Before assessing the two given cases, an assumption needs to be made about the digestion of the two types of food items, corn and beef. Let us assume that both get digested by expending same amount of energy by the human body. Let the amount of energy at producer level be an arbitrary X.
Case 1: Corn to human:
Since corn is at the producer level, it will have X amount of energy. The transfer of energy from corn to human will take place with a loss of 90% energy at the producer level. Hence the humans will receive 10% of X amount of energy.
Case 2: Corn to cow to human:
Since corn has X amount of energy, only 10% will pass to the next level, i.e. cow. So cow has 10% of X. Cow transfers only 10% of the energy that it has. Hence humans receive only 10% of 10% of X amount of energy.
It can be seen that humans receive more energy in case 1 than case 2. Hence we can say that it is more efficient for humans to feed on corn.
Answer:
The correct answer is D. The surface of the skin can be mapped into distinct regions, each served by a single spinal nerve: these regions are called dermatomes.
Explanation:
A dermatome is the area of skin innervated by a single spinal nerve and its spinal ganglion. The cutaneous nerves are those that reach the skin, picking up the sensitivity of the skin. Each cutaneous nerve is distributed in a certain area of skin, called a dermatome.
A pair of posterior or sensory roots and a pair of anterior or motor roots arise from each cord segment, joining laterally at the level of the intervertebral foramen to form a mixed spinal nerve. Each of these innervates a strip of skin called a dermatome, so the body surface can be considered a true mosaic of these.
In the extremities the arrangement of dermatomes is more complicated because of the embryological rotation of the limbs as they grow from the trunk.
Answer:
I think the answer is natriuretic peptides.
Explanation:
I hope this helps!
They both may have gone to a chilly area from their instincts.
