Biology

Aleksandr [31]3 years ago

Antibiotics are meant to kill living things (bacteria). Viruses, on the other hand, we are not sure if they would classify as living. Viruses change the meaning of "life" if we consider them alive. They can <em>only </em>reproduce within another cell by taking over that cell. An antibiotic would have to be able to kill human cells to kill a virus, and that would not be a good medicine to take. Viruses invade a host cell and incorporate the virus DNA into the host cell's DNA, which would cause the host cell to create more viruses to invade other cells. <span />

shusha [124]
The answer to this question with the options presented in the problem would be A. 50.

It is said by experts that in the energy pyramid, 90% of energy is lost for life processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, and the like. So this means that only 10% will remain for the consumer to have. That would be saying that if suppose there are 500 units of energy available at the producer level of the energy pyramid, to get the units of energy available to the first-level consumer is  to have the 10% of 500 which is 50.
