<h3>Answer</h3>

Approximately 40% of the energy stored in sugar molecules is converted into energy and the remaining 60% is wasted as heat energy.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Cellular respiration is the process which take place inside a living organism by which organic compounds, usually carbohydrates, are broken down releasing energy that is used to produce ATP molecules that supplies energy/power to cells.

<h3>Example of respiration</h3>

C6H12O6 + 6O2 —– enzymes & coenzymes ——> 6CO2 + 6H2O + Release of Energy (≤38 ATP) + Heat

So, 40% of the available energy of glucose is release as ATP and the remaining 60% is lost as heat and helps to generate your relatively high body temperature.

Each fossil with the layer where it will be present based on are layer A-BIRDS, layer B -dinosaurs , layer C-amphibians, layer D-Corals ,layer E -trilobites.

<h3>What is the oldest fossil layer?</h3>

The Pilbara area of western Australia's Strelley Pool is home to the oldest known fossils. Stromatolites are fossilized mats of microorganisms wedged between sedimentary layers. The fossils have an age of 3.4 billion years.

<h3>How are the layers containing the fossils organized?</h3>

The Law of Superposition, which asserts that in undisturbed rock sequences, the bottom layers are earlier than the top ones, is the foundation for this theory. Because of this, certain fossil discoveries can be dated using the strata—a particular stratum of rock—in which they were discovered.

Construct an explanation to predict the type of symbiotic relationship that exists between the hippo and oxpecker birds?

Allisa [31]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<h2><em><u>The hippopotamus and the oxpecker bird are in a mutualistic and parasitic relationship. This is because the oxpecker bird gets food and protection from the hippopotamus. However, the bird gets food by making little cuts in the hippopotamus to obtain insects. This isn't entirely harmful to the hippopotamus though.</u></em></h2>

fenix001 [56]

Answer:

A = Activator

B = Effector

Explanation:

An activator is a protein which typically binds to a short (50–1500 bp) region of DNA which might be located either upstream (mainly) or downstream of a gene so as to cause increased transcription. This particular region of DNA is known as enhancer and activator is also known as transcription factor. Activator is a trans-acting factor which binds to the cis-acting factor which is enhancer so as to enhance transcriptional expression.

But another protein named as effector may restrict activator from binding to the enhancer leading to a decrease in transcriptional expression by binding to the activator allosterically. Allosteric binding of effector to the activator causes conformational change in activator so it can no longer bind the enhancer.
