The dna is not copied before meiosis 2
1.) It is True that when a cell is put into an isotonic solution, individual water molecules cannot move back and forth across the cell membrane.
2) It is False that a when a cell is put into a hypertonic solution, there is a net movement of water molecules across the cell membrane into the cell.
3) It is True that when a cell is out into a hypotonic solution, there is net movement.
4) It is False that the movement of any solvent across a semi-permeable membrane is called osmosis.
Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
