Answer:

The probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547  

Explanation:

We have given that 7 of 48 units of blood is contaminated with virus causing hepatitis.

So probability of getting hepatitis virus is =\frac{7}{48}=0.1458

So probability of not getting hepatitis virus = 1 - 0.1458 = 0.8542

It is given that severely injured accident victim given 5 units of plasma

So probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus = 0.8542^5=0.4547

So the probability that the victim not getting hepatitis virus is 0.4547

if a bunny eats grass that has 100 units of energy and the bunny get 10% how much is passed on to the next animal .​
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

This is an excellent source!

Example- The producer receives its energy from the sun, which is the ultimate source of energy. Meaning all the energy we use comes from the sun. Like I said earlier, the energy from the corn moves into the mouse. Not all the energy that the corn has is able to be transferred into the mouse, only about 10% of the available energy is transferred to each trophic level. A trophic level is the position an animal occupies in a food chain. And again only about 10% of energy is transferred from the mouse to the owl.

10%

Which type of molecule acts as a signaling molecule in yeasts?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option - mating factor.

Explanation:

Yeast can reproduce sexually by a signaling pathway called the mating factor pathway. Mating in yeast occurs between two haploid yeast cells. In this process, two yeast cells form a diploid cell.

In this process yeast cells secrete a signaling molecule termed as the mating factor that is used to attract them to mating cells to form a diploid cell.

Thus, the correct answer is option - mating factor.
