Answer:

The correct answer is c converts a tertiary alcohol which cannot easily be oxidized to a secondary alcohol that can be oxidized.

Explanation:

Both citrate and isocitrate are isomers of each other and also very important metabolic intermediates of TCA cycle.

  Citrate is a tertiary alcohol that"s why it cannot be metabolized as it"s functional group is surrounded by many bulky groups.

 To overcome this problem citrate is converted to isocitrate which is a secondary alcohol that can easily be metabolized to generate alpha ketoglurate an important intermediate of TCA cycle.

What is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of this ecosystem? a nutrients from the soil b food sources c heat
Masja [62]

Answer:

C) heat

Explanation:

An ecosystem comprised of biotic and abiotic factors interacting together, in a specified environment.

trophic levels of this ecosystem is the food chain or the level an organism is in the feeding level, this range from producer to tertiary consumer.

If we follow the pyramid of tropic level known as " Energy level" Heat is lost to the environment at each of the trophic levels of the ecosystem. The producer which has large area of the pyramid has a large energy, and as the primary consumer(second tropical level) which are herbivores feed on the producer(first tropical level)grass , it only takes just like 10% energy from the producer and the secondary consumer ( third tropical level) herbivores feed on primary consumer, and only get away with 10% of the energy and as the trend goes up the "Energy keep decreasing inform of heat" like that.
