Answer:

E) 2

Explanation:

The energy transfer through the food chain is not 100% from one consumer to another, or from the producer to the primary consumer, but instead it is around 10%. This means that if a producer has the 100% of energy, as it is the one that produces it, the primary consumer will only get 10% of its energy while consuming it, while the predator of the the primary consumer will only 10% from the primary consumer, or rather only 1% from the energy of the producer. In this case we have 200 kg of plant material. The plant material represents a producer, thus it is the one with 100% of energy. A herbivore will eat the plant material, getting 10% of its energy, thus this plant material is supporting about 20 kg of herbivore. The predator of the herbivore gets only 10% from the herbivore's energy, or only 1% of the producer's energy, thus only 2 kg of predator can be supported by the initial plant material.

During the S phase in the cell cycle, the chromosomes are replicated so that there are two copies. These copies are necessary so that each daughter cell created during the M phase will have an identical copy of the DNA.

Therefore, the answer is A: The DNA must be replicated. 


The chromosomes joining, cell membrane expanding, and cytoplasm separating all happen during the M phase (mitosis).

Refer to the erg to find the potential hazards to health for un1825
Nat2105 [25]
<span>UN1825 refers to Sodium monoxide.It is a white granular material. It reacts with water to give sodium hydroxide with the evolution of heat. It is corrosive to metals and tissue. The oxides of sodium and potassium react with water vigorously and with enough evolution of heat to cause boiling and spattering of hot caustic solution.Reaction with water may generate much heat that will increase the concentration of fumes in the air. Fire will produce irritating, corrosive and/or toxic gases. Runoff from fire control or dilution water may be corrosive and/or toxic and cause pollution.</span>
