Answer:

600 kcal

Explanation:

In an ecosystem, energy is transferred from one organism in a trophic level to another organism in another trophic level. Organisms called PRODUCERS are capable of deriving energy from the sun. However, when fed upon by PRIMARY CONSUMERS, only about 10% of the energy is transferred to them because most of the energy (90%) is lost as heat.

Hence, in this case where the producers had 6,000 kcal of energy, 10% i.e. 10/100 of 6000 = 600 kcal of energy will be transferred to the primary consumers.

Both purple and white flowers are recessive phenotypes. In order for an organism to exhibit a recessive phenotype, its genotype must be homogenous for the recessive allele. This is only possible if the parents of the organisms are also purebreeding and they demonstrate the same recessive phenotypes.

During glycolysis, glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.

mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Glycolysis produces pyruvate, ATP, and NADH by oxidizing glucose.

Explanation:

Glycolysis is an oxidation reaction in which glucose reacts with oxygen molecules and oxidized. By oxidizing glucose, it produces pyruvate, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotides (NADH). Glycolysis has two phases. In the first phase, 2 ATP molecules are invested for the phosphorylation of glucose to break down into a simpler one. In the second phase of glycolysis, 4 ATP molecules are earned back with 2 NADH and a simpler form of glucose (6C) to pyruvate (3C) by oxidizing glucose.
