<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C. Energy is transferred from organisms in one level to those in the level above.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.
- As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.
Answer:
Phosphate sugar backbone:
The sugar-phosphate backbone forms the structural framework of nucleic acids, including DNA and RNA. This backbone is composed of alternating sugar and phosphate groups, and defines directionality of the molecule.
Nitrogenous base:
Nitrogen bases are the molecules that make up the steps of the ladders. There are four different nitrogen bases, namely; Guanine, Thymine,Adenine and Cytosine.
Pyrimidines are compounds that make a single 6-sided ring. Examples of pyrimidines are Cytosine and Thymine.
Purines on the other hand make 5-sided and 6-sided rings. Examples of purines are Guanine and Adenine.
The nitrogen bases are helped together through hydrogen bonds.
Hydrogen Bonds:
A weak bond between two molecules resulting from an electrostatic attraction between a proton in one molecule and an electronegative atom in the other.

the answer to this question is false
Individuals with these mutations typically have familial hypercholesterolemia.
These genes provide information for the formation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor, a receptor that binds to low-density lipoproteins (LDLs). LDLs carry the cholesterol in the blood and regulate the amount of cholesterol in the circulation. Mutations to these genes either reduce the number of receptors or cause several disruptions to their function. This results in high blood cholesterol levels and in a higher risk for heart disease.
