Answer and Explanation:

UGA, UAG and UAA are the stop codons in the genetic code. During translation, these stop codons signal the end of the polypeptide chain. These codons do not code for an amino acid. Therefore they are called termination codons or nonsense codons. These stop codons have been called as ochre (UAA), amber (UAG) and umber or opal (UGA). Richard Epstein and Charles Steinberg revealed Amber (UAG). They named it amber while remaining two stop codons named as ochre (UAA) and opal (UAG) to maintain the theme of ‘colors names’. Stop codons release the new polypeptide chain from the ribosome, during protein synthesis. This happens because there are no tRNAs with anticodon corresponding to the stop codon.

How does cocaine induce a sense of exhilaration? by decreasing the activity of the main excitatory neurotransmitter in the brain
Tcecarenko [31]
Cocaine induces a sense of exhilaration by increasing the availability of dopamine and serotonin in synapses. Cocaine is among the powerful stimulants which increase the release of neurotransmitters such as nor-epinephrine, dopamine and serotonin, that affect CNS and PNS activity. Cocaine administration constricts blood vessels that are absorbing it, son snorting it is a slow way to deliver it to blood stream and eventually the brain.

Less than 0.1% of the enegery in a food chain generally makes it from the sun to quaternary consumers
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Generally, 10% of total available energy is transferred to the next trophic level in any food chain. Rest about 90 % of the stored chemical energy is lost as heat, a by-product of respiration. Let’s assume a 10% transfer rate, starting from producer (100%), primary consumer (10% ), secondary consumer 1%) and tertiary consumer have (0.1%). Therefore, quaternary consumers will have less than 0.1% of energy. Thus, statement is true.
