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.

If the Greenland ice sheet melted, approximately how much would the sea level rise worldwide? (1 meter = 3.28 feet)
Ksenya-84 [330]

Due to the general core field and psychic naturalism measurements of the ice sheet, the top water sheet level would rise approximately 353 meters.

It's quite sad, as the poles require an uneven lining, where if we lose that uneven lining, all warm blooded species are surely doomed.

"the medulla, the pons, and the cerebellum are three main parts of the ______."
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The medulla, pons, and the cerebellum are three main parts of the hindbrain.

Brain is the centre of the nervous system. It is enclosed in the skull cranium. The primary regions of the brain are the forebrain, midbrain and the hindbrain. The forebrain consists of the cerebrum and diencephalon. The midbrain is a small tubular region between the forebrain and the hindbrain. The hindbrain is made up of the medulla oblongata, pons and cerebellum.

Cerebellum is the second largest portion of the brain which helps in maintaining the body's equillibrium, coordinates muscular movements and body posture. Pons is the structure located in the brain stem which relays impulses from medulla to cerebellum and vice versa. Medulla oblongata is the lowest part of the brain stem controlling involuntary reflexes and has the respiratory and cardiac centres in it controlling respiration and heart beats respectively.

what were some of the strange and unexpected things that scientists discovered when they analyzed the human genome? (the video)
OlgaM077 [116]

<span>Before the completion of the Human Genome Project, it took few years before the well-known forecasts stated that humans had at least 100,000 genes. But latest Human Genome Project evaluates lowered number to a more timid range of 20,000 to 25,000. It has helped to narrow the range of feasible genes and to separate certain candidates as supplying to particular diseases. Scientists have also re-evaluated past conclusions, such as the idea that genes are self-restrained, detached pieces of DNA with defined character. They now know that some genes that tasks simultaneously can make more than one protein; where in fact the average gene might make three proteins. Also, genes will be visible to grab genetic code from other DNA parts</span>

Marizza181 [45]

Bacteria are classified into five groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters. Bacteria are found in every habitat on Earth: soil, rock, oceans and even arctic snow.
