What is the direction of energy flow in an energy pyramid? How much energy is transfered from one step to another?

Biology
1 answer:
Westkost [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

- The flow of energy is from the lowest level (i.e., the base of the pyramid)  to highest levels

- Approximately 10 percent

Explanation:

The energy pyramid is a diagram that shows the flow of energy between trophic levels in an ecosystem. Each trophic level is characterized by organisms that play specific roles in an ecosystem, for example, photosynthetic organisms (producers) at the base of the pyramid which represent the source of energy for herbivores localized at a higher level. The amount of energy decreases as it moves to higher trophic levels, approximately 10 percent of the energy is transferred from a trophic level to the next level and the remaining energy is lost as heat.

In the light dependent reactions light energy is absorbed by the photosytem II and an electron is released. This electron causes a process called photolysis to occur(H20-->2H++2e-+1/2O2). This is how O2 is released in the atmosphere. The electrons resulted from photolyisis enter the electron transport chain. In the electron transport chain using the energy in the elecrtons, hydrogen protons are pumped inside the thylakoid. Those protons accumulate to form an electrochemical gradient. That means the protons need to flow out, and they do through an enzyme called ATP-synthase which turns ADP and inorganic phosphate into ATP and water. In the electron transport chain, the electrons reach Photosystem I where NADP+ is reduced and becomes NADPH.

ATP and NADPH store the energy absorbed in the light dependent reactions. Those two molecules are needed when CO2 is fixated in Calvin's cycle to synthesize glucose.

Explanation:

The soft lining inside the mouth is an example of cell.

The inner lining of mouth is made up of  the mucous membrane. Soft lining is consist of squamous epithelium also called as oral epithelium, which is a type of cell.

Epithilial cells are arranged in layers upon a basal membrane. It function to protect mouth against abrasion.

masya89 [10]

Answer:

3.initiate repair of damaged tissues.

Explanation:

Inflammation is a process or response that occurs when the immune cells produce substances in order to protect the body from injuries infection by foreign microbes like viruses and bacteria. The main functions of inflammation or inflammatory response are to remove the cause of injuries in cell, get rid of damaged tissues and necrotic cells that might have been damaged during injury and initiate the repair of damaged tissues.

During inflammatory response certain symptoms like redness, heat/warmth, swelling and pain are most likely to be experienced.
