As you just learned, in real ecosystems, trophic efficiencies usually vary from about 5% to about 20%. as a result, net producti

on diagrams for ecosystems have a pyramid shape. two key factors explain why trophic efficiencies are relatively low, and thus why net production diagrams are shaped like pyramids.

When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are: 
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.

In messenger RNA, each codon calls for a
olganol [36]

Answer: c) amino acid

Explanation: A codon is an mRNA sequence which contains three nucleotides that codes for a particular amino acid. The codons on the mRNA are read by the ribosome during translation and the amino acid coded for by each codon is used to make a protein. There are 64 different codons in existence, each amino acid is coded for by at least one codon. Some amino acids have more than one codon. For example, the amino acid Leucine is coded for by six codons: UUA, UUG, CUU, CUC, CUA and CUG while the amino acid phenylalanine is coded for by two codons: UUU and UUC.
