Easy. You know photosynthesis, right? You should know, I think. So, the sun's energy is shone right on to the plant's leaves. The leaves use the energy to make glucose and oxygen from CO2. But, in the scientific way, it produces heat. So, when the insect eats the plant, it gains energy and heat obtained from the sun. Draw a diagram. Draw the sun, then an arrow pointing down to the plant, then an arrow pointing to the insect on the left. So, it's the same as the insect getting energy from the sun, but it can't, so same, it obtains the energy and heat the plant got from the sun, so scientifically everything depends on the sun for the start of the life cycle.

The leaf needs the sun to grow and gain energy. the insect then eats the leaf and gets its nutrition and energy.
hope this helps you

In a population of cats, the phenotypic frequency of black cats is 91%, and the phenotypic frequency of white cats is 9%. Assumi

Talja [164]

Answer:

1. Allele frequency of b = 0.09 (or 9%)

2. Allele frequency of B = 0.91 (0.91%)

3. Genotype frequency of BB = 0.8281 (or 82.81%)

4. Genotype frequency of Bb = 0.1638 (or 16.38%)

Explanation:

Given that:

p = the frequency of the dominant allele (represented here by B) = 0.91

q = the frequency of the recessive allele (represented here by b) = 0.09

For a population in genetic equilibrium:

p + q = 1.0 (The sum of the frequencies of both alleles is 100%.)

(p + q)^2 = 1

Therefore:

p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1

in which:

p^2 = frequency of BB (homozygous dominant)

2pq = frequency of Bb (heterozygous)

q^2 = frequency of bb (homozygous recessive)

p^2 = 0.91^2 = 0.8281

2pq = 2(0.91)(0.9) = 0.1638

(what organelle is this) Passive transport is taking place across this thin cell covering causing the muscle cells to contract.

deff fn [24]

Answer:

This question appears incomplete

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete. However, the cell organelle involved in transportation of molecules in the cell is the cell membrane. This cell membrane can be said to be cause of several forms of transportation in and out of the cell - this is because the membrane is a selective barrier. While some substances/molecules move through diffusion by moving with the concentration gradient (as in the case of passive transport, others move against the concentration gradient requiring energy to cause the transportation (as in the case of active transport).
