Answer:

About 10%

Explanation:

The energy flow of the food chain is cyclical: It starts in the producing organisms and goes to the decomposers, which turn the organic matter into inorganic, making the energy to be used again by the producers.

Along the food chain, about only 10% of the energy is transferred to the next trophic level. This is because much of the energy is lost, either in the form of heat, in maintaining the vital functions of beings or in reproduction.

Therefore, as energy passes from one organism to another, more food is needed to meet the energy needs of the next consumer.

A plastic bottle contains 32.5 L of gas at a pressure of 45.7 kPa and

Monica [59]

Answer:

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 32.5 Liters

Initial pressure = 45.7 kPa

Final volume = 4.1 Liters

To find the final pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by;

$PV = K$

$P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}$

Substituting into the equation, we have;

$45.7 * 32.5 = P_{2} * 4.1$

$1485.25 = 4.1P_{2}$

$P_{2} = \frac {1485.25}{4.1}$

$P_{2} = 362.26$

Final pressure, P2 = 362.26 kPa

All strains of human papillomavirus (HPV) are capable of integrating their double-stranded DNA viral genome into host basal cell

Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

Oncogenes.

Explanation:

Cancer is the harmful disease that causes several death in the world. Cancer occur due to the mutation in the genes that are responsible for the regulation of apoptosis and cell divisions.

The virus are also oncogenic in nature and can cause several different type of cancer. The human papilloma virus can be transmitted from the skin contact. The virus cause cervical cancer and genital warts. The integration of this virus into host genome increases the expression of viral oncogenes in the host DNA.

Thus, the answer is oncogenes.
