Answer:

The correct answer is option a.

"1 – 5%".

Explanation:

The conversion efficiency, also known as trophic assimilation efficiency, refers to how much energy is retained in the consumer in comparison with the amount of energy stored in the producer or the organism in the previous trophic level. The higher the trophic level the higher conversion efficiency. Therefore, the conversion efficiency from herbivores to carnivores is very low, because carnivores are at the lowest trophic levels in the food chain. The conversion efficiency at this level reaches barely 5% in some cases. This is the reason why there are very few tertiary carnivores in comparison to the number of plants on Earth.

Which of the following investigators was (were) responsible for the following discovery? In DNA from any species, the amount of
Zarrin [17]

Answer :Erwin Chargaff   a Biochemist

Explanation:

He formulated the base paring of double helix of DNA. He reasoned that since the percentage of four  DNA  bases are of this proportions in human;

                                  Adenine=30.9% and Thymine =29.4%;

                                  Guanine=19.9% and Cytosine =19.8%

Then,  the amount of adenine will always be equal to thymine,

And the amount of Guanine equals to cytosine based on this percentages of distribution.  

(Adenine and Guanine are large, molecule of Purines, while thymine and Cytosine are Pyrimidine)  

 

He concluded (although scientist believed, he did not explicitly stated this) that this should be the base paring patterns in DNA molecule. This is the first Chargaff Rule.

His second rule is that the DNA composition, in the relative amount of the four bases Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine and Guanine varies in proportion from one organisms to another. And this is the basis of molecular diversity.

What is the role of worms bacteria and fungi in a food web.
Ivanshal [37]

Answer:

Decomposers are organisms (mostly bacteria and fungi) that break down dead plants and animals, eventually turning them into nutrients that will be added to soil. These nutrients are very important to continue the cycle in the ecosystem. Slugs, earthworms, millipedes, and centipedes also help break down dead things.

Why do scientist use the light year instead of astronomical units to measure the distance between stars ?
Evgesh-ka [11]
Astronomers use light years to measure distances in space because space is so massive and distances so far that conventional numbering is inadequate and unmanageable. One light year is a distance measurement equivalent to six trillion miles.

What property of water allows fish to survive in a lake that is frozen over?
Fiesta28 [93]

C. Ice is less dense than water which means water condenses when it freezes allowing the ice in a lake to float on top of the water preventing the water below from freezing.
