The transfer of energy between trophic levels averages about what percent?

Biology
2 answers:
trapecia [35]3 years ago

<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.

X has successfully been transmitted to your body; you are now infected. All of the following among A-D are possible consequences
Natasha2012 [34]

The complete options to the question includes:

A.You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body.

B.You exhibit mild symptoms of disease and the levels of the pathogen in your body are quickly reduced and eliminated.

C.You succumb to the worst effects of the disease but survive due to administration of antimicrobial agents.

D.You never show any symptoms of disease, but the pathogen persists in your body.

E.There are no exceptions, A-D are all plausible outcomes.

Answer: The correct option is A (You never show any symptoms of disease and there is no sign of the pathogen in your body).

Explanation:

Infectious diseases occurs when an individuals system is invaded by pathogenic microorganisms (virus,bacteria,fungi and parasite). These microorganisms may or may not cause disease but this depends on the healthy state of the host. They can also be transmitted from one person to another.

To explain the options why all are plausible outcomes when X has successfully been transmitted into the body except A includes:

B) option B can occur when the immune system of the host is able to combat X.

C.) Option C can occur when antimicrobial is given to suppress the activities of X

D) option D can occur when the individual may become an asymptomatic carrier of X. ( Individual shows no symptoms and signs of disease caused by X but the pathogen is still present in the body).

But option A is not possible as X must be present to show there was a transmission.

Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases
Scrat [10]

Answer:

The effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases is that it binds to the RNA polymerases, and reduces the process of translocation which is essential for RNA synthesis that is required for RNA polymerases elongation.

Explanation:

Amanitin is a peptide that is cyclic in nature. It is repelled by water thereby making it an hydrophobic peptide.

Amanitin is a toxic peptide that is found in Amanita ( a type of mushroom).

Alpha Amanitin in particular is the one that affects the elongation rate of RNA Polymerases in the body.

When Alpha Amanitin gets into the body system, it travels straight to the liver and due to its very strong affinity for RNA polymerases, it immediately attaches itself to them.

After the attachment, Alpha Amanitin, is disturbs the bridge helix found in RNA polymerase, preventing the hindering and slowing down the proces of translocation from happening.

Once translocation is hindered, RNA is no longer synthesized. Hence, the elongation of RNA polymerases is hindered and this results in severe illness in the body such as liver failure, cytolysis of the liver
