Answer:
Because they lose most of the energy as heat when they perform metabolic activities
Explanation:
Cells of all living organisms require energy in form of ATP to perform their cellular functions. In an ecosystem, organisms obtain this energy by feeding on one another. However, these energy transfer starts from organisms capable of using sunlight called PRODUCERS e.g plants.
Herbivores, which are PRIMARY CONSUMERS get their energy by feeding on these plants. However, according to the PYRAMID OF ENERGY, which represents the flow of energy in an ecosystem, only a few portion of the energy (about 10%) derived by plants from the sun gets transferred to herbivores. This is because most of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat when the plants undergo metabolic activities.
For the answer to the question above asking <span>In aerobic respiration, what is the direct source of energy that ATP synthase uses to synthesize ATP?</span><span>I think this is Proton Gradient. It is t</span><span>he product of the electron transport chain. A higher concentration of </span>protons <span>outside the inner membrane of the mitochondria than inside the membrane is the driving force behind ATP synthesis.</span>
Answer:
No.
Explanation:
Pink flower colour in snapdragon is as a result of incomplete dominance. The pink flower colour has no allele in nature. Instead, the pink colour results from incomplete dominance of the allele that codes for red flower colour over the allele that codes for the white flower colour.
Assuming that the allele for red flower colour in the plant is R and the allele for white flower colour is r, true breeding red and white flower colour plants will have the genotype RR and rr respectively. In heterozygote state (Rr), the phenotype is usually pink, showing that the R allele has incomplete dominance over the r allele.
<em>Hence, there is no way for plant breeders to develop a true-breeding pink-flowered snapdragon. without some genetic manipulations/mutation.</em>
Answer;
-Endosperm
-Cotyledon
The food for dicot embryos is stored in the endosperm while food for monocot embryos is stored in the cotyledons.
Explanation;
-The storage of food reserves in angiosperm seeds differs between monocots and dicots.
-Seeds need a supply of food to support the embryo plant until it can collect its own food. In monocots, there is usually a supply of food, called endosperm, inside the seed coat but separate from the cotyledon. In dicots, the cotyledons contain the endosperm.
Answer:
Blood is composed of several types of cells:
- <u>RED BLOOD CELLS</u>: They are the oxygen carriers of the body i.e. they pick up the oxygen as the blood goes through the lungs & release of oxygen to cells.Also known as erthrocytes
- <u>WHITE BLOOD CELLS</u>: also known as leukocytes.They are the soldiers of the body.Aims at fighting against the infections ( caused by bacteria & virus)
- <u>PLATELETS</u> : helps in the blood clot in response to any wound or injury
There are five types of white blood cells & approx %age they made up in blood are:
•Neutrophils (55% to 70%)
•Band neutrophils (0% to 3%)
•Lymphocytes (20% to 40%)
•Monocytes (2% to 8%)
•Eosinophils (1% to 4%)
•Basophils (0.5% to 1%)
When children are more than 4 year old they have higher % age of lymphocytes than the adults do.
