Large predators are found at higher trophic levels, what does this mean in terms of energy loss ?

Large predators are found at higher trophic levels because specialized bodies are needed to extract the small energy that gets to them.

The energy that gets to successive trophic levels decreases progressively because much of it is lost as heat. This means that a small percentage of the energy from the producers that form the bases of trophic levels to the predators that are somewhat at the top of trophic levels.

With big body size, the bodies of predators are organized into systems that work together to efficiently extract the small energy that gets to them from immediate lower trophic level.

Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

In reproductive or sexual cells

Explanation:

There are two principal types of cells in the organism: Somatic diploid cells (2n) that reproduce by the process of mitosis, and germ cells that are diploid reproductive cells in charge of gamete production. These germ cells suffer both mitosis (to form more sexual cells) and meiosis (giving place to haploid gametes: sperm and egg cells, through the gametogenesis process). Both somatic cells and germinal cells will end their cycle becoming two daughter cells with the same genetic dotation.

Gametes from each parent will merge in the process of fecundation, during which a new diploid cell called a zygote emerges through fertilization. The zygote is a complete cell from the structural point of view that suffers successive mitosis to form the new organism.

Any cell in the organism might suffer mutation.

  • If the mutation occurs in the somatic cells, it will produce a population of identical mutated cells in that organism. However, this mutation in these cells is not inheritable. By definition, mutations in somatic cells do not inherit because these cells do not produce progeny.
  • If the mutation occurs in the germinal line, in the germ cells, or the sexual cells, this <u>mutation will pass to the offspring</u>. The organism with mutated germinal cells might express a normal phenotype, but this mutation will be detected in the progeny.

Most of the digestion and absorption in the small intestine is accomplished by the __________; the longest portion of the small
Romashka [77]

Most of the digestion and absorption in the small intestine is accomplished by the duodenum; the longest portion of the small intestine is the ileum.

<h3>What is Digestion and Absorption?</h3>

Digestion stands for the complex function of turning the food you eat into nutrients, which the body utilizes for energy, growth, and cell repair required to survive. The digestion process also concerns creating waste to be eliminated.

Digestion stands for the breakdown of extensive insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be immersed in the watery blood plasma. In particular organisms, these smaller substances exist absorbed via the small intestine into the bloodstream.

Absorption exists as a physical or chemical phenomenon or a procedure in which atoms, molecules, or ions penetrate some bulk phase – liquid or solid material. This is a separate process from adsorption since molecules undergoing absorption stand taken up by the volume, not by the surface.

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Since it is a recessive gene, tumor suppressor genes required the inactivation of both alleles, this is usually accomplished by the mutation of one allele and a targeted homozygous deletion of the second allele. This leads to an effective inactivation of the suppressor genes with the mutations acting a a dominant negatives. This way, patients are put at a higher risk of developing cancer
