kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

c. A to K

Explanation:

If the alanine mutation is restored to K or lysine residue, most likely the wild type level of activity can be restored. This is because, arginine and lysine have -NH2 as the functional group. So, functional similarity of arginine can be expected from lysine as well.

The producers had 6,000 kcal of energy , how much would be passed to the primary consumer?
morpeh [17]

Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.

Which is the best example of a response to an external stimulus?
tigry1 [53]

Answer:

drinking water after a long run

Explanation:

When there arises a change or shift in the state or action of any organism because of any external stimulus, the result is said to be the response to external stimulus. The response or reaction to the external stimulus arises when the organism experiences or senses the stimulus.  

Drinking water after a long run is an example of the response to external stimulus. Here, the external stimulus is the loss of water in the water because of the action of running. This makes the individual drink water which is a response to the external stimulus.
