5 0

<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
  • According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
  • For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
  • The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

1. Explain what is the "Sea Floor Spread" with examples.
larisa86 [58]

Answer:Sea Floor Spread is where the oceanic crust splits to form new crust on the earth forming ridges.  

Continental slide is when tectonic plates slide past one another formed at the fault line causing earthquakes.

Transform boundaries can be explained by showing what happens after they slide almost like how after an earthquake the houses are destroyed and some have sunk into the grounds fault line.

Continental Crust is the crust of the earth that us humans and animals live on formed by divergent boundaries in the crust.

Glycogen synthase is an enzyme important for making glycogen. In response to glucagon, glycogen synthase is Glycogen synthase is
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

3.inactivated by phosphorylation.

Explanation:

Glycogen synthase is an enzyme, glycosyltransferase  that is involved in the conversion of glucose into glycogen. There are two ways of the regulation of glycogen synthase:

  • allosteric regulation- via glucose-6-phosphate, which is activator of the enzyme
  • by phosphorilation-it deactivates the enzyme and it is triggered by glucagon from the pancreas.

The regulation of glycogen synthase is very important for  glycogen metabolism and glucose storage.

SpyIntel [72]
This would be called a D. Sinkhole. Sinkholes occur because groundwater washes and deteriorates at limestone under the surface. This leads to underground gaps. Once the pressure becomes high enough, the sinkhole collapse from gravity leaving a dent similar to potholes in the road.
