Answer:
The correct answer is - D. Meerkats are at a lower trophic level in the ecosystem than eagles, and the amount of energy stored in the meerkat population is less than that in the eagle population.
Explanation:
The sun's energy is stored in plants by photosynthesis. The insects are next in the food chain of life where their energy is then given to the meerkats or other small animals once eaten. The snakes and eagle-like birds are getting their energy and food from the meerkats.
The producers (plants) produce the energy so they are the first on the pyramid of the trophic level or lowest trophic level. Next are the primary consumers which get their energy and food from the producers. The meerkats would fit into this primary consumer or secondary consumer class. At that point, the tertiary consumers or predators come in, this would be the creatures that eat the primary consumers.
Answer:
a) Most alcohol is metabolized in the small intestine.
b) Food in the stomach slows the absorption of alcohol.
c) Alcohol inhibits the release of anti diuretic hormone, which can lead to dehydration.
Explanation:
About 80 % of alcohol is absorbed by the stomach while 20 % of alcohol is absorbed by stomach. Food materials such as lipids etc slow down alcohol absorption by the intestine because the valve that is present between stomach and small intestine is closed if food is present in the stomach. Alcohol decreases the release of anti diuretic hormone, so low water is removed from the body and reduce dehydration.
Answer;
Plants control solute concentration in their bodies by regulating uptake from the soil.
Explanation;
Uptake of water from the roots is undertaken by process called osmosis. Solute concentrations increase going from soil to root cells to leaf cells. The resulting differences in osmotic pressure helps to push water upward in the plant. This helps the plant control solute concentrations.
Instrinsic factor is the stomach secretion necessary for normal hemoglobin production in RBCs.
A defect in the cones results in difficulty in visual detection of color and fine detail.
Color vision deficiency represents a group of conditions that affect the perception of color. Red-green color vision defects are the most common form of color vision deficiency. Affected individuals have trouble distinguishing between some shades of red, yellow, and green. Blue-yellow distinguishing between some shades of blue and green and cause difficulty distinguishing dark blue from black.
