Biology

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer 10%. Only 10% of the total energy is transferred to the next trophic level.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

While energy moving from the one trophic ;level to another is lost in many processes.

The transfer is not the 100% due to some reasons like the maintenance of that trophic level.

90 Percent of the produced energy is used in the reproduction of the organisms, their growth, in respiration , movement fighting and other life maintaining processes.

Hence only 10% energy is reached to next trophic level.

During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.

How is phagocytosis in the immune system different from protozoan phagocytosis? how is phagocytosis in the immune system differe
bekas [8.4K]

Phagocytosis is defined as a process of ingestion of bacteria or other infectious agent by phogocytes.

In human beings, the major and professional phagocytes are White Blood cells. These cells are specialized in attacking infectious agents that enters the body and kill them by engulfing them.  

In protozoan, the phagocytosis starts with the ingestion step, in which an infection agent is taken up by protozoans and form a special vacuole like structure which secretes lysosomes enzymes that attack the agent and kill it and then removed from body by egestion.  

Hence, there is not any significant difference between the process of phagocytosis in humans and protozoan; however the steps included vary in both.
