Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The synthesis phase of the interphase of the cell cycle is characterized by the <u>replication of DNA in the nucleus</u> and the <u>duplication of the centrosome in the cytoplasm.</u>

<em>At the synthesis phase, the amount of DNA present in the nucleus of a cell is doubled without the doubling of the chromosome number. For example, if a cell enters the synthesis phase with 2 g DNA, it leaves the phase with 4 g DNA while the number of chromosomes remains intact. Also, a duplicate copy of the centrosome is made in the cytoplasm of the cell in preparation for mitosis.</em>

Which of the following situations accurately describes a difference between a food chain and a food web? Select one:
Natasha2012 [34]
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! :-)

Which of the following statements is true? A thin layer of chyme protects the lining of the digestive tract from being broken do
zheka24 [161]

The correct answer is: Heartburn often results when the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly.

The gastroesophageal sphincter is a muscle located at the bottom of the esophagus that has to be relaxed in order to allow food to flow down into the stomach. After it contracts (tightens), the food and the stomach acid can’t flow back up into the esophagus.

When the gastroesophageal sphincter fails to close properly acid reflux occurs and causes the heartburn.
