Why are there always more producers than consumers in a food chain?

Because for example one large eagle needs lots of small sparrows to eat. There is usually a food pyramid so for example you could display it along the lines of 1,000 worms are eaten by 20 sparrows which are eaten by 1 eagle. Its just the way things are. It is a fine balance. if you went up to two eagles on same land they would run out of food quickly and then would either starve or have to move on and using up all the food doesnt help them so it needs to be in a fine balance. A balanced ecosystem.

At the base of each food chain, there are producers, namely autotrophic organisms, ie capable of organizing the chemical compounds in the soil (or water), so as to independently produce food reserves (sugars, starch). This process can be achieved by using the energy provided by photosynthesis. The producers are the only living things that can convert solar energy (light energy + thermal energy) into chemical energy (binding energy).

Answer:

The one treated with DNase and protease

Explanation:

The samples that will transform yellow into purple if RNA is the genetic material are the ones treated with DNase and protease respectively.

The treatment of the heat-killed sample of the purple life with DNase will ensure that the DNA in the sample becomes degraded while treatment with protease will ensure that protein is degraded, leaving only the RNA. Thus, the RNA can be taken up by the yellow life form and become transformed into purple if indeed RNA is the genetic material.

The sample treated with RNase cannot transform the yellow life into purple because the RNase catalyzes the degradation of RNA into smaller components.

Explain how he interaction between mRNA codons and tRNA codons anticodons codes for a specific amino acid

Julli [10]

The interactions between the mRNA codons and the tRNA anticodons codes for a specific amino acid is by, it is the job of the tRNA to start working after the mRNA has able to have its own complementary copy. The mRNA will undergo to the nucleus and will move out, in order to go the rrna. The three nucleotides codes the specific amino acid of the trna. The trna and the mrna will be matched, it will now release the amino acid in the trna that wil form a peptide bond. When the mrna is able to be decoded to form an amino acid, it will now have the ability to break and make proteins in different structures.

Correct answer: C). Cells are the basic building blocks of life but do not constitute life itself

Cell theory in a biology is a scientific theory, which is universally accepted and it states that all living organism are made up of one or more cells, cell is the building block of living thing, it also states that all cell arise from ore existing cells.

The cell theory is collection of ideas and conclusion, which were given after many years of continuous research and experiment of many scientist, which tells about the cell and how it operates.
