Why is only a small amount of energy stored in foods available to the next organism in a food chain?

Biology
1 answer:
MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
6 0
This is because energy is lost at each trophic level leaving the last/tertiary consumer with the lowest amount of energy. Energy is lost by respiration, assimilation and excretion. It is important for animals to respire so they also lose most of their energy gained. energy is consumed as 10 percent and lost as 90 percent along the food chain. Only decomposers can use most of the rest of energy as they are the last in trophic level.

Using the ultrasonication and agitation method of liposome preparation, what concentration of lipid is necessary to prepare lipo
Galina-37 [17]

The concentration of lipids necessary to prepare liposomes with a diameter of 250 nm is 0.30 mM.

<h3>What are liposomes?</h3>

Liposomes are vesicles which are made up of a lipid bilayer membrane.

Liposomes are important as delivery vehicles for substances such as drugs.

Ultrasonication is a method of liposomes preparation.

Solution of liposomes is dependent on the size.

The larger the diameter, the smaller the l elution volume. Also, increasing lipid concentration will decreases elution volume.

Therefore, the concentration of lipids necessary to prepare liposomes with a diameter of 250 nm is 0.30 mM.
