Why is biomass at the second trophic level in most ecosystems not as great as biomass at the first trophic

Biology
1 answer:
alexira [117]3 years ago
7 0
Only about ten per cent of the biomass is transferred from each trophic level to the next. The remaining 90 per cent is used by the trophic level to complete life processes . Biomass can be lost between stages because not all of the matter eaten by an organism is digested.

Genetic information is transmitted from DNA to
Alexus [3.1K]


The best answer is D.

Genetic information for synthesis of a protein is transmitted from DNA to the ribosomes, which are the site for protein synthesis. This is facilitated by messenger RNA or mRNA in short.

In the nucleus of the cell, information from DNA is copied (transcribed) onto mRNA which leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm where it attaches to the ribosome. The information on the attached  mRNA is  decoded and read ( translated) by transfer RNA (tRNA) which then brings corresponding amino acids to the ribosome to be linked together to form the protein.

Naddik [55]

Answer:

A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.

B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It can bind to an acetylcholine receptor on the surface of a cell. If this receptor is also a sodium channel, we would call acteylcholine a ligand and its receptor a ligand gated receptor.

Explanation:

Answer:

A. Neurotransmitters can act as ligands.

B. Acetylcholine is a neurotransmitter. It can bind to an acetylcholine receptor on the surface of a cell. If this receptor is also a sodium channel, we would call acteylcholine a ligand and its receptor a ligand gated receptor.

Explanation:

Neurotransmitter are chemicals that transfer signals between neurons and nerve cells. They control some physical and physiologocal activity such as appetite, food.

Acetycoline is an example of neurotransmitter and it is located in the parasympathetic nervous system. Ligand are substance that form complexes with biomolecule. They serve biological purpose with this biomolecule.

This ligand binds to target site. Neurotransmitter act as ligand by binding to receptor in the postsynaptic neuron and acetycoline a type of neurotransmitter can also serve as ligand they bind to acetycoline receptor on cell surface.
