Answer:

An ecological pyramid (also trophic pyramid, Eltonian pyramid, energy pyramid, or sometimes food pyramid) is a graphical representation designed to show the biomass or bioproductivity at each trophic level in a given ecosystem.

A pyramid of energy shows how much energy is retained in the form of new biomass at each trophic level, while a pyramid of biomass shows how much biomass (the amount of living or organic matter present in an organism) is present in the organisms. There is also a pyramid of numbers representing the number of individual organisms at each trophic level. Pyramids of energy are normally upright, but other pyramids can be inverted or take other shapes.

Ecological pyramids begin with producers on the bottom (such as plants) and proceed through the various trophic levels (such as herbivores that eat plants, then carnivores that eat flesh, then omnivores that eat both plants and flesh, and so on). The highest level is the top of the food chain.

Biomass can be measured by a bomb calorimeter.

What is not a structure used for locomotion in protists?
bogdanovich [222]

Explanation:

Locomotion bacteria, protists and fungi The movement for living beings can be the difference between living and dying, some of the bacteria have the ability to move through two mechanisms: movement by flagella and movement by sliding Movement by phalanges: in bacteria, the Flagella are thin and elongated structures that remain attached to the cell by one end. The flagella are made of a protein called flagelin and its shape is helical, for the movement the flagellum has a system called an engine that is at the base and the wall is connected to the membrane. The motor system works driven by protons that move thanks to the action of the proteins of the base of the scourge., The rotation and movement of the scourge are not constant and depend on stimuli. The flagella are arranged differently according to the type of bacteria, there are peritic, lofotrica and polar flagella.

A single strand of DNA helix consists of 100 nitrogenous base pairs. On one strand, 36 of the bases are adenine and 24 are cytos
Katena32 [7]
Hello!

For the complementary strand of DNA, 36 Thymine bases and 24 Guanine bases would complete the proper base pairing. 

This is given by the concept of complementarity. A base in DNA has complementarity with only one other base. This complementarity is produced by hydrogen bond interactions.

For DNA, Adenine couples with Thymine and Cytosine couples with Guanine. So the 36 adenine bases will couple with 35 thymine bases, and so on. 

Have a nice day!
