Why does only 10% of energy travel from one level to the next???!!! I NEED HELP!!!!!!!

1 answer:

4 0

Uh because energy decreases as it moves up tropic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one tropic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Tropic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between tropic levels.

would parasitism be an accurate way to describe the relationship between the strangler fig and the cypress tree?

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The relationship between the strangler fig and the cypress tree closely resembles one of parasitism but is not. It is considered commensalism.

Explanation:

Parasitism is when one organism uses another as a host in order to survive, which generated negative impacts for the host, which will usually end in death. The strangler fig uses the tree as a host in order to sustain itself structurally but does not siphon nutrients from the tree or directly kill it, therefore it is not a form of parasitism.

Commensalism is described as a relationship between two organisms, in which the benefits are gained by only one of the members, but neither of the two is harmed in any way.

The relationship between the strangler fig and the cypress tree is best described as commensalism, given that although the strangler fig does eventually cause the tree to die by encircling its roots and not allowing it to grow, it does not kill the tree directly in order to survive.

You are researching a cytoplasmic protein associated with a nerve disorder. The native form of the enzyme appears to be globular

kherson [118]

Answer:

This signifies that the protein primarily comprises multiple polypeptide chains connected together with the help of disulfide bonds. The enzymes may be found in the form of dimers, trimers, or tetramers. Various examples of dimers, trimers, and tetramer proteins are known, of them, NEMOs dimers are considered to be held by disulfide bonds.

Thus, it can be hypothesized that the enzyme under examination is a multimer held in combination by disulfide bonds, with each comprising catalytic sites. On breaking of disulfide bonds, the enzyme dissociates into its many single units.

This illustrates the reduction in catalytic activity. Each active site in a single unit will work, however, at a gradual rate. This also shows detection of multiple globular proteins after disulfide reduction.
