Answer:

76.5Kj

Explanation:

A food chain consists of different trophic levels of organisms ranging from the PRODUCERS to the TERTIARY CONSUMERS. According to the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is available for use for the next trophic level as majority of the energy (about 90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, if the primary producers in the energy pyramid contains 76500kJ of energy, the following energy would be available for each trophic level.

Primary producers: 76500kJ

- 10% of energy will be available to the primary consumer = 10/100 × 76500 = 7650kJ

- 10% of energy (7650kJ) will be available to the secondary consumer = 10/100 × 7650 = 765kJ

- 10% of energy (765kJ) will be available to the tertiary consumer = 10/100 × 765 = 76.5kJ

Hence, 76.5kJ of energy will be available for organisms at the tertiary level.

Humans, like other organisms, require energy for growth and repair. When cells create ATP for energy, carbon dioxide is produced
ad-work [718]

Answer:

The circulatory and respiratory systems interact to transport carbon dioxide to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body.

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide produced by the cells and tissues during cellular respiration is removed from the body through the interaction of the circulatory and respiratory system. The medium of transport of carbon dioxide is the blood which carries to the lungs, where it is expelled from the body in ordernto maintain homeostasis in the body.

Carbon dioxide molecules are transported in the blood from body tissues to the lungs in three ways:

1. Dissolution directly into the blood - due to its greater solubility in blood than oxygen, carbon dioxide is dissolved in blood plasma. On reaching the lungs, it leaves the blood by diffusion and is then expelled out of the body.

2. Binding to hemoglobin - carbon dioxide binds reversibly with haemoglobin in the red blood cells to form a molecule called carbaminohemoglobin. When it reaches the lungs, the carbon dioxide freely dissociate from the hemoglobin and is expelled from the body.

3. Carried as a bicarbonate ion - the majority of carbon dioxide molecules are carried as part of the bicarbonate buffer system. In this system, carbon dioxide diffuses into the red blood cells. The enzyme carbonic anhydrase within the red blood cells quickly converts the carbon dioxide into carbonic acid (H2CO3) which then dissociates into bicarbonate and hydrogen ions. The bicarbonate ions leaves the red blood cells in exchange for chloride ions in the plasma. The bicarbonate ions then travel in plasma to the lungs, where they enter the red blood cells again. It combines with hydrogen ions from the haemoglobin to form carbonic acid. Carbonic anhydrase breaks carbonic acid down into water and carbon dioxide which is then expelled from the lungs.

Why are retroviruses considered a special class of viruses?
o-na [289]

Answer:

They transcribe RNA to DNA using reverse transcriptase.

Explanation:

<u>Retrovirus</u>

A type of virus that uses RNA as its genetic material. After infecting a cell, a retrovirus uses an enzyme called reverse transcriptase to convert its RNA into DNA. The retrovirus then integrates its viral DNA into the DNA of the host cell, which allows the retrovirus to replicate. HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is a retrovirus.

Retroviruses have an enzyme, called reverse transcriptase, that gives them the unique property of transcribing their RNA into DNA after entering a cell.
