Answer:

1. 20 units

2. 4 units

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism occupying a trophic level to another as they feed on one another. The amount of energy that is being transferred as the chain progresses is called ECOLOGICAL EFFICIENCY. According to this question, the ecological efficiency at each trophic level of the ecosystem is 20%. This means that about 20% of energy units will be transferred to the next trophic level.

If the green plants of the ecosystem capture 100 units of energy, the amount of energy that will be available to support herbivores (plant eaters) is: 20% × 100units i.e. 20/100 × 100 = 20 units.

Also, the amount of energy that will be available to support carnivores subsequently will be 20% of 20 units i.e. 20/100 × 20 = 4 units.

aalyn [17]

<em>A megaphone used by a cheerleader can allow people on the opposite side of a field to hear her better because;</em>

D. Solid objects can change the direction of sound waves; megaphones allow users to determine the general direction of the sound.

<u>Determination of the general direction of the sound lessens its dispersion and  thus, it reaches the observers at a higher intensity, hence it being louder.</u>

Crossing over occurs in meiosis during ________ 1 when ________ (paired chromosomes consisting of four chromatids) form and stic
Aneli [31]

Answer:

1. Meiosis I

2. Tetrad

3. Tetrad

Explanation:

Crossing over refers to an event taking place in the cells undergoing meiosis cell division during which the exchange of material takes place. The process of crossing over takes place during pachytene of prophase I in meiosis I.

Crossing over takes place when the structure formed by the pairing of the four chromatids of the chromosomes called tetrad is formed. The formation of tetrad allows the exchange of genetic sequences, therefore, result in recombination.

The process of crossing over does not take place in the mitosis as the tetrad is not formed in the mitosis.

Thus, Meiosis I, Tetrad and tetrad are correct.

The external urethral sphincter surrounds the external urethral orifice. is composed of smooth muscle fibers. opens before the i
Helen [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is: is controlled by the somatic nervous system.

Explanation:

The urethra is an organ that is part of the urinary system, and consists of a tube that connects the urinary bladder to the urinary meatus, which is important for the excretion of urine. The urethra has two sphincters, which are muscles with the function to control the exit of the urine: <u>the internal urethral sphincter and the external urethral sphincter</u>.

The external urethral sphincter, unlike the internal one that is composed of smooth muscle, is made of skeletal muscle and is controlled by the somatic nervous system - this is what makes urination voluntary. Being the most external sphincter, it opens after the internal urethral sphincter during the micturition reflex.

Any damage in either sphincter can produce incontinence.
