A plant absorbs 200 J/g of energy from the sun. A cow eats the plant and absorbs 20 J/g of energy. The cow is fed to a group of

humans who absorb 2 J/g from the meat. What is the main reason the energy consumption decreases from one consumption to the next?

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed.

Which explanation below best describes why meiosis produces haploid cells?
Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

Egg and sperm cells have to have half the number of chromosomes as in  body cells so when they combine to form a zygote, the zygote is diploid  and has the correct number of chromosomes. This explanation describes why meiosis produces haploid cells.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division in which four haploid cells are produced from a diploid parent cell having two copies of each chromosome, where the number of chromosomes in the parent cell is reduced to half by undergoing DNA replication and nuclear division. Diploid cell contains two copies of each chromosome, one inherited from mother and the other from father while haploid cell contains only one copy of each chromosome. Examples of diploid cells (somatic cells) are skin, blood, muscle cells etc. Eggs or ovum (female gametes) and sperm (male gametes) are haploid reproductive cells. If the total number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is represented as '2n', then the number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is 'n'.  During the fertilization process in an organism, the correct number of chromosomes is restored when the haploid male and female gamete combined to form a single diploid zygote, which is the first developmental stage of an organism.

Which of these is not a property of lymphatic capillaries?
Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

They are smaller than blood capillaries.

Explanation:

Lymphatic capillaries drains the extracellular fluid present between the cell spaces. The fluid is known as lymph as it enters the lymph capillaries. These capillaires drains into lymph vessels that drains to lymph nodes and lymph ultimately enters the venous circulation.

Lymphatic capillaries are slightly larger than blood vessels and these capillaries have close ends. The walls of lymph capillaries are made up  of endothelial cells. The endothelial cells overlap in lymph vessels and when the pressure in ECF is greater these cells move and create a sort of gap for the movement of ECF inside the lymph capillary but when the pressure inside the capillary is greater these cells again overlap and does not allow the lymph to move outside of capillary. Thus lymph capillaries only allow the ECF to enter the capillary but does not allow the lymph to go out from capillary. Lymph capillaries have greater internal pressure than blood vessels.
