Biology

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.

The bilayer is structured in such a way that it complements the extracellular fluid around the cell as well as the cytoplasm within the cell. This is because the extracellular fluid is hydrophillic, the outside of the membrane protein is hydrophillic, the middle of the membrane protein is hydrophobic, the inside of the cell (the cytoplasm) is hydrophillic and the inside of the membrane protein is hydrophillic.
