How many kilograms of diatoms are required for a Baleen Whale to gain 7.5 kilograms?

Biology
1 answer:
Korvikt [17]4 years ago
5 0

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

A simple aquatic food chain with the top predator as Baleen whale could look like:

Diatoms ⇒ Krill ⇒ Baleen whale

Only 10% of energy at one level is passed on to the next level. Hence, only 10% of biomass at one level is converted to biomass in the next level.

If a Baleen whale wants to gain 7.5 kgs at third trophic level, it means there should be 75 kg of Krill present in second trophic level. Similarly, there should be 750 kg of diatoms present in the first trophic level. Hence, 750 kgs of diatoms are required for a Baleen whale to gain 7.5 kgs.

Match the cell organelle to the organ or organ system in your body that does the same job.

<span>Nervous System - Nucleus - control (responding to certain neurotransmitters by allowing transcription factors to be formed) Respiratory System - Plasma Membrane (alveoli allow certain particles into the cells but want to keep contaminants out) Reproductive System - Nucleus - DNA (determines in part the genome and developmental process of the offspring) Digestive System - Mitochondria (want full redox reaction to occur in the organelle based on nutrients extracted from food) Integumentary System - Cytoskeleton (for support as well as in the construction of the basal lamina) Musculoskeletal System - Endomembrane System (think about the sarcoplasmic reticulum and the effect of increased surface area when calcium is released) Circulatory System - Passive Transport (through capillaries especially)</span>

Explain why mitosis does not produce genetic variation and how meiosis leads to the production of tremendous genetic variation.
VladimirAG [237]
Mitosis produces cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
Meiosis includes two distinct processes that contribute to the generation of
genetic variation: crossing over shuffles alleles on the same chromosome
into new combinations, whereas the random distribution of maternal and
paternal chromosomes shuffles alleles on different chromosomes into new
<span>combinations.</span>

Answer 1:
                Brushtail possum is an arboreal and nocturnal organism, occupying a wide range of habitat in Australia living in tree, wood land, forest, sleeping day time while active at night.

Answer 2:
                This transport was intentional to establish a fur trade. Therefore, this organism was transported from Australia to New Zealand in 1837. Answer 3: This organisn acted as a invasive species. The habitat was suitable for reproduction due to optimum environmental condition. Answer 4: Brushtail possum feed on a variety of resources like they eat leaves, fruits, nuts, insects etc thus disturb the food chain. Even food litters and small creatures whatever they found were eaten. So it pose a serious threat to ecosystem. dairy and derr farmers noticed that introduction of possum cause bovine tuberculosis in live stock. Their numbers were increased and natural predators of possum were unable to control their population size. Answer 5: Possum play dead game. when they see a large animals like human get paralysed for few minutes to an hour.They also have sharp teeth but no evidence was recorded for hurting humans. Answer 6: In order to control population of possum one should aply the procedure of strility or intoduce predators into ecosystem to balance the population of possum.
