Energy is transferred with 90 percent less than the previous amount. For instance, producers start with 100 percent of energy considering they, well, produce the energy. Then, an herbivore comes and eats said producer, but only receives 10 percent of the energy. And so on and so forth as energy decreases as more consumers come along, which is why those at the top of the food web/chain typically eat more.

Hope this helps!

Look up viruses. Write a short summary of what they are and what they do.

vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Viruses are neither prokaryotes nor eukaryotes because they lack all of the characteristics of living things except for the ability to reproduce. They are considered parasitic because they cannot live or replicate without a living host. Viruses consist of genetic material (either DNA or RNA), a protein coat, and sometimes a lipid envelope surrounding the protein coat. They have no function except to reproduce.

Why do cells divide instead of just grow larger?

kherson [118]

Answer: As we all grow, why don’t the cells just get bigger instead of getting more of them? Cells are limited in size because the outside (the cell membrane) must transport the food and oxygen to the parts inside.
