1. The organisms at lower trophic levels have more consumable energy which provides the whale with more energy that organisms at other trophic levels.
2. Agree
3. Depending on the food chain, organisms can be on multiple trophic levels. For example, lions can be both a tertiary and secondary consumer.
Glucose + ATP -----> glucose~P + ADP
Answer:
B) snow
due to the below freezing temperatures of the upper atmosphere then the slightly above freezing temperatures of the surface it would cause it to the rain to turn into snow
Answer:
Non-coding DNA regions play important roles in regulating transcriptional activity by encoding different types of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), acting as scaffold attachment regions, acting as enhancer specific regions, etc.
Explanation:
Historically, it had been believed that non-coding DNA sequences were 'junk DNA' since they don't encode for proteins (beyond the sequences that are transcribed into functional non-coding RNAs, i.e., transfer RNA and ribosomal RNA). However, in the last years, it has been shown that non-coding DNA sequences play critical roles in regulating gene expression and genome function. For example, evolutionary conserved non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with regulatory roles on gene expression such as, for example, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) have been mapped in non-coding DNA sequences, thereby evidencing the functional significance of these regions. In consequence, the conservative nature of certain non-coding DNA sequences evidence that mutations in such regions may have significant deleterious effects, and thereby they could have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual.
