step by step on paper please

A small lake is capable of supporting both bluegill and small-mouth bass. These two bony fish species compete for similar food resources. The carrying capacities of this lake for bluegill (K1) is 1,500 and for small-mouth bass (K2) is 500. After some careful measurement, we find that α (or α12)is 0.5 and that β (or α21) is 0.25. We stock the lake with 250 bluegill and 750 bass. Over time, will both species coexist? If so, approximately how many of each species will be present? If not, which one will be driven to extinction in this lake? Answer this please: 1) What is the numerical value of 'A'? 2) What is the numerical value of 'B'? 3) What is the numerical value of 'C'? 4) What is the numerical value of 'D'? 5) What is the value of N1 at the intersection of the ZNGIs? 6) What is the values of N2 at the intersection of the ZNGIs?
Researchers examining decomposition in a freshwater marsh estimated the following decomposition rate constants: k = 0.058-0.61 d1 for the soft tissues of fish and waterfowl; and k = 0.03-0.05 d¯ for aquatic plants. Decomposition was measured %3D %3D under similar environmental conditions. (A) Based on the estimated rate constants, which type of material-animal (i.e. fish, waterfowl) or plant (i.e. aquatic plants)-decomposes faster? (B) What is a likely explanation for this pattern? E.g., how would C:N compare between the two materials? [2-3 sentences]

The bar-tailed godwits is a type of shorebird that makes an annual migration from Alaska to New Zealand and bank. 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.
