How energy is conserved even though the amount of energy available

Biology
1 answer:
Marianna [84]3 years ago
4 0
The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

In a population of 200, 86 individuals express the recessive phenotype. What percent of the population would you predict would b
Nitella [24]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. 45%

Explanation:

From the Hardy- Weinberg law, we have;

p² + 2·p·q + q² = 1

p + q = 1

Where:

p = Dom inant allele frequency in the population

q = Recessive allele frequency in the population

p² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are hom ozygous dominant

q² = The percentage of individuals in the population that are homo zygous recessive

2×p×q = The percentage of hete rozyous individuals in the population

The number of individuals that express the recessive phenotype = 86

The number of individuals in the population = 200

The percentage of  individuals that express the recessive phenotype, q² = 86/200 = 0.43

Therefore;

q = √0.43 = 0.656

p + q = 1

p = 1 - q = 1 - 0.656= 0.344

∴ The frequency of  individuals that express the do minant phe notype, p = 0.344

The percentage of heterozyous individuals in the population = 2×p×q × 100 = 2 × 0.656 × 0.344 × 100 = 45.15% ≈ 45%

A small bird gathers pollen and nectar for food, but at the same time is
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

In biology, the term <em>symbiosis </em>refers to close and often long-term interactions between organisms that belong to different species. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships:

  • mutualism - both organisms benefit from their relationship
  • commensalism - one organism benefits, while the other doesn't benefit or suffer any harm
  • parasitism - one organism causes harm to the other

In the given scenario, both the bird and plant benefit from their relationship. The bird gets food, while the plant reproduces more easily. This is why their relationship is an example of mutualism.

Suppose you discovered a mutant yeast whose glycolytic pathway was shorter because of the presence of a new enzyme catalyzing th
Ganezh [65]

Answer:

The correct answer is  the formation of pyruvate from glucose willl be energetically less favorable.

Explanation:

According to the question matunt yeast has a shorter glycolytic pathay catalysing a follwing reaction

 Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate+H2O+NAD+  = 3-phosphoglycerate

So in the mutatant the formation of 1,3- bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.The glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate is directly converted into 3-phosphoglycerate.

    As a result the substrate level phosphorylation step that deals with formation of 3-phosphoglycerate from 1,3  bisphosphoglycerate is not occurring.

  From this point of view it can be said that less energy will be formed in the mutant during glycolysis than that of normal one.

 So the formation of pyruvate from glucose will be energetically less favorable.

Which best describes accuracy
aleksley [76]
Accuracy describes how well a measuring instrument determines the variable it is measuring. How close the value is to real value. The level of accuracy of measuring tool determines the detail to which it can measure. In order to be accurate in their work scientists need first select a measuring instrument that allows an appropriate measure of accuracy and then to calibrate it. Calibrating an instrument involves measuring already known quantities to check how accurately it is. In the laboratory accuracy of a test is determined when possible comparing results from the test in question with results geenrated from an established reference method.
