Answer:

Option A, flow of energy in an ecosystem

Explanation:

The producers lie at the base of all food webs or food chains. Thus, it has 100% of energy. Now a consumer lying at trophic level I will get its food from producer. The food shall provide nearly 10% of the total energy of producers to the consumers at trophic level 1. Likewise all the subsequent trophic levels will receive nearly 10% of the energy contained within the organism lying at precedent trophic level.

Hence, in this way a food chain or food web also describes the movement of energy from one organism to other.

Hence, option A is correct

A colleague gives you two tubes containing membrane fractions from an animal cell lysate. One tube contains the plasma membrane

OLga [1]

Answer:

B) a higher protein to lipid ratio.

Explanation:

The cell membrane of eukaryotes is known to be a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins. This implies that the first tube will contain a higher amount of lipids.

The membrane of the mitochondria is slightly different from the cell membrane in which its protein to lipid ratio is higher, containing a large number of integral proteins.

explain why a father with blood group AB cannot donate for a child with blood group O when he marries a woman with blood group O

denis-greek [22]

The odds are astronomical for a father with AB(IV) to have an O(I) child. The only possible way for this phenomenon to occur is if there was a nondisjunction in the ovogenesis for the 9th chromosome and the father also had a nondisjunction for the same chromosome(A sperm cell with no 9th chromosome fertilized an ovum with two 9 chromosomes).

A person with AB cannot donate to a person with O because the receiver has antibodies(alpha and beta) that bind to the antigens on the AB blood cells, causing death.
