Due to the following factors which includes relative longevity and reproductive capacity of predators of the relative longevity and reproductive capacity of predators and planktons, that the aquatic pyramid of biomass is inverted 
CommentsReport5.02 votesTHANKS19prmkulk1978AcePyramid of Bio mass: If we plot the biomass of producers, herbivores and carnivores, we get two types of biomass pyramid they are
1. Upright( found most in all ecosystem)2. Inverted
If a smaller weight of producers supports a larger weight of consumers, as in aquatic ecosystem, an inverted biomass results.Inverted biomass pyramid results because of different rate of production at different trophic levels.For example:In forest ecosystem trees live for almost 100 years and tiny diatoms in aquatic ecosystem live for only few days.A tree may take 5 to 10 years to produce its first seed where as diatom may take less than a day to reproduce.thus diatom, may reproduce millions of time during 5-10 years and all this lives in biomass to survive, it would be heavier than a tree. Accumulation of biomass may be small but production rate is high in diatom based system.

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

An amino acid activates the repressor so that the repressor binds to the operator and prevents transcription.

Explanation:

In an operon, promoter is followed by operator which is finally followed by the structural genes to be transcribed. RNA Polymerase binds to the promoter and initiates transcription. A repressor can negatively control the transcription process by binding to the operator so that the RNA Polymerase is not able to move forward and transcription is halted.

For example: in trp operon, tryptophan amino acid binds to the repressor molecule which leads to change in repressor's shape. The repressor is now able to bind to the operator and prevent transcription.

For a science fair project, two students decided to repeat the Hershey and Chase experiment, with modifications. They decided to
Reptile [31]

Answer: E. Amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Explanation:

The Hershey-Chase experiment, is an experiment that demonstrated that the genetic material of phage isn't protein but rather it's DNA.

Based on the information given in the question, the experiment will not work because amino acids (and thus proteins) also have nitrogen atoms; thus, the radioactivity would not distinguish between DNA and proteins.

Therefore, the correct option is E.
