Environmental manipulation of a crop can not only have unexpected consequences, but also have a negative impact on the atmosphere as well. The crops produced might be of inferior quality than expected. The amount of crop that grows can also be less. More water might be needed for the crops to grow.
Answer:
38
Explanation:
In eukaryotic cells, the maximum production of ATP molecules generated per glucose molecule during cellular respiration is 38, i.e., 2 ATP molecules from glycolysis, 2 ATP molecules from the Krebs cycle, and 34 ATP molecules from the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). <em>In vivo</em> (i.e., in the cell), this number is not reached because there is an energy cost associated with the movement of pyruvate (CH3COCOO−) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into the mitochondrial matrix, thereby the predicted yield is approximately 30 ATP molecules per glucose molecule. In aerobic bacteria, aerobic respiration of glucose occurs in the cytoplasm (since bacteria do not contain membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria), and thereby, in this case, it is expected that aerobic respiration using glucose yields 38 ATP per glucose molecule.
Lets look at your first question. A food chain is a linear (line) relationship between organisms. It shows who eats what and who gets eaten. The energy is passed up the chain from one organisms to the next. A food web is a series of interconnected food chains. It can show one organism being preyed upon by several predators. The answer choice A is really referring to an energy pyramid, but it is true in any ecosystem that only 10% of available energy is passed to the next trophic level. B and C are both true statements as well. D is completely false because 90% of energy is lost, not retained. So with that said, there is more than one correct answer here. I have included a diagram so you can see the difference between the two.
For Question 8, the key to understanding this is that sunlight is the main source of energy for any ecosystem. Plants (autotrophs) use the sunlight to convert it to sugars (glucose) which is a compound that heterotrophs can utilize. This process is called photosynthesis. :-)
Question 9: So in a food chain, you typically start with the producers (plants), then to the primary consumer, then secondary consumer, then tertiary consumer, and in some cases you may have a quaternary consumer. That is 4 links. However, we are forgetting the role of decomposers at all levels of this food chain, and that would add an extra link. In summary, you wouldn't typically see more than 5 links in a food chain.
I hope all of my explanations are helpful! Good luck! :-)
Answer:
Key points
Neurons communicate with one another at junctions called synapses. At a synapse, one neuron sends a message to a target neuron—another cell.
Most synapses are chemical; these synapses communicate using chemical messengers. Other synapses are electrical; in these synapses, ions flow directly between cells.
At a chemical synapse, an action potential triggers the presynaptic neuron to release neurotransmitters. These molecules bind to receptors on the postsynaptic cell and make it more or less likely to fire an action potential.
