Answer:

The size is reduced as 80-95% of the available energy at one trophic level is not transferred to the next

Explanation:

There is loss of energy as it is transferred between trophic levels. The decrease in energy as it moves up the pyramid is due to energy loss as metabolic heat when one organism is consumed by another from the next level as it moves up the trophic levels.

<span>The answer is C.glycolysis ® Krebs cycle ® electron transport chain. There are 3 stages of cellular respiration: 1. glycolysis when glucose is broken down to pyruvate in the cytoplasm; 2. Krebs cycle when Acetyl CoA and oxaloacetate form a 6 C-atoms compound; 3. Electron transport chain when hydrogen molecules removed through previous stages are pumped to the chain and energy is produced.</span>

Vanyuwa [196]

Step 1
Glucose enters glycolysis pathway and glycolysis yields pyruvate, then pyruvate undergoes processing.
step 2
Pyruvate processing ;releases acetylCOA which joins the citric acid cycle.
Step 3
The citric acid cycle yields 2ATP and CO2 and also releases NADH and FADH2 to electron transport chain and chemiosmosis.
Step 4
Chemiosmosis and electron transport chain yields 25 ATP molecules and H2O Oxygen enters electron transport chain and osmosis.

What happens to the concentration of free water molecules when a substance dissolves in the water?

777dan777 [17]

If you are adding something to the water the concentration of water would drop, as it would start off as 100% water but then with the addition of another substance it would change that from 100% free to x% free, due to the water dissolving the substance.
