How can pollution be found in greater amounts at higher trophic levels compared to lower trophic levels? 

Biology
1 answer:
harkovskaia [24]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Bioconcentration occurs at higher trophic levels because most often organisms at higher trophic levels are bigger and will consume several organisms of lower trophic level over their lifetime. Therefore the higher the trophic levels the more bioaccumulants will bioaccumulate in the organisms.

Linear equations are used to represent relations that have constant rates

The linear regression equation that models the data in this table is \^y = 2.40476x + 0.33333

<h3>Regression equation using a graphing calculator</h3>

To calculate the regression equation, we make use of a graphing calculator.

Using the graphing calculator, we have the following data:

  • Sum of X = 28
  • Sum of Y = 70
  • Mean X = 3.5
  • Mean Y = 8.75
  • Sum of squares (SSX) = 42
  • Sum of products (SP) = 101
<h3 /><h3>Formulating the regression equation</h3>

The regression equation is represented as:

\^y = b\^x + a

Where:

b = \frac{SP}{SSX} and a = MY - bMX

So, we have:

b = \frac{101}{42}

b = 2.40476

Also, we have:

a = MY - bMX

a= 8.75 - 2.4\times 3.5

a= 0.33333

Hence, the linear regression equation is:

\^y = 2.40476x + 0.33333

At one time, membrane biologists thought that transport proteins might act by binding a solute molecule or ion on one side of th
Ivahew [28]

Answer:

The process of passage of different molecules, solutes, and liquids, through the phospholipid bilayer in human cells, and really in all animal cells, is highly dependent on a tight coordination between chemical, and thermodynamic balances, that will collaborate in these elements being able to pass, or not pass, through a cell´s membrane, and activate other mechanisms within the cell when their passage is not possible. Unlike what was once believed, that transport proteins were like buses parked at the membrane and waiting to be loaded with molecules to later remove themselves from the membrane and carry their load into the cytoplasm, scientific research has found that this is definitely so, and that transport proteins do not come off the layer to transport  molecules. They are permanently anchored to the membrane and through a series of second messenger systems, energy produced by the passage of certain ions like potassium and sodium, and other such processes, these transport proteins become activated, allow the passage of molecules and change them in such a way that they can be taken into the cell in vesicles, or, they will anchor them to second messengers, who will be responsible for carrying the molecule inside.

From the list of words given and the two sentences down below, which are two reasons why the earlier believed models for transport proteins are not correct would be:

1. Integral membrane proteins are embedded stably in the membrane and protrude from one or both side based on their hydrophobic, or hydrophilic, regions. These sides will not switch because of the disbalance that would be created if the two sides had to be switched chemically to allow them to pass to the opposie sides.

2. For protein to traverse a membrane, movement of its hydrophilic regions through the interior of the membrane would be required, which would be highly endergonic and hence thermodynamically improbable.

How is a food web different from a food chain?
kompoz [17]
A food web has many different links; It links off into different animals. Where as a food chains just a line of single animals that eat those animals for example: like hawks eat bunnies and bunnies eat grass and grass is the producer.
