Answer:

Only 10% of energy of the biomass is transferred from organism into another organism while the 90% of energy is lost as a heat energy.

Explanation:

The biomass is transferred from one organism into another by eating of organism. The body of organism converts the biomass eaten into micro-molecules such as glucose, amino acid and fatty acid etc. When organism eats another organism, only 10% of energy of the biomass is transferred from organism into another organism while the 90% of energy is lost as a heat energy. When we go up in the energy pyramid, the number of organisms decreases because there is less food available for the organisms that is present at the top of the pyramid. For example, if there are 1000 of herbivores present in the jungle so the carnivores number are in 100, it is because 1000 herbivores can feed only 100 carnivores. So that's why population decreases when we go up in the energy pyramid.

list 5 animals that live in the desert. Write a paragraph telling me how they can survive in this particular biome. What feature
NARA [144]

5 desert animals are camel, sand cat, desert tortoises, desert lizards and the great road runner.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Camel has several physiological and behavioral adaptations that help them survive the extreme conditions of the desert. They have flat feet to help them spread their weight in the sand.
  • They have thick eyelashes and closeable nostrils to prevent the entry of sand. They store fat on their humps that supplies energy during long journeys and has a long large intestine which increases water reabsorption.
  • Sand cat is similar to the domestic cat in basic appearance but has several adaptations enabling it to survive in the desert. Their paws are covered with thick and long hairs to protect the feet from the heat. They have thick fur that acts as an insulting surface during hot days and cold nights.  
  • Desert tortoises have excellent water storage capacity. Their bladders are larger than normal and can carry extra water. They have strong feet which helps them to dig holes in the sand and access rainwater.
  • Desert lizards can drink water through skin. They do it by a process called cutaneous water acquisition and it helps them to gather water obtained from rainfall, damp sand and pools.
  • Great roadrunner has peculiar adaptations. The digestive system of the bird retrieves water from the feces as it is in the excretory canal.

TiliK225 [7]
<span>Compound Microscope Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

</span><span>Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.</span>

Antibiotics such as piperacillin and tazobactam, imipenem and cilastatin, or meropenem can be used for the treatment of Fecal coliform bacteria that causes fecal contamination. There are some other methods also used to avoid Fecal contamination i.e. boiling of water, treating water with chlorine, or UV disinfection are the methods that are used to reduce Fecal coliform bacterial infection.
