In any food chain, the percentage of energy passed from one level to another usually reduced by a factor of 10%.

In the food chain given in the question, we are told that the rabbit ate grass and the hawk ate the rabbit.

The grass carried out photosynthesis and obtained 100% energy from the sun. When the rabbit ate the grass, he obtained 10% of the energy from the grass, thus, the quantity of energy it gained from eating the grass is 10%, that is, 100/10  = 10%.

When the hawk ate the rabbit, it was only able to get 10% of the energy in the rabbit, thus, the quantity of the energy it gained is 1%, that is 10/10 = 1%.

Therefore, 1% of the energy stored by the grass is passed on to the hawk.

active transport and facilitated diffusion are two types of cellular transport which statement is true of both
Dovator [93]

Answer:

I believe the correct answer is both involve proteins in the cell membrane.

Explanation:

This is because Facilitated diffusion does not require any energy to transport molecules, while Active transport requires ATP. Facilitated diffusion transports molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration (or down a concentration gradient). Active transport moves molecules from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration (or up a concentration gradient). Answer choice A is the only choice that makes sense.

The _____________ cells in the _________________ of a nephron can cause and increase or decrease in body pH. A. intercalated; co
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The intercalated cells in the distal convoluted tubule of a nephron can cause and increase or decrease in body pH.

Explanation:

The renal collecting duct is the nephron segment where the final urine content of acid equivalents and inorganic ions are determined.

Two types of cells regulate the acid-base and volume homeostasis.

Intercalated cells, which express acid-base transporters and vacuolar H+-ATPase, maintain an apropriate acid-base balance and principal cells that express the epithelial sodium channel ENaC and aquaporin 2, regulate electrolyte reabsorption.

Filtered bicarbonate is predominantly reabsorbed from the proximal convoluted tubule about 80% and the remaining bicarbonate is reabsorbed from the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle, the distal nephron, specifically the distal convoluted tubule & the connecting tubule, and finally the cortical and both the outer and inner medullary collecting duct.

Intercalated cells are enriched in mitochondria, and express proteins involved in transport of proton equivalents such as vacuolar H+-ATPase, carbonic anhydrase II and bicarbonate transporters. There are two types of intercalated cells Type-A and Type-B.
