Bacteria are classified into 5 groups according to their basic shapes: spherical (cocci), rod (bacilli), spiral (spirilla), comma (vibrios) or corkscrew (spirochaetes). They can exist as single cells, in pairs, chains or clusters.
Cellular respiration is the process that take place in the mitochondrion of a cell, it involves use of glucose from photosynthesis to produce energy in form of ATP and formation of CO2 and water. In this case, the Carbon dioxide formed passively diffuses out of the cell and Oxygen is pumped in and forces CO2 out. In this process oxygen acts as a electron acceptor.
Answer:
Yes, mixtures can be separated using a variety of techniques.
When energy passes from one trophic level to the next, I would guess that the two factors which decrease the total amount of energy from being passed up are:
1. An organism does not assimilate all the energy of food consumed. Within a consumer, digestion and assimilation of energy is not 100% efficient: some of the energy is lost.
2. A large proportion of energy assimilated by a producer and consumer is lost through respiration, i.e., day-to-day maintenance of metabolic processes.
