b. 10% of energy is transferred from the first to the second trophic level.

Explanation:

In trophic level flow of energy is one way, only a small amount of energy get transferred with the organism. A large amount of energy gets dissipated in life processes like respiration, reproduction and digestion. The energy is also released as waste product. Thus, only ten per-cent of the total energy is present in the organism.

The energy transfer does not depend on the number of trophic levels.

Each trophic level receives the 10% energy from the previous trophic level as when algae is eaten by flagship.

What happens to predator populations when prey populations are scarce? Why?
GenaCL600 [577]
When prey is abundant, predator populations increase because more young are able to survive. More predators kill more prey, which, along with food scarcity, decreases the population. When prey becomes more scarce, the predator population declines until prey is again more abundant. Therefore, the two balance each other.

Amino acids with hydrophobic r groups are most often found buried in the interior of folded proteins. true or false
pentagon [3]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Hydrophobicity is the aversion to the water of a molecule (or part of it). Amino acids with a hydrophobic R group (glycine, alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, proline, phenylalanine, methionine, and tryptophan) <em>will fold with the R groups in the interior to avoid water. This behavior is one of the most important forces in protein folding. </em>You can see it exemplified in the image I added.

I hope you fidn this information useful and interesting! Good luck!

<u>Answer</u>: Weber's/Weber-Fechner's law of just noticeable difference

This phychologoical law is used to quantify the perception of change for a given stimulus. The perceived change is proportional/constant ratio to the initial stimulus. Thus, it is the minimum amount of a stimulus intensity change that will produce noticeable variation in sensory experience.

As in the example, it has been shown that this law is not function very well for extremes of stimulation.
