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.

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

9 amino acids

Explanation:

A segment of a gene that has 27 nucleotides will code for<u> 9 amino acids.</u>

<em>Each codon on the gene potentially represents an amino acid and a codon is made up of 3 nucleotides each. Hence, in order to find out the total number of amino acids that a gene segment with 27 nucleotides can code for, the number of nucleotides should be divided by 3.</em>

    number of amino acids = number of nucleotides/3

                     27/3 = 9 codons/amino acids

LIST AT LEAST THREE EXAMPLES OF HOW MICROBIAL PHOTOTROPHS ARE IMPORTANT CLINICALLY AND ENVIRONMENTALLY
zaharov [31]
Cyanobacteria are primitive organisms where chloroplasts are believed to be originated. These phototrophic organisms benefit the environmental and the clinical aspects because of their unique physiology. For instance, they contribute to energy attainment from sunlight which helps other organisms gain energy when this is consumed. Another is the contribution to biogeochemical cycles. And lastly, how these can aid in many medical discoveries and treatments.

Human height is a polygenic trait. This means that the
dalvyx [7]

This means that each dominant allele "adds" to the expression of the next dominant allele. Usually, traits are polygenic when there is wide variation in the trait. For example, humans can be many different sizes. Height is a polygenic trait, controlled by at least three genes with six alleles.

What kind of waves can travel through both matter and empty spcace
velikii [3]

Answer:

An electromagnetic wave

Explanation:

An electromagnetic wave is a transverse wave that can travel across space as well as through matter. When it travels through space, it doesn't lose energy to a medium as a mechanical wave does.

Use a Punnett square diagram to show why, for each pregnancy, the chances of giving birth to either a boy or a girl are 50-50. E
ikadub [295]

Answer:

Because the offspring of a male and female are always going to be xx, xx, xy, or xy.

Explanation:

Remember that men have different reproductive chromesomes than women. Women have 2 x chromesomes(xx) while men have 1 x and 1 y(xy). These are given down to their offspring.

So we can write the this out in a punnet square as(link down below).

After you see the visual, you will find that the genotypes are xx, xx, xy, xy.

As I said above, women have sex chromesomes xx, while men have sex chromesomes xy. When you match the genotypes on the punnet square with the ones we know from men and women, we find that two of them match with men and two match with female.

So with this, we can conclude that 2/4 of offspring will always be male and 2 will be female. And as you well know 2/4 is 1/2 which is 50%.
