How much energy moves up from one trophic level to the next in the energy pyramid​

Biology
1 answer:
Luda [366]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: Only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. Most of the rest of the energy is lost through heat (energy expended, metabolic process, respiration) as it transfers along each level. The reason for this energy loss is found in the second law of thermodynamics which states: that as energy is transferred energy is lost.

Olenka [21]

Answer:

She could time how long it takes for each amount of salt dissolves in the waters. (as well as keep each amount of salt the same if she was not doing that already.)

Explanation:

This way, she could observe which water is best for dissolving solvents and which is most affective in the shortest amount of time. If she was not timing how long it takes for salt to dissolve in different temperatures of water, then the experiment may as well have been useless unless there is somehow a different objective.

Please explain the difference between a frameshift mutation and a base substitution mutation.
harina [27]

Answer:

A frameshift changes every codon past it. A base substitution only changes one codon.

Explanation:

DNA is comprised of nucleotides (A, C, T, G) that make up amino acids. Every three bases is called a codon and represents an amino acid.

In a frameshift mutation, a nucleotide is either added or deleted from the sequence. This offsets the entire sequence after it because the reading frame shifts. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

If another T is added in between the first and second codons, then every codon after will be changed.

ACT>T<GCTATCGTCATC

A substitution mutation is usually less severe, as it only alters one codon in the sequence. These occur when one nucleotide is replaced by another one. Here's an example:

ACTGCTATCGTCATC

Let's say the first G is replaced by a T.

ACT>T<CTATCGTCATC

As you can see, none of the other codons changed.

Typically, a frameshift mutation is considered worse than a substitution mutation.
