What best explains why there's fewer secondary consumers than producers?

Biology
1 answer:
monitta3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

because of inefficiency

Explanation:

The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers. ... Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is lots of food for herbivores lower down on the food chain. There are fewer consumers than producers.

Which of the following is not an anthropoid?<br><br> Lemurs<br> Monkeys<br> Apes<br> Humans
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is A. Lemurs

Explanation:

In biology, a primate is a taxonomic order of mammals that originated around 85 million years ago as animals that lived in trees and derived into multiple species including lemurs, humans, apes, monkeys, gorillas, etc. Additionally, primates as a taxonomic order divide into two suborders prosimians and anthropoids. The first group of primates is mostly nocturnal, small and also they have a smaller brain, this includes primates such as lemurs and tarsiers. On the other hand, anthropoids have a bigger brain and size and also have more advanced cognitive abilities this includes gorillas, monkeys, apes, and even humans. Considering this, the on that is not an anthropoid but prosimians are the Lemurs.

Reactions in which smaller molecules are combined to make a larger molecule are known as anabolic reactions. True/ False?
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

Metabolism is the sum of all of the chemical reactions that are involved in catabolism and anabolism.

Catabolic reactions break down large organic molecules into smaller molecules, releasing the energy contained in the chemical bonds.

Anabolic Reactions

In contrast to catabolic reactions, anabolic reactions involve the joining of smaller molecules into larger ones. Anabolic reactions combine monosaccharides to form polysaccharides, fatty acids to form triglycerides, amino acids to form proteins, and nucleotides to form nucleic acids. These processes require energy in the form of ATP molecules generated by catabolic reactions. Anabolic reactions, also called biosynthesis reactions, create new molecules that form new cells and tissues, and revitalize organs.

Which statement is true about the cells in multicell organisms?
scoray [572]

Answer:

d They usually have certain special functions

Explanation:

a) They can all turn into the same kind of cell needed - this is false. Cells in a multi cell organism such as humans cannot turn to any type of cell, this functionality is called pluripotency, and only exists in specialised cells called stem cells. These cells are present early in development, and in some tissues where cells are replaced frequently, like the cells of the gut.

b) They are all identical  - this is false. Although they all carry the same genetic information, the cells in a multicell organism are usually very different, carrying out different functions. E.g. the cells of the skin are very different from the cells of the blood.

c) They are prokaryotic cells  - this is false. All prokaryotic cells are single celled organisms, only eukaryotic cells can form part of multi cell organisms

d) They usually have certain special functions - this is true. Cells in a multicell organism usually perform different functions in order to contribute to the entire organism. For example, the function of the cells in the heart is very different from the function of the cells in the brain.
