A plant absorbs 200 J/g of energy from the sun. A cow eats the plant and absorbs 120 J/g of energy. The cow is fed to a group of

humans who absorb 70 J/g from the meat. What is the main reason the energy consumption decreases from one consumption to the next?

Majority of energy, around 90% in fact, is lost between each trophic level, mostly due to the energy usage of sustaining life, and a lot is lost as thermal energy.

How many new volumes would each new cell contain whenever a cell splits?
Elenna [48]
The specific volume will be different for various kinds of cells. The safe answer would be that the new cell will pretty much have the same volume as the one that it divided from. This is true for most eukaryotic cells unless other factors like epigenetics or mutations come into place.

One example of moments a cell would increase in volume is during hypertrophy. This simply means that the cell is increasing in size (compared to: hyperplasia -- which is an increase in number of the cells). Hypertrophy is definitely an increase in volume of the cell but this doesn't necessarily translate to cell division (i.e. just because the cell is big now, doesn't mean it will still be big when it divides).

Another moment of increasing volume of the cell and now also related to cell division would be during the two stages in the cell cycle (i.e., G1 and G2 phases). This is the growth phase of the cell preparing to divide. However when mitosis or division happens, the cells will normally end with the same volume as when it started.

This are safe generalizations referring to the human cells. It would help if a more specific kind of cell was given.

Animal cells are placed in an isotonic solution. THEN, additional amounts of solute are added to the solution. What happens to t
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The animal cell will shrink due to loss of water to the external solution

Explanation:

An isotonic solution is that solution which has equal concentration with its external environment. Hence, no net movement of water occurs in an isotonic solution since there is no concentration gradient. Therefore, if an animal cell is placed in an isotonic solution at first, no net movement of water occurs because the intracellular and extracellular concentrations are at equilibrium.

However, if more solutes are added to the solution, it makes the solution HYPERTONIC to the cell i.e greater in concentration. This creates an osmotic gradient and causes water to move out of the animal cell into the solution in accordance to osmotic principles (movement of water from a low concentration of solute to high concentration of solute). This causes the animal cell to likely SHRINK.
