The answer would be A

7 0

Answer:

Option A , 10 %

Explanation:

Only 10% of the energy is passed on to each trophic level of an energy pyramid. This is because most of the energy available at any trophic level is used by an organism in internal bodily activities like  cell respiration, ATP production, several life processes, metabolism etc. Thus, even though a large amount of energy is taken at a trophic level, nearly 90% of it is used by the organism itself and thus only 10% of the total energy is available for passing onto the next level. This is the reason why organism at the apex of an energy pyramid receives  the least energy.

How much atp is produced from one glucose molecule if no oxygen is available to a muscle cell during contraction?
andrew11 [14]
Production of ATP in the absence of oxygen is called anearobic respiration. Under anaerobic respiration,two molecules of ATP is produced from one molecule of glucose. These ATP are used for energy production by the contracting muscles.

A mutation in the sequence of bacterial DNA encoding the ribosome-binding site (RBS) may result in which of the following? A mut
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

The correct answer is "reduced initiation of translation".

Explanation:

The ribosome-binding site (RBS) is the sequence of DNA responsible for the recruitment of a ribosome, which results in the initiation of protein translation. A mutation that specifically occurs in a bacterial RBS may result in a reduced initiation of translation. A mutated RBS would likely fail to recruit the ribosome, which will affect the level of initiation of translation.

What role do photosynthesis and respiration play in the distribution of gases in seawater?
nydimaria [60]

Answer and explanation;

-The most important life processes in the oceans or sea water are photosynthesis and respiration. Photosynthesis by plants and  other lower organisms uses sunlight to convert CO2 and H2O to a carbohydrate compound; O2 is a by-product of that reaction. Respiration is the process that all organisms use to recover the chemical energy stored in organic compounds. O2 is used to oxidize organic matter and release chemical energy; CO2 and H2O are by-products.

-The rates of photosynthesis and respiration are nearly balanced.all of the organic matter produced by photosynthetic algae is respired by consumer and decomposing organisms.
