Biology
1 answer:
Sedaia [141]3 years ago
8 0

Answer and Explanation:

Most of the food eaten by herbivores(primary consumers) passes through the digestive tract as undigested matter that is removed as faeces. Most of the absorbed food materials are used in respiration to release energy. Only a small proportion of the consumed food is incorporated into tissues of the consumer while the rest is lost through excretion. Only the food incorporated into the tissues can be passed on the top predators and secondary consumers.

What is a stationary location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that ri
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

The continental plate is the  location where volcanoes form when the convection in the asthenosphere creates a column of material that rises until it reaches the crust.

Explanation:

Volcanoes form at the edges of Earth’s tectonic plates. When the continental plate moves over the oceanic plate, it causes the oceanic plate to descend into the mantle where some of it melts, and the molten material moves into the mantle above the plate and causes the mantle to melt.

This liquid rock, called magma, rises to the surface because it is less dense then the surrounding rock, a volcano forms when the magma reaches the surface of the Earth at the continental plate.

discuss the genetic diagram to show a cross between a man heterozygous for brown eyes (Bb) and a woman with blue eyes (bb)
grigory [225]
You should use a Punnett Square for this question
The Punnett square predicts the offspring of two parents (two alleles). In this case you have brown eyes (Bb) and blue eyes (bb)
In the four boxes you should have Bb, Bb, bb and bb (50% chance of offspring with blue eyes and 50% chance of offspring with brown eyes).
The genotypes ratio will be 2Bb:2bb
And the phenotypic ratio will be 2 Brown : 2 Blue
