The correct option is B.
In the ecosystem, energy flows from one trophic level to the other. The first trophic level is that of the producers which use the energy of the sun to produce their own food. Out of the energy obtained from the sun by the producers only about 3% of it is converted into food products. The second trophic level is made up of the herbivores and the omnivores which eat the plant. Only about 10% of the energy from the plant is transferred to the animals in the second trophic level. These second trophic level animals will also transfer about 10% of the energy they obtain to the animals in the third trophic level when they are eaten. Thus, it can be seen that the energy that is transferred in the ecosystem is gradually reducing from one trophic level to another.

Chymotrypsin is used for polypeptide cleavage on the C side of Trp, Tyr or Phe.

<h3>What is Chymotrypsin?</h3>

Other proteins' aromatic C-terminal amino acids are hydrolyzed by it using an active serine residue. The protease enzyme chymotrypsin cleaves peptide chains at the C-terminal phenylalanine (F), tryptophan (W), and tyrosine (Y) residues.

Since the 1960s, chymotrypsin has been used in clinical settings as an oral proteolytic enzyme preparation. In comparison to a few other enzyme preparations currently on the market, it offers better inflammatory symptom relief and supports a quicker recovery from acute tissue injury.

The inactive monomeric protein chymotrypsinogen, which is produced and secreted by mammalian pancreas, is broken down into chymotrypsin by cleavage of several peptide bonds. As a result, three different polypeptide chains that make up the active enzyme were created.

Why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? why does the reporter have a tube up his nose? to replace the salts and other ion

Helga [31]

The correct answer is to accurately measure core temperature.
The tube seen entering the reporter's nose is a thermistor which is used to measure the core temperature of the body with very high levels of accuracy. The tube reaches the esophagus, which is one of the most preferred locations for measuring the core temperature.
The core body temperature is the operating temperature of the human body and it refers to the temperature of the deeper structures of the body instead of the peripheral tissues.
The esophagus is close to the left ventricle of the heart, it has a deep body location and a quick response to any changes in the body temperature.

Make a list of the haploid forms of the plant

SVEN [57.7K]

During the lifecycle of the plant we can encounter both haploid and diploid forms.
Haploid form of the plant is called a gametophyte. This form was created from spore and enables creation of haploid gametes in the next stage.
