. How does an energy pyramid help to describe energy flow in a food web?

Biology

They help to describe the energy flow in a food web because of the transfers of energy between levels.

At the bottom of the pyramid you have technically the most energy. These would be things like grass, bugs, or even plankton and small cells if you want to go down that low. But these things individually don’t contain a lot of energy but put together they contain the most energy in the pyramid because there’s so many of them. As you go up the pyramid the energy in each organism becomes more and more concentrated, though there’s less and less of them. On average there is only about a 10% energy transfer from a lower level to an upper level. So the most energy would be on the bottom, but spread apart, and the least energy would be on the top, but very concentrated.

Which of the following is not a mechanism for establishment of the microbiota of newborns?
Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

e. all of the above mechanisms for establishment of the microbiota in newborns

Explanation:

To a greater or lesser extent, all of the above contribute to the development of a newborn's microbiota.

The concept here is that the baby is immersed in a novel environment. It implies that any minimal interaction or physical contact can lead to the conditioning of the microbiota depending on that environment.

Also to clarify, there is not only one microbiote. There is a digestive, an intestinal, pulmonary, etc...

Using the brake pedal analogy, explain the impact on the cell cycle of one mutated tumor suppressor gene allele versus two mutat
Pavlova-9 [17]
Tumor suppressor genes typically inhibit division of cancer cells and preventing tumor formation.Mutation in this gene result in loss of function so it is typically recessive. This means that tumor suppressor genes acts as brake  in formation of cancer cell. It prevents the growth of tumors. If one brake (one tumor suppressor gene) is defective it can still stop the car or cancer formation. However, since mutation in tumor suppressor gene is recessive, if two brakes are defective the car will not stop. Or the tumor will be expressed and be formed.
