<span>The choices for this question are:
</span>-is biologically magnified in ... are recycled in
-is dissipated in ... flow through
-flows through ... are recycled in
-is continuously supplied to ... are continuously removed from
<span>-is recycled in ... flow through</span><span>

On a global scale, energy flows through ecosystems whereas chemical elements are recycle in ecosystems. So the answer is the third option. 

Energy flows through the ecosystem. Most energy comes from sunlight and it is transformed into chemical energy by autotrophs. When they are consumed by heterotrophs the energy is passed on, until it dissipates as heat.  
</span><span>
Chemical elements like carbon and nitrogen, on the other hand, are cycled between biotic and abiotic factors in an ecosystem. This is not possible for energy. These chemical elements come from abiotic factors like the air, light and soil. They are incorporated in the biomass of the photosynthetic organisms and are consumed by other organisms. They are changed back into their inorganic form when the organism dies and are broken down by decomposers and the cycle goes on. So they are constantly being recycled. 

In summary, energy needs a continuous source to be able to maintain and sustain the energy flow in the ecosystem. Chemical elements, on the other hand, are just recycled through processes between abiotic factors and biotic factors. </span>

Describe how genetic information is passed on from parent to a child
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

Chromosomes are passed from parents to offspring via sperm and eggs. The specific kind of chromosome that contains a gene determines how that gene is inherited. ... Consequently, each person has two copies (alleles) of every gene carried on an autosome: one inherited from their father and one from their mother.

Like chromosomes, genes also come in pairs. Each of your parents has two copies of each of their genes, and each parent passes along just one copy to make up the genes you have. Genes that are passed on to you determine many of your traits, such as your hair color and skin color

Do the same mechanisms that govern gene expression operate in bacterial cells and eukaryotic cells? Explain your answer.
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

in prokaryotic cells, the control of gene expression is mostly at the transcriptional level. ... Eukaryotic gene expression is regulated during transcription and RNA processing, which take place in the nucleus, and during protein translation, which takes place in the cytoplasm.
