Answer:

0.01%

Explanation:

According to the ten percent rule of energy transfer, whenever energy is transferred from one trophic level to a higher trophic level only 10% of total energy available at the lower level gets transferred to a higher one.

Therefore, when the energy is transferred along with the food chain:

grass → grasshopper → mouse → snake → hawk, from grass to hawk there is a loss of 10% of energy at each level.

<em>Therefore, the hawk only gets 0.01% of the energy from the grass.</em>

Answer:

The best answer is Grass. The grass is photosynthetic, which means grasses make their energy from the sun. About 10% of this total energy is available to other organisms in the food chain.

In fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers, their rapid increases in force rely on the ________ activity where rapid relaxation
Kitty [74]

Answer:

1. myosin ATPase

2. Ca2+-ATPase

Explanation:

ATPase activity of myosin head hydrolysis ATP and energize the myosin head. The energized myosin head forms cross bridges to facilitate the power stroke of muscle contraction. The fast-twitch oxidative-glycolytic fibers have the ability to produce ATP by aerobic respiration.  

These fibers have the  ATPase in their myosin heads that hydrolyze ATP three to five times faster than the myosin ATPase in slow fibers. This ensures the faster speed of contraction of these fast-twitch muscle fibers.

During their relaxation, Ca2+ ATPase pumps the calcium ions back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum. As the level of Ca2+ ions in the sarcoplasm decreases, calcium ions are released from troponin. Tropomyosin is allowed to cover the myosin-binding sites on actin and the muscle fiber relaxes faster.
