Answer:
a. Biomagnification
Explanation:
Biomagnification is the name given to the progressive accumulation of substances from one trophic level to another along a food chain. Thus, the substance will have its highest concentration in individuals who occupy trophic levels furthest from producers.
For biomagnification to occur, substances must be fat soluble (lipid soluble) and thus adhere to living tissues. Another feature of substances that undergo biomagnification is that they are generally not biodegradable or metabolized by the body.
The phenomenon is quite common with heavy metals (lead; mercury) and certain chlorinated and aromatic organic compounds with higher molecular mass, such as the insecticide DDT.
Answer:
Explanation:
Food webs describe the relationships — links or connections — among species in an ecosystem, but the relationships vary in their importance to energy flow and dynamics of species populations. Some trophic relationships are more important than others in dictating how energy flows through ecosystems. Some connections are more influential on species population change. Based on different ways in which species influence one another, Robert Paine proposed three types of food webs based on the species of a rocky intertidal zone on the coast of Washington (Ricklefs 2008, Figure 2). Connectedness webs (or topological food webs) emphasize feeding relationships among species, portrayed as links in a food web (Paine 1980). Energy flow webs quantify energy flow from one species to another. Thickness of an arrow reflects the strength of the relationship. Functional webs (or interaction food webs) represent the importance of each species in maintaining the integrity of a community and reflect influence on the growth rate of other species' populations. As shown in Figure 2, limpets Acmaea pelta and A. mitra in the community consume considerable food energy (energy flow web), but removal of these consumers has no detectable influence on the abundance of their resources (functional web). The most effective control was exerted by sea urchin Stronglocentrotus and the chiton Katharina (Ricklefs 2008).
I'm pretty sure it is "c"
Answer:
C) protein possesses a signal for localization within the Golgi apparatus.
Explanation:
Protein targeting or sorting is a process by which synthesized proteins are transported to their appropriate localizations in the cell or outside it. Proteins can be targeted to the inner space of an organelle (such as Golgi apparatus or endoplasmic reticulum) or its membrane, plasma membrane, or to exterior of the cell via secretion.
Usually, protein contains signal sequence on the N terminus that is involved in destination targeting.
Solve the
potential energy at point B
PE = mgh
Where m is
the mass
G is the
acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s2
H is the height
PE = ( 1.5
kg) ( 9.8 m/s2) (0.5 m)
PE = 7.35 J
Solve the
velocity using the
KE = 0.5mv^2
Where ke is
the kinetic energy
M is the
mass
V is the
velocity
Since all
energy is converted to KE
So KE = PE
7.35 = 0.53(1.5)
v^2
V = 3.13 m/s
