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.

The role of rRNA in gene expression is to?
Verizon [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.

Explanation:

Ribosomal RNA or rRNA are the RNA molecules which build up the site for protein synthesis known as ribosomes.

Ribosome synthesis takes place in nucleolus where two types of rRNA molecules associates with proteins, one in large subunit and one in the small subunit to form ribosomes.

These ribosomes physically moves along an mRNA molecule and catalyze the assembly of amino acids where rRNA molecules performs the catalytic steps of protein synthesis that is stitches amino acids together and makes up proteins.

Thus,  rRNA plays an important role during translation (protein synthesis) of mRNA.

Mention about the four events of a occur during a binary fission in amoeba
Dafna1 [17]

Answer

The 4 events that occur during amoeba are:-

  • It sees the food particle.Then by pseudopodia (the finger like projections from amoeba) traps the food particle.
  • The finger-like extensions of the cell surface fuse over the food particle forming a food vacuole.
  • Inside the food vacuole, complex foods are broken down into simpler ones which then diffuse into the cytoplasm.
  • The remaining undigested material is moved to the surface of the cell and thrown out. [Egestion].

Which of the following is an example of adhesion in organisms
12345 [234]

Adhesion is defined as a component of water ,  an attraction that occurs between two different substances like water and the cell walls of plant cells.

For instance:

 A tree requires to be able to transport water  from the roots to the leaves atop the tree over a long distance. The Water molecules will stick to the xylem in the method called as adhesion.
