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.

If a negatively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be
svetlana [45]

Answer:

If a negatively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, the forces required to balance the chemical gradient would be directed <u>outwards</u>. Thus, the equilibrium potential for this ion would be <u>negatively</u> charged.

Explanation:

The resting membrane potential is normally due to small excess of negative ions inside of positive ions outside the cells.

The negative charges are attracted to the positive charges and they form a thin layer of negative inside and positive outside of the cell. The rest of extracellular and intracellular fluid remains normal.

If negatively charged ion is more concentrated outside the cell, then the forces will move outwards, in order to balance the gradient. Thus resulting in negative equilibrium potential (The potential at which no movement of the ion occur across the membrane)

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

Explanation:

Psychrophile is a type of organism and bacteria that can grow and reproduce in very low temperatures. Besides low and cold temperatures these organisms adapt to high pressure and high concentrations of salt. Their body has adapted to these types of harsh environments by having a body that keeps them from freezing. Their enzymes had evolved to engage in activities such as activity-stability-flexibility as a method for adapting to the cold. This type of bacteria can grow in refrigerated temperatures and they could be found in foods and dairy products.

How The Rabbits Depend On Energy From The Sun? <br> HELP ME!!!<br> ( SCIENCE )
V125BC [204]
Rabbits depend on the energy of the sun because the plants they eat need the sun to reproduce  and to go through photosynthesis to grow over and over again for the rabbit to have food to survive.
