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.

The polypeptide encoded by the glucose carrier gene has a signal sequence. As a result, the ribosome and the polypeptide that is
olganol [36]

Answer:

The correct words for the three blanks are as follows:

1. Endoplasmic reticulum. 2. Golgi apparatus. 3. Facilitated diffusion.

Explanation:

During the translation stage of protein synthesis, signal sequences are either attached or excluded from a synthesized protein in order to indicate the right location it should be sent to. Proteins that possess signal sequences are usually sent to the endoplasmic reticulum, where they will be folded into their right shapes. From the endoplasmic reticulum the proteins are then transported into Golgi apparatus via membrane vesicles. In the Golgi apparatus, proteins undergo their final modifications before they are transported to their final destinations. The final destination of glucose carrier proteins is the plasma membrane, where they help glucose molecules to enter the cell via facilitated diffusion.

Determine the cause of acceleration in each scenario. An airplane turning from south to west at constant speed is accelerating d
Elden [556K]

Answer 1) : Change in direction.

Explanation : When an airplane starts to turn from south to west at constant speed gets accelerated due to change in direction. The change in direction of the airplane causes the airplane to accelerate in the direction of west while it was moving in south. Here the acceleration is being affected because of the change in direction of the object moving with a constant speed.

Answer 2) Change in direction and increasing speed.

Explanation : When a biker was riding at the speed of 5 m/s north and then changed the direction to west at an increased speed of 7 m/s this was due to increased speed and change in the direction of the bike.

There was two factors which contributed to change the acceleration in this case. It was because of change in speed of the bike and also because of change in direction. This kept the bike in acceleration by increasing the speed while changing the direction.

Answer 3) Increasing speed.

Explanation : While the shopping cart was observed to speed up on the runaway while it goes down a hill gets accelerated due to change in its speed.

In this case, when the shopping cart is been released from the upside runaway; as it goes down it gains more speed due to the slope of the runaway. This is because the acceleration is increasing because there is increase in the speed of the shopping cart.
