Answer:

Movement of matter passes through the ecosystem in the form of cycle, web, chain etc., between the living and non-living things. The base is the energy derived from sun. They involve all living organisms, air, water, soil etc. Matter never gets wasted instead utilized.

Matter is recycled in the ecosystem but energy is not. Energy is transferred from one organism to another approximately by 10% where balance of 90% is lost in the form of energy. The higher the levels in the food chain more exhaustion of energy due to work.

Identify the eukaryotic cellular locations of the fundamental processes that are involved in the central dogma of molecular biol

Papessa [141]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The central dogma gives a description of how genetic information travels in biological cells from DNAs to proteins. DNAs are first transcribed into messenger RNAs in a process known as transcription and the resulting mRNAs are used in the synthesis of proteins in a process known as translation.

In eukaryotic cells, transcription process happens within the confines of the nucleus because the genetic material in the form of DNAs are always located in the nucleus. Thereafter, the mRNAs generated from transcription are transported to the cytoplasm of the cell where they become translated into proteins.

Hence;

Transcription happens in the nucleus of the cell.

Translation happens in the cytoplasm of the cell.

Define brain death, agonal phase, clinical death and mortality.

OleMash [197]

Brain death: is the legal definition of death. It is the complete and irreversible stop of all brain functions. This means that as a result of severe aggression or severe brain injury, the blood that comes from the body and supplies the brain is blocked and the brain dies.
Agonal phase: occurs with the realization of the preceding events when life is about to break free of the protoplasm, because the protoplasm cannot sustain it for long.
Clinical death: is defined by the cessation of electrical activity in the brain, resulting in irreversible and total loss of neurological activity in the brain and brainstem. When doctors officially declare a person's clinical death, it means there is no cure or return to recovery.
Mortality: It is the condition of being mortal, therefore, of being susceptible to death. However, the term mortality is in most cases related to the statistical studies applied on populations. So mortality appears as a number that seeks to establish the number of deaths over a given population.
