Why is the energy lower in each trophic level

Biology
1 answer:
Akimi4 [234]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Only small proportion of energy in the biomass of organisms in one trophic level will ever become part of the biomass of organisms in the next trophic level.

Explanation:

Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level.

How to clone a gene?
Flauer [41]

Answer:

Cut open the plasmid and "paste" in the gene. This process relies on restriction enzymes (which cut DNA) and DNA ligase (which joins DNA).

Insert the plasmid into bacteria. Use antibiotic selection to identify the bacteria that took up the plasmid.

Grow up lots of plasmid-carrying bacteria and use them as "factories" to make the protein. Harvest the protein from the bacteria and purify it.

Of the following lists of electron transport compounds, which one lists them in order from the one containing electrons with the
notsponge [240]

Answer:

B) FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2

Explanation:

FADH2 and NADH give their high energy electrons to the terminal electron acceptor molecular oxygen via an electron transport chain. As the electrons move through electron carriers of the electron transport chain, they lose their free energy. Part of the free energy of the electrons is used to pump the protons from the matrix into the intermembrane space. Therefore, part of the energy of electrons is temporarily stored in the form of a proton concentration gradient.

NADH gives its electrons to FMN of complex I while FADH2 gives its electrons to the Fe-S center of complex II. Both the complexes are oxidized by coenzyme (Q) which in turn reduces Fe-S centers of complex III. Cyt c of complex IV obtains electrons from complex III and passes them to CuA center, to heme "a" to heme "a3-CuB center" and finally to the molecular oxygen.

So, the compounds arranged with respect to the energy content of electrons in descending order are as follows: FADH2 -- FMN of Complex I -- Fe-S of Complex II -- Q -- Fe-S of Complex III -- Cyt c -- Cyt a of Complex IV -- O2.

How does wet and dry barometer work?? Thnx
tatiyna

Wet barometer - The tool works by measuring atmospheric pressure to predict incoming weather. Since the glass is only filled halfway with water, the other half is exposed to the atmosphere. When the outdoor atmospheric pressure rises, the pressure in the glass decreases, and causes the water to move down the spout.

Dry barometer - A Torricellian barometer (sometimes called a mercury barometer) is an inverted (upside-down) glass tube standing in a bath of mercury. Air pressure pushes down on the surface of the mercury, making some rise up the tube. The greater the air pressure, the higher the mercury rises.

I hope this helps!
