Answer:

Herbivore that feeds on producers

Explanation:

The producers are plants at the bottom of the food web. These are eaten by herbivores, that are the primary consumers.

Herbivores themselves are consumed by carnivores, which are secondary consumers.

Sometimes, these carnivores can be consumed by top predators, like a shark, snake or eagle.

<u>Options and why they are right/wrong</u>

Carnivore that feeds on producers  - carnivores do not feed on producers

Herbivore that feeds on producers  - this is correct

Herbivore that feeds on primary consumers  - primary consumers are animals and herbivores do not eat animals

Carnivore that feeds on primary consumers - this would be a secondary consumer

Atoms can have different numbers of which of the following electrons, protons neutrons or all of the above
OLEGan [10]
Atoms may have different numbers of neutrons. Atoms are the smallest fraction of an element that can exist, and still show the properties of the element. They consists of electrons (negatively charged), protons (positively charged), and neutrons (no charge). The number of electrons is equivalent to the number of protons normally however an atom may loose or pick up electrons and  have a positive charge or negative charge. The number of neutrons in the nucleus may vary within a given element to give varieties of atoms we call isotopes.

In eukaryotic gene regulation, RNA interference occurs through:
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

B. the action of microRNAs that block translation of specific mRNA molecule

C. the action of RNA–protein complexes that degrade the regulatory proteins responsible for initiating transcription.

Explanation:

RNA interference occurs what RNA prevent the translation of some gene this is done by neutralizing target mRNA molecule. It suppresses the effects of some desires genes through its action.

MicroRNA and small interfering RNA (miRNA and siRNA) are the major RNA that controls interference. siRNA and miRNA prevent translation by directing some enzmes complexes to denature the mRNA molecule needed for translation. They intiate post transcriptional splicing.

RNA interference is found in eukaryote and some animals and its initiated by enzyme Dicer that inhibits translation by degrading the enzymes action.

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.
