During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

The presence of what group differentiates most amino acids from each other?

Karolina [17]

Amino acids are the basic structural unit of all proteins. A 'free' amino acid (a single amino acid) always has:
an amino group -NH2,
a carboxyl group -COOH
a hydrogen -H
a chemical group or side chain -"R".
Since the amino acids (except glycine) have 4 different groups attached to the a-carbon, they are optically active stereoisomers (recall 23.101 Organic Chemistry) although only L-isomers are found in proteins.
At a neutral pH, both the amino and the carboxyl groups are ionised, giving what is termed the zwitterionic

The options are;

A. Chipmunks and insects can occupy the same niche.

B. As the number of bears in this community increases, the number of chipmunks will increase.

C. Insects are classified as omnivores in alpine meadow communities.

D. Biomass decreases as energy is transferred from one level to another

The answer is D. Biomass decreases as energy is transferred from one level to another

The energy pyramid being referred to is in the attachment below.

Biomass is an organic renewable source of energy derived from plants and animals. As animals at the lower trophic levels are consumed by animals at the higher trophic levels there is transfer of energy, however it is not all the energy that are transferred equally. As a result, at each trophic level there is decreased energy and biomass that is transferred from one level to the other.
