A given ecosystem has the following amounts of energy available at each trophic level: Primary producers: 4,000 gC/m2/day; Prima

ry consumers: 480 gC/m2/day; Secondary consumers: 72 gC/m2/day; Tertiary consumers: 24 gC/m2/day.
Does this ecosystem follow Lindeman's Law for ecological efficiency?
a. Yes, the average efficiency is 20%
b. Yes, the average efficiency is 10%

Answer:

b. Yes, the average efficiency is 10%

Explanation:

The average efficiency at each trophic level is 10% because there is about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to another. In some trophic levels the efficiency of organisms is 20% but in most of the trophic level has 10% efficiency so that's why the average efficiency is 10%. Yes, this ecosystem  obeys the Lindeman's Law for ecological efficiency due to its 10% of ecological efficiency.

Answer:

Explanation:

Cellular respiration is a process which occurs in the all living cell all the time. It is an oxidative process by which respiratory substrate such as glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) is oxidised completely in presence of oxygen(O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂), water and energy in the from of ATP. ATP is is the energy currency of the cell. The process of cellular respiration begins in cytoplasm and completes in the mitochondria of the cell.  

The overall reaction of respiration is given below:  

         C₆H₁₂O₆+ 6O₂ → 6CO₂+ 6H₂O + Energy (ATP)

A)<br> Suggest why mitochondrial diseases in humans can<br> cause symptoms such as muscle weakness.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

How it can cause muscle weakness

Explanation:

Mitochondrial myopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by damage to the mitochondria—small, energy-producing structures that serve as the cells' "power plants." Nerve cells in the brain and muscles require a great deal of energy and thus appear to be particularly damaged when mitochondrial dysfunction

lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

Cohesion

Explanation:

The negative and positive sides of water molecules are attracted to each other and cause water to be attracted together and stick together.

This is called cohesion, when molecules of the same type stick together.

Describe how oxygen and carbon dioxide are cycled using the cardiovascular and respiratory system
yuradex [85]

Answer:

respiratory system fills the blood with oxygen and gets rid of the carbon dioxide while the cardiovascular system umps the oxygen rich blood all over the body (short answer)

Explanation:

the respiratory system aids in the supply of oxygen to the blood and the exit of carbon dioxide. when the heart takes in blood that is short of oxygen and full of carbon dioxide, the pulmonary arteries pumps the blood to the lungs, who then fill the low oxygen blood with oxygen and transport the carbon dioxide out of the lungs. this oxygen rich blood, which now has a rich amount of hemoglobin, is transported to the heart which is pumped or circulated it to the entire body. (long answer)

What is the purpose of a gene
wel

Answer:

Genes are a set of instructions that determine what the organism is like, its appearance, how it survives, and how it behaves in its environment. Genes are made of a substance called deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. They give instructions for a living being to make molecules called proteins.

Explanation:

Genes tell your body how to make all its proteins. Each new cell in the growing embryo receives a full set of genes. But not every cell needs to make every protein and cells make some proteins only at certain times. Some genes are instructions for proteins that regulate the activity of other genes.
