Answer: The correct answer is C) 10% of the plant's energy.

In an ecosystem, there are various trophic levels, which form the part of the food chain. Producer like plants forms the first trophic level as they synthesize their own food via photosynthesis.

The energy from producers is transferred to the primary consumers. It is only 10% of the producer's energy.

This is in accordance with the 10% law of energy transfer. According to this law, only 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next trophic level in an ecosystem. This is because the rest of the energy is utilized by the organism or released as heat in the environment.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.

During exorcise, epinephrine car enhance skeletal muscle glycogenolysis through which of the following mechanisms? Release of Ca

sp2606 [1]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- Increase in cAMP

Explanation:

Epinephrine is the hormone which is secreted during the stress conditions which prepares the body for fight or flight response. The epinephrine for flight activates the cAMP pathway in the muscles which leads to the activation of glycogenolysis process.

The epinephrine hormone binds the receptors in the muscles which convert ATP to cAMP. The cAMP bind to inactive PKA and activate it. The activated PKA converts the Phosphorylase b which activate the glycogen phosphorylase a which converts the glycogen to glucose 6 phosphate.

Thus, option- Increase in cAMP is the correct answer.

Why do adult urochordates (tunicates) lack notochords, even though larval urochordates have them? Larvae use notochords to _____

kirza4 [7]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

A tunicate is marine invertebrate animal which is a part of chordates. They have notochords and dorsal nerve chord. The subphylum of the organism is called as Urochordata.

The adult urochordates lack notochord but the larval stage of the urochordates have notochord. This is because it helps in swimming of the organism which is required only at the larval stage.

The adult stage of the tunicates is sessile and they do not swim so they do not require notochord.
