The correct answer is option (A) leaves > deer > wolf.

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which the nutrients and energy flow as one organisms feeds on the other. They show organisms starting from the producers and end with consumers or sometimes with detrivores or decomposers. Each level of the food chain is called the trophic level. The producers which use solar energy and prepare their food occupy the first trophic level, followed by the primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary consumers occupying the next trophic level.

In the food chain given above, leaves > deer > wolf, deers feed on the leaves which are maximum in number comparitively, wolf feeds on the deer which are comparitively more in number than the wolves. This is the correct sequence of food chain showing the tranfer of energy and decreasing number of organisms with subsequent increase in the trophic levels.

Why are elbow and knees Called hinge joint? What are some disorders that can occur in joint

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

Movements of joints and orientation of bones forming the elbow and knee joint results in a hinge type joint used for extension and flexion of arm and legs.

Explanation:

Knees and Elbow exhibits as the major sectional parts in the body and it is used to move arms and legs.
Hinge Joint present in the elbow and knees provides flexibility in moving the arms and legs in our body.
The common disorder occurs in the joint is Osteoarthritis and it mostly affects the age of people around 40-50.
These disorders cause pain in joints of the leg and elbow.

Describe what happens to organisms who optimum temperature zone is between 21°C and 32°C when the temperature rises from 21°C to

stiv31 [10]

Answer and Explanation:

The hypothalamus contains the central thermoreceptors which detect blood temperature as well as the thermoregulatory centre. The skin of organism contains peripheral thermoreceptors which detect the environmental temperature.

Increase in body temperature above the normal initiates the appropriate corrective mechanisms that include sweating, lowering of hair for mammals, vasodilation of superficial blood vessels and decrease in metabolic rates. This has an overall effect of causing the body temperature to fall and the normal body temperature is restored.

Sweat is secreted by sweat glands that evaporates from the surface of the body cooling the body as it absorbs latent heat of vaporization. Superficial blood vessels vasodilate so that more blood flows near the surface to encourage heat loss. Hair is lowered so that it lies against the body surface. This encourages heat loss from the body to the external environment.

The compound sodium chloride is formed by which kind of bond? Covalent bond ionic bond hydrogen bond sodium bond

ehidna [41]

Answer: Ionic bond

Explanation:

An ionic bond is a type of a chemical bond formed by the complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another atom i.e one of the atoms loses its electrons and the other gains it. This results in the formation of 2 oppositely charged ions.
In sodium chloride, sodium loses one electron from its outermost shell (valence shell) whereas chloride gains it. Due to this sodium gains, a net positive charge and chloride gain a net negative charge.
So, due to the complete transfer of electrons that takes place from sodium to chloride, the compound generated (Sodium chloride) has an ionic bond.

Genetic variation in bacterial populations cannot result from

zmey [24]

Answer:

Meiosis

Explanation:

Gene recombination refers to the mixture of genes from different individuals that occurs during sexual reproduction. Gene recombination is responsible for mixing between genes, which results in genetic variation in a bacterial population.

Genetic variability in a bacterial population occurs through three types of mechanisms: transformation, conjugation and transduction. However this genetic variation does not occur through Meiosis.

Transformation is the incorporation of free DNA by the bacterial cell. Conjugation is the process of transferring DNA from one bacterium to another, involving contact between the two cells. Transduction is the transfer of genetic material between cells, mediated by bacteriophages.
