1 answer:

8 0

<span>If the fat in adipose cells is broken down into fatty acids, the pathway involved in this process is called the catabolic pathway. Unlike anabolic pathways, which use a lot of energy to synthesize molecules, catabolic pathways are there to break down molecules into smaller units in order to release energy. </span>

What are the frogs in the conservation center fed?

Tanya [424]

Presumably whatever their nutrition and health requires, for instance, if a tree frog requires fruit flies to maintain a healthy and balanced diet, then the conservation center probably feeds their tree frogs fruit flies.

1) A plant gets 628.3 kcal of energy from the sun, what energy is left at the quartenary consumer level?

Jobisdone [24]

1. The energy left in the Quaternary consumer level is 0.06283 kcal.

2. 0.65 units of energy is still available at the tertiary consumer level.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Energy flow in an ecosystem obeys the ten percentage law According to which ten percentage of energy from a trophic level gets transferred to the next trophic level. In the given question plants belong to the trophic level , producers and it transfers 10 percentage of its energy to the primary consumer level.

In the question 1 the energy that the producers have is 628.3 kcal. Ten percentage of this i.e 62.83 kcal gets transferred to the primary consumer level. Ten percent of that which is 6.283 kcal gets transferred to the secondary consumer level. Ten percent of 6.283 kcal i.e 0.6283 kcal energy is transferred to the tertiary consumer level.

Thus the Quaternary consumer level gets ten percentage of 0.6283 kcal i.e 0.06283 kcal. In question B the initial energy at the primary level is 650 units. Ten percentage of 650 i.e 65 units reach the primary consumer level. Ten percentage of this 65 units then reaches the secondary consumer level. Thus the secondary consumer level has ten percent of 65 i.e 6.5 units of energy.

So the energy that reaches the tertiary consumer level is ten percentage of 6.5 i.e 0.65 units.

Which ligaments prevents the tibia from sliding forward in the knee joint?

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer: Anterior cruciate ligament

Explanation:The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) connects the front of the tibia to the back of the femur. It keeps the tibia from sliding forward and limits its rotation. The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) keeps the tibia from sliding backward. The patella ligament helps secure the patella over the front of the knee joint.

This is the period of cell life during interphase between the synthesis of new genetic material and the beginning of mitosis.

RoseWind [281]

The period you’ve described would be the G2 phase which is considered a “checkpoint” that determines whether or not a cell can enter the mitosis phase
