<span>A: food chain

</span><span>In many functions of a living organism, it cannot make its own energy. It uses energy from its environment, retrieves and converts into a usable and edible matter. Organisms that can do this process is the autotrophs, they can facilitate photosynthesis which they gather energy from the sun, water and carbon dioxide in order to create energy by then, the transfer of this energy to other organism is played by the food chain –food web. </span>

The question here is one after a lesson discussing the laws of thermodynamics. Within this lesson, you may find the fallowing passage: "According to the first law, an organism can absorb energy from its environment, or it can give up some of its energy to its surroundings. However, the total energy of the organism and its surroundings is always the same. The organism can't create the energy it needs to live. Instead, it must capture it from the environment. Once it captures energy, the organism can use the energy for its own biological work."

Answer: First Law of Thermodynamics

what is it called when in an ecosystem some plants may convert atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia through a process
kompoz [17]

These organisms convert nitrogen in the soil to ammonia, which can then be taken up by plants. This process also occurs in aquatic ecosystems, where cyanobacteria participate. After nitrogen has been fixed, other bacteria convert it into nitrate, in a process known as nitrification.

Rb is an important protein for controlling cell proliferation by blocking entry into S phase. How does it exert its effect?
amid [387]

Answer:

The main function of the RB protein is to inhibit the transition from the G1 to S phase. Its activity depends on its phosphorylation state: if RB is not phosphorylated (active state), it is bound to the transcription factor E2F, preventing its translocation to the nucleus and the activation of genes necessary for DNA synthesis; and if it is phosphorylated, by cyclin-CDK complexes, E2F is released and cell proliferation occurs.

Explanation:

Retinoblastoma (Rb) was the first tumor suppressor described and, as we know today, mutations in its structure determine a large number of cancers. Structurally, we speak of a large and multifunctional protein; which is organized in different domains. The activity of this protein is regulated, mainly, by phosphorylation at multiple sites described over the years and is involved in control mechanisms of the cell cycle, apoptosis and senescence.

A fossil mold that reflects the shape and surface markings of an organism is created when _____.
Lady bird [3.3K]

Correct answer: D). The organism is buried in sediment and then dissolved by underground water

Mold is a copy of an organism, it is formed like the first layer of sediments harden and forms a mold. Then after that new layer of sediment fills and become hardens.

The fossil is left behind in sediment, which removes the remains of an organism from its surrounding material. The groundwater along with its mineral content dissolves the organic matter to form the fossil.
