scZoUnD [109]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

The amount of energy in the first level determines how many animals can be supported on the subsequent levels.

The first level of the energy pyramid usually consists of the producers which are the main source of energy for a food web or a food chain. They determine that how many number of species can be supported by the particular ecosystems at each subsequent levels of the energy pyramid. They are the main source through which energy arises in an ecosystem.

The diagram shows three steps in the carbon cycle.
Bumek [7]

Answer:

A. Cellular respiration

C. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

There are two main processes occurs in the carbon cycle i.e. cellular respiration and photosynthesis. Plants absorb carbondioxide gas from the atmosphere through small openings called stomata. The carbondioxide enters the leaves and combine with water produces glucose and oxygen. Glucose is stored in different parts of plant whereas some oxygen is used by the plant and the remaining oxygen is releases in the atmosphere while on the other hand, in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP, carbondioxide gas and water.

Which of these is NOT a way, or a proposed way, to store nuclear fuel rods after they have been used in a nuclear reactor? A) pu
Ainat [17]
The answer is C.)sending them on the shuttle to be suspended in space. This is the answer because  after  the nuclear fuel rods come out of the reactor, they go into a deep pool to cool off. Then they are then stored in concrete and lead-lined casks for dry storage, until, ultimately, the US government builds a deep underground storage facility to house them permanently. They are never sent on the shuttle to be suspended in space<span>. It would be too costly and too dangerous.</span>

What is not a step in most scientific investigations
Mariulka [41]

Question options:

1. developing a hypothesis to explain collected data

2. proving a theory and writing a new scientific law  

3. collecting data through observation and measurement

4. observing and experimenting to test a hypothesis

Answer:

2. proving a theory and writing a new scientific law  

Explanation:

Providing a theory and write a new scientific law is not a step of scientific investigation. To prove a law a theory, its take many years of research.

There are steps of scientific investigations below,

1. Make an Observation.

2. Form a Question.

3. Form a Hypothesis.

4. Conduct an Experiment.

5. Analyze the Data and

6. Draw a Conclusion.

These step of scientific investigation does not include to write a theory and scientific law.

Describe how a plasmid can be genetically modified to include a piece of foreign dna that alters the phenotype of bacterial cell
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Simple version:

First, the section with the desirable gene must be identified. Assuming that has already happened, the section of DNA must be excised from the original genome using restriction enzymes, which recognize certain DNA sequences and snip DNA at those sites. DNA ligase is used to "glue" these ends back together. The DNA is inserted into a plasmid (also with restriction enzymes), which would usually contain antibiotic-resistance genes (so they survive in an environment containing the antibiotic, which would also help show if the bacteria have been successfully transformed). 

Then comes the actual transformation process. The bacteria to be transformed are mixed with calcium chloride (which causes the bacteria to be more receptive to the plasmids) and then mixed with the plasmids. The bacterial cells are subjected to a heat shock (the solution is heated and rapidly cooled, e.g. by placing the mixture in a hot water bath and quickly transferred to ice) so they will take up the plasmid (since the temperature change makes the membrane more permeable). The bacteria are placed on a growth medium containing the antibiotic they're resistant to. Only those successfully transformed would survive.
