Explanation:

Edit

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 represents how much energy, initially from the sun, is retained or stored in the form of new biomass at each trophic level in an ecosystem. Typically, about 10% of the energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next, thus preventing a large number of trophic levels. Energy pyramids are necessarily upright in healthy ecosystems, that is, there must always be more energy available at a given level of the pyramid to support the energy and biomass requirement of the next trophic level.

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.

Photosynthesis and Cellular Respiration: Are They Similar?
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

The two processes are similar in that they both produce energy, albeit in two different forms. ... The win-win of the two processes is that they both provide each other with the necessary ingredients for the process to take place: glucose and oxygen for cellular respiration, carbon dioxide and water for photosynthesis.

What are the base pairs for RNA?
shusha [124]

Answer:

{\boxed {\sf Adenine \ with  \ Uracil}}

\boxed {\sf Cytosine \ with \ Guanine }}

Explanation:

In RNA (ribonucleic acids), the nitrogen bases are:

  • Adenine
  • Guanine
  • Cytosine
  • <em>Uracil</em> (there is thymine in DNA, but not in RNA)

The bases pair like:

  • Adenine (A) with Uracil (U)
  • Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)

So, the base pairs for RNA are <u>A with U </u>and <u>C with G</u>

When does the exponential growth of a population stop?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

When the population reaches its carrying capacity.

Explanation:

As a population grows, there is more competition for resources which can limit a population. There are also natural disasters that can play a role too such as disease. Another factor that is part of carrying capacity is the size of the habitat. If there is no room, then the population cannot increase.
