Answer:

Hello There!!

Explanation:

The answer is=>Parasite means that the organism must live inside (intracellular) or on the outside body of the organism (extracellular). The herbivores do not live on the host (plants) for its survival. They just eat the plants and fruits for getting energy. Therefore, the herbivores cannot be called as parasite.

hope this helps,have a great day!!

List 3 examples of a selectively permeable material or item. Explain where it is found or used and why a selectively permeable i

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer;
Examples of selectively permeable materials or items are;
1. Vacuum filter- it traps dust but allows air through
2. Coffee filter- allows water to pass through, but does not allow the coffee grounds.
3. Colander -used to strain liquid food from foods. it drains water but is not permeable to larger food particles.

Explanation;
Selective permeability means that a material or a substance allows the passage of some molecules or ions and other materials to pass through it, and inhibits the passage of others.
For example a cell membrane is semi-permeable and thus regulates the transport of materials such that some particles pass through while others can not cross. A semi-permeable membrane allows selective movement of materials, it acts like a filter that allows particles to pass or not according to their size, solubility, electrical charge, or other chemical and physical properties.

The answer of ist question FADH2,NADH 2nd question O2 3rd question NAD+,FAD,H2O,ATP.

Explanation:

Ist answer

During electron transport chain electrons are donated by reduced coenzymes such as NADH and FADH2.

2nd answer

During electron transport chain oxygen or O2 act as terminal electron acceptor which accepts and then undergo reduction to generate H2O.

3rd answer

The final products of electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation are NAD+, FAD,H2O and ATP.

Which best describes the role of a primary consumer in a food web? Carnivore that feeds on producers Herbivore that feeds on pro

Andreyy89

Hello there! :D

First of all, let me put in a picture of a food web for you to reference!

(you should see it below)

Let's talk about how a food web works. Many science books will tell you that a food web is like a pyramid, but this could not be more false! A food web shows the relationship between consumers and producers within any given ecosystem. Sometimes it is not as simple as a line or diagram, because some animals can be both primary, secondary, and teriatry consumers (us!!).

Look at the food web below, and see the grass that eventually is eaten by the grasshopper. We know that the primary source of energy for plants is the sun, which is not included in the web, but just so you know for reference for future questions. What thing in this web supplies the energy for the entire food chain? The producers! This would be the grass and the planktin you see in the web.

What is the difference between primary and secondary consumers?

Glad you asked! Primary means first, and secondary means second. Primary consumers are cosumers that directly eat producers. That would be the grasshopper or the fish! Secondary consumers recieve energy from producers from primary consumers. Examples of these are the mouse and lobster.

So, the best answer to the question above is a Herbivore that feeds on producers, because a primary consumer is a consumer that eats producers directly, and most producers are plants! Answer "B".

I hope this helps you and you have a wonderful day,

Kai xx
