Matter that is not used by consumers in the food chain become "detritus". Detritus, meaning debris or waste, are materials that are missed or uneaten by consumers. Because they do not participate in higher trophic levels, these materials are left to decompose. Detritus is often considered the "missing mass" when measuring the total mass in the food chain.

If a particular strand of DNA is found to be 27% adenine, how much guanine would it contain
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

You have 20% of adenine. If you have 20% of adenine than you have 20% of thymine, because the amount of adenine and thymine is equal. 20% plus 20% is 40% of adennine and thymine. From 100% DNA bases subtract 40% and you will get 60%. Then divide this by 2 and you will get 30%. 30% of guanine and 30% of cytosine, because their amounts are equal in the DNA stand.
