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.

What will be the theoretcal yield of tungsten(s) ,W, if 45.0 g of WO3 combines as completely as possible with 1.50 g of H2? WO3(
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Theoretical yield of tungsten produced = 35.6836915592  ≈ 35. 68 g

Explanation:

The chemical equation can be expressed as follows;

WO3 (s) + 3H2(g) → W(s) + 3 H20(g)

Note that the equation is already balanced.

Molecular Mass of WO3= 183.84 + 15.999 × 3 = 183.84 + 47.997  = 231.837 g

From the equation 1 mole of WO3 reacts with 3 mole of hydrogen molecule.

Molecular mass of tungsten(W) = 183.84 g

1 mole of tungsten was produced from the chemical equation.

WO3 (s) + 3H2(g) → W(s) + 3 H20(g)

From the equation,

231. 837 g of WO3 produces 183.84 g of tungsten

45.0 g of WO3 will produce ?

grams of tungsten produced = 183.84 × 45 /231.837

grams of tungsten produced = 8272.8 /231.837

Theoretical yield of tungsten produced = 35.6836915592  ≈ 35. 68 g

Class Mammalia is divided into two subgroups: marsupials and placental mammals.
White raven [17]

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

The mammals can be differentiated into three main groups on the basis of the development of their babies. These three groups are marsupials, monotremes, and placental mammals, which is the largest group. The monotremes refer to the mammals, which lay eggs. The marsupials refer to the mammals, which give birth to young ones that are not developed completely. While in a placental mammal, the development takes place within the body of a mother until and unless its systems of the body start to work on their own.

Pairs of Unit Factors, or Genes

Mendel proposed that paired unit factors of heredity were transmitted faithfully from generation to generation by the dissociation and reassociation of paired factors during gametogenesis and fertilization, respectively. After he crossed peas with contrasting traits and found that the recessive trait resurfaced in the F2 generation, Mendel deduced that hereditary factors must be inherited as discrete units. This finding contradicted the belief at that time that parental traits were blended in the offspring.

A gene is made up of short sections of DNA that are contained on a chromosome within the nucleus of a cell. Genes control the development and function of all organs and all working systems in the body. A gene has a certain influence on how the cell works; the same gene in many different cells determines a certain physical or biochemical feature of the whole body (e.g., eye color or reproductive functions). All human cells hold approximately 21,000 different genes.

Genetics is the science of the way traits are passed from parent to offspring. For all forms of life, continuity of the species depends upon the genetic code being passed from parent to offspring. Evolution by natural selection is dependent on traits being heritable. Genetics is very important in human physiology because all attributes of the human body are affected by a person’s genetic code. It can be as simple as eye color, height, or hair color. Or it can be as complex as how well your liver processes toxins, whether you will be prone to heart disease or breast cancer, and whether you will be color
