In scientific notation, the value of the speed of light in a vacuum
will be written as 2.995 * 10^8. When this value is represented in the form of
a * 10^b, then, a = 2.995 and b = 8.
The value of the speed of light in a vacuum given above can also be rounded up to approximately 300000000. In this case, the scientific notation will be written as 3 *10^8.
B. The first generation of pea plants were mostly tall.
Answer:
B. A small fraction of the energy is transferred to higher trophic levels, majority stays in the lower trophic levels
Explanation:
Energy transfer between trophic levels is insufficient. When an organism is eaten by another organism, not all of the biomass of prey forms the biomass of the predator. Majority of the energy is released into environment during cellular respiration. Some of the matter also remains undigested and is not used by the predator. Thus, only 10% of energy available at one level is transferred to the next level. So when we keep on moving up in a food chain, energy available keeps on decreasing.
Answer:
Gene. A segment of a DNA molecule (a sequence of bases) that codes for a particular protein and determines the traits (phenotype) of the individual. A gene is the basic unit of heredity in a living organism.
