Biology

Ann [662]4 years ago

Answer:

The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms plus the amount lost as heat.  

Explanation:

An ecosystem is a basically a community in which several living organisms live together in a certain area and share food and other living resources.

When we talk about prime source of energy for any ecosystem it is considered to be the, Sun. Sun is the source of energy for all living organisms and the energy of sunlight is primarily used by green plants to prepare food through the process of photosynthesis. In this process sunlight is fixed into energy compounds like ATP. And once the green plants are eaten by other higher animals like goat, some of the energy is wasted as heat and other is transferred into the body of next organism. Then when the goat is eaten by higher animal like lion, some of the energy is wasted as heat and other is transferred into the body of next organism. This process goes on.

In this way, the energy from sun is transferred from herbivores like goat to carnivores like lion etc. Some energy is used by the higher organisms while the other is lost as heat during energy transfer process.

Therefore, mentioned option,<em> "The amount of energy entering an ecosystem from the Sun is equal to the amount used by organisms plus the amount lost as heat" </em>is correct option.

kow [346]

Answer:

Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can't push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

"In epithelial tissues, what serves to anchor the epithelial tissue to underlying connective tissue?"

Answer:

Basement membrane

Explanation:

Epithelial tissues is one of the four types of tissues. They are widespread throughout the body and form the covering of all body surfaces, line body cavities and hollow organs, and are the major tissue in glands .

They perform a lot of functions such as absorption, excretion, filtration, diffusion, and sensory reception.

They are anchored to the underlying connective tissue by basement membrane. A thin, fibrous, extracellular matrix of tissue.

The basement membrane acts as a mechanical barrier that prevents malignant cells from invading the deeper tissues.

Volgvan

Answer:

The most commercially important genus of lactic acid-fermenting bacteria is Lactobacillus, though other bacteria and even yeast are sometimes used. Two of the most common applications of lactic acid fermentation are in the production of yogurt and sauerkraut.

Lactic acid fermentation happens in our muscle cells when we are exercising feverishly, while alcoholic fermentation is used in yeast cells and is what leads to beer, bread, and wine.
