Asexual
Pro:
1. inexpensive to make offspring (usually make a lot at a time and not invest a lot of time in raising them).
2. Do not need a mate to reproduce.
3. Can rapidly expand a population
Con:
1. genetically identical- prone to extinction because once a parasite has evolved to attack a specific genotype, it can kill them all.
2. Lineages usually don't last longer than a couple thousand years
Sexual:
Pros:
1. Genetically unique- so more likely to create a "successful" offspring
2. Lineages more likely to last hundreds of thousands of years
Cons:
1. More effort into creating offspring- require more parental effort
2. STD's- easily to pass
3. need to find a mate or else won't be successful as an organism.
Hope this helps you.
the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal
I can't see the picture, but in general, I believe it is in dropping from the first energy level above the ground state, to the ground state.
Magnesium element exists as single atoms. Free oxygen is always diatomic (two atoms bonded together) as O2. Nitrogen gas is also diatomic N2.
2Mg + O2 → MgO
Mg forms a +2 ion, O forms a -2 ion, so they combine and balance in a 1:1 ratio. MgO, magnesium oxide, is a solid.
3Mg + N2→Mg3N2
Mg forms a +2 ion, but N forms a -3 ion. Hence the Mg3N2 configuration for magnesium nitride.
