A shark eats a penguin that has recently been feeding on some krill. The penguin has 100 joules worth of energy, but the shark u

ltimately gains only about 10 joules. Where does the rest of the energy go? It is destroyed and cannot be recovered. It was used by the penguin as it tried to get away from the shark. It is used for cell functions or transformed to heat energy. It reverts back to the krill that the penguin ate.

Answer:

Option C, It is used for cell functions or transformed to heat energy

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, the energy obtained by an organism I by consuming any other organism II is just the 10% of the total energy contained with in organism II. 90% of the energy of the organism is used by the organism itself to carry out various cellular metabolic processed and to provide energy for all other physical processed with in the body. Therefore, when a shark eats a penguin, it only gets 10 joules of energy (which is equal to 10% of total energy contained within the penguin)

Hence, option C is the correct answer.

- ¿Qué ruta sigue cada uno DE LOS TRIGLICERIDOS en su afán de obtener energía?… ¡sí, energía llamada ATP! - Ruta metabólica que
Fed [463]

Answer:

Los trigliceridos antes de ser disociados en moleculas energeticas necesitan ser absorvidos.

Para eso es importante aclarar que se absorbe nen elintestino en forma de quilomicron, por su caracteristica hidrofuga y son emulsionados por el jugo pancreatico y los jugos provenientes de la vesicula.

Una vez absorbido, este puede seguir diferentes rutas metabolicas de un cuerdo a la necesidad energetica de la persona.

En el caso que una persona obtiene energía de un acido graso o de su reserva adiposa es por que no hay mas reserva de glucogeno, es decir en ayunos prolongados, en personas con dificultad de asimulacion glucosidica como los diabeticos, personas con trastornos anorexicos recientes.

Explanation:

Las grasas contienen una gran aporte de ATP posterior a la adicion de CO2 y H20, en los procesos de beta oxidacion y el ciclo del acido citrico.

El metabolismo de estos se considera toxico en momentos prolongados ya que el  producto de su metabolizacion son los cuerpos cetonicos. Los cuerpos cetonicos aumentan la cetoacidosis de la sangre y atraviezan la barrera hematoencefalica.

El ph por la cetoacidosis disminuye generando toxicidad tisular y del snc, hiperventilacion, hipercapnia, cansancio, aliento cetonico, fallo proteico de algunos complejos enzimaticos de nuestro organismo.

Ademas esimportante aclarar que el ser humano obtiene carbohidratos del glicerol y no de la porcion de acidos grasos.

Mendel knew that the variations in the offspring
larisa [96]

Answer:

controlled the fertilization process.

Explanation:

Mendel took precautions to avoid contamination by pollen through self pollination of the P generation. He controlled the fertilization processes between the plants. He self pollinated the first pureline varieties to form the P generation. He then cross pollinated them to get F1 generation. Every step of his experiment was controlled.

Which statements correctly describe mutations in gametes and mutations in somatic cells?
ASHA 777 [7]

A mutation is a rare, accidental or induced modification of genetic information (DNA or RNA sequence) in the genome.


The consequences of a mutation vary according to the part of the genome affected. A mutation is said to be hereditary if the mutated genetic sequence is passed on to the next generation.

In multicellular animals, germline mutations can be transmitted to offspring, whereas somatic mutations do.


Somatic mutations do not affect cells intended for reproduction, so they are never hereditary:

* Post-zygotic mutations are the mutations that appear in the egg after fertilization. They are rarer and are expressed as mosaic in the individual concerned (the mutation will be present only in the daughter cells originating from the mutated embryonic cell).

* Mutations can appear throughout life on the DNA of any cell; they are then transmitted to the line of the daughter cells. These can, in some cases, become tumor cells and then form cancer.
