The largest population would be the producers. In an energy pyramid, the producers have the largest biomass. The smallest population would be the top predators, since there isn’t enough energy to sustain this level in the energy pyramid.

How does DNA Replication work

elixir [45]

"The initiation of DNA replication occurs in two steps. First, a so-called initiator protein unwinds a short stretch of the DNA double helix. Then, a protein known as helicase attaches to and breaks apart the hydrogen bonds between the bases on the DNA strands, thereby pulling apart the two strands"(https://www.nature.com/scitable/.../cells-can-replicate-their-dna-precisely-6524830).

lorasvet [3.4K]

Answer:

Solution A-It will likely swell up since you put it in a hypotonic solution

Solution B- Since you placed it in a hypertonic solution, its gonna shrivel up and become smaller

Explanation:

Solution A- Placing Elodea cells into 100% water, which is more hypotonic than freshwater, also causes water movement into of the cells resulting in the swelling of the cells. ... As water moves out of the cells there is a loss of turgor pressure and the plasma membranes detach from the cell walls as the cells shrink.

B- When the Elodea was placed in the salt solution, the vacuoles disappeared and the protoplasm came away from the cell wall making the organelles appear to be clumped in the middle of the cell. ... Therefore, if it were placed in a hypertonic solution it would lose water and shrivel.

Hope this helps! Brainliest??Anyways have a great day my loves<3
