The maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level is 0 units.

A food chain describes who eats whom in the wild. Every living thing – from unicellular algae to giant blue whales – needs food to survive. Every food chain is a possible pathway that energy and nutrients can travel through an ecosystem. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. There is a 10 fold decrease in the amount of energy units as we move upwards in production chain. So from grass to rabbits we lose energy. The foxes will only really have two units once it's decreased by 10 fold again. The grass does not get any energy from the decaying bodies of foxes, they get the minerals that they need to grow.  And so the correct answer to this question is 0 units because when the energy gets recycled from fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level it will be totally reduced.

Note: The question seems to be incomplete. So the complete question is "Consider a hypothetical food chain consisting of grass, rabbits, and foxes. The primary productivity of the grass is 200 units. What is the maximum amount of energy that we should expect to be recycled from the fox trophic level back to the grass trophic level? Answer choices: A) 0 units B) 0.2 units C) 2 units D) 20 units"

why do polysaccharides like cellulose and peptidoglycan able to resist degradation and enzymatic activity
mixer [17]

Polysaccharides like Cellulose form insoluble micro-fibrils making it resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.

<u>EXPLANATION: </u>

  • Polysaccharides components in general broken down monosaccharides and they are very little enough to be absorbed by the body.
  • But the polysaccharide like cellulose cannot be absorbed by our body.
  • Cellulose is made up of simple polymers that form insoluble micro-fibrils results in resistant to degradation and enzymatic activity.
  • Also, molecules of each micro-fibril are so tightly packed structure and prevent the penetration of enzymes.
  • Thus, cellulose degradation requires a complex enzyme and cellulose.

Rank the following in order from most general to most specific: 1. gametic isolation 2. reproductive isolating mechanism 3. sper
mihalych1998 [28]
<h2>Reproductive Method </h2>

Explanation:

<em>The rank in order from the most specific which is following .</em>

<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism</em>

<em>(2) Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins</em>

<em>(3) Gametic isolation </em>

<em>(4)Prezygotic isolating mechanism</em>

<em>(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism-</em> The components of regenerative confinement are an assortment of transformative instruments, practices and <em>physiological procedures basic for speciation.</em> They keep individuals from various species from delivering posterity, or guarantee that any posterity are sterile.

(<em>2) Sperm-egg contradiction in ocean urchins-</em> Bindin is a gamete acknowledgment protein known to control species-explicit <em>sperm-egg grip</em> and layer combination in ocean urchins.

<em> (3)Gametic isolation - Prezygotic hindrances </em>keep preparation from occurring. Gametic disengagement is a sort of prezygotic hindrance where the<em> gametes (egg and sperm) </em>come into contact, yet no preparation happens. Gametes might be not able to remember each other in various species  

<em> (4) Prezygotic isolating mechanism- </em>while postzygotic segregation forestalls the arrangement of rich posterity. Prezygotic systems incorporate environment segregation, mating seasons, "mechanical" disconnection, gamete detachment and conduct seclusion.
