Base on one of the Law of Thermodynamics, the amount of available energy decreases whenever energy is changed in form (which includes a transfer from one trophic level to another). So, as we go from the first trophic level to the top trophic level, the amount of available energy becomes less and less.

For each region of the lac operon on the F' plasmid, I+ P+ Oc Z− Y+ , determine whether the region is wild type (that is, it pro
UNO [17]

Answer:

A,B and E

Explanation:

  • I+: I refers to the lac repressor, the + indicates that the repressor is functional
  • P+:  P refers to the promoter region and the + indicates that the promoter is functional
  • Oc:  O refers to the operator region, but the Oc indicates that the operator is constitutive ie. that it is always on/ can't be turned off.
  • Z-: Z refers to the LacZ gene which produces β-galactosidase. Z- indicates that this gene is non-functional
  • Y+:  Y refers to the LacY gene which produces the permease protein. Y+ indicates that this gene is functional

So based on the breakdown above:

  • A is true because P+.
  • B is true because I+.
  • C is not true because the lac operon is an inducible system. The operator needs to be able to be repressed. In this case the operator is constitutive (always on)  which is not the correct form.
  • D is not true because Z-, no β-galactosidase is produced.
  • E is true because Y+.

Only A, B and E apply.

Rank the following ecosystems in order of their net primary productivity, from lowest to highest:________. a) open ocean. b) tro
katrin [286]

desert, open ocean, lake, tropical rain forest

Explanation:

The net primary productivity tells us about how productive an ecosystem is. It is usually derived by the difference between the amount of carbon dioxide that producers used to the amount they release during their cellular respiration.

  • The rainforest is the biome with the highest amount of net productivity.
  • The amount of sunlight and organic matter used up during photosynthesis is very large.
  • The tropical rain forest receives the highest amount of sunlight because the sun is overhead here.
  • This provides energy to drive photosynthetic process in the presence of other available resources.
  • Deserts are bare and lacks plants due to the extreme conditions here not favorable to life.
  • The open ocean productivity is restricted to the photic zone where light is only able to reach
  • Lakes are highly productive ecosystems.

How does finny relate gene's failure to take another roommate?
joja [24]

In addition to separate peace the significance of finny’s shame at even thinking gene would take added roommate is that gene could swap him. Gene denotes to the correctness of being thrown into the naguamsett river on the first day of the winter session since it was his entrance into a new time in his life which is a step to self-confidence.
