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?

14. Explain why women, and not men, can be carriers for the disease hemophilia. Why do the sons of
miv72 [106K]

Answer: Women are carriers for the disease hemophilia because hemophilia is an X-linked disease. The recessive allele for the disease is found on the X chromosome.

The sons of carrier women get hemophilia because males have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome. The sons of a carrier woman may inherit the affected X chromosome from their mother, and a Y chromosome from their father. They have only one X chromosome and one it's affected, will result in hemophilia.

Explanation: Women are carriers because in most cases, only one of their two X chromosomes are affected. The two female X chromosome is rarely affected.

Daughters of carrier women will not get the disease because they need two affected X chromosomes to manifest the disease. So even if they inherit one affected X chromosome from their mother, the second X chromosome they will inherit from their father will be normal. Therefore, daughters of carrier women can only be carriers.

What are the wavelengths of the mean echolocation clicks of bottlenose dolphins and killer whales? Remember, these echolocation
harkovskaia [24]
Echolocation is also called bio sonar. It is the sonar used by several kinds of animals that <span>enables them to locate and discriminate objects by projecting high-frequency sound waves and listening for echoes as the sound waves reflect off objects. </span>
Dolphins and whales make these sounds at any time and at considerable depths. Sounds vary in volume, wavelength, frequency, and pattern.
The wavelength depends on the speed of propagation (c).wavelength=c/f The speed of sound in water is c= 1450 m/s. 
So, for bottlenose delphins the wavelength is:1450m/s /  110.5 kHz
1450 m/s /  110500 Hz =0.013 m = 0.13 mm
For whales  the waveleng42.5 th is:1450m/s /  42.5 kHz = 
1450m/s /  42500 Hz= 0.034 m = 0.34 mm

3. How are frog eyes different from human eyes?​
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Most frogs see well only at a distance, but they have excellent night vision and are very sensitive to movement.This peripheral vision helps them spot predators and prey. Humans and other mammals focus images by changing the shape of the lens. Like a camera lens, frog eyes focus by moving the lens back and forth.

How can we help maintain healthy bay,estuary, and coastal ecosystem
Otrada [13]

The most obvious way we can establish and maintain a healthy coastal ecosystem is by recycling all recyclable materials and trying to live with as little waste as possible. Also, using clean transportation, such as biking and such, would help slow down air pollution; giving sealife clean air to breathe.
