If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the Sun, how much energy is available for th

e third trophic level?

Answer:

10 units

Explanation:

Energy is transferred from organism to organism in an ecosystem when they feed on one another. However, based on the pyramid of energy, only about 10% of energy is transferred from one organism to another because a bulk of energy (about 90%) has been lost to metabolic activities.

Energy moves from producers to consumers, each occupying trophic levels. If the first trophic level in an energy pyramid receives 1,000 units of energy from the sun,

- 10% of 1000units will be available for the second trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 1000 = 100units

- 10% of 100units will be available for the third trophic level i.e. 10/100 × 100 = 10units

Hence, 10units of energy is available for the third trophic level.

What functions do proteins perform in the cell membrane?
kumpel [21]

Answer:

A) they help transport some substances through the membrane.

Explanation:

The membrane proteins that span the bilayer of phospholipids help in the transport of polar, large and charged substances across the membrane. The nonpolar core of the membrane does not allow these charged and polar substances to pass through. Proteins serving as channels form pores to allow movement of the specific substances.  

On the other hand, carrier transport proteins of the membrane bind to the substances present at one side of the membrane and deliver them to the opposite side.

A stem cell that has the potential to differentiate into any cell derived from either the endoderm, ectoderm, or mesoderm lineag
dlinn [17]

Answer:

Totipotential.

Explanation:

There are different cell potencies. A <u>totipotent</u> cell is a stem cell that can divide itself and <u>differentiate in any cell </u>that the organism needs. That is to say, endodermal cells, ectodermal cells, mesodermal cells, or extra-embryonic tissues. As cells differentiate themselves, they can gradually lose their potential. The cell's category that follows is pluripotent cells. These are stem cells that can only differentiate into ectoderm cells, endoderm cells, or mesoderm cells. Then we have multipotent cells, which differentiate into tissue cells. The next category is oligopotent cells. They give a limited number of specific cells, and lastly unipotent cells, only differentiate in one type of cell.
