Answer:

40%

Explanation:

Remember that guanine always pairs with cytosine, and thymine always pairs with adenine. That means that any time there is a guanine, there is always a cytosine.

If there are 10% guanines, then there are 10% cytosines. That means the total of guanines and cytosines is 20%.

The other 2 bases (thymine and adenine) have to make up the rest of the bases. That means they have to make up 100-20 = 80%.

Again, there will be equal amounts of thymine and adenine, so 80%/2 = 40%.

Homeostasis and thermoregulation

When temperatures are too low, these processes may be disrupted, which can lead to cellular damage and even death. Homoeothermic endotherms, such as bears, bats, and birds, regulate their body temperature by generating heat internally.

How does energy move through your ecosystem? think about the producers (plants) and how energy moves from producers to other org
GrogVix [38]
The Sun provides energy for the plants (producers) to grow. Herbivores (primary consumers) then eat the producers for energy. Any animals that eat the herbivores are considered secondary consumers. As this cycle continues, energy is lost to the environment as heat.
