The correct answer is option Energy is lost at each trophic level.
In a Ecological pyramid, the energy is transferred from the producer to the consumer level. The ecological pyramid is triangular in structure, this is because the number of organism on each successive trophic level is less than the preceding one or the one below it.
The reason of this shape of ecological pyramid is on subsequent trophic level, the amount of energy transferred is only 10%. The rest of the energy is dissipated in the environment in the form of heat. As only 10% of total energy is transferred to the subsequent level, The amount of energy reaching to tertiary consumer is very less that it cannot meet the energy demand of next level.
Answer:
It is C
Explanation:
I had this on my test last week
Answer:
these differentiate as a result of signaling mechanisms. ... The daughter cells divides and after each division it becomes more specialized. When it reaches a mature cell type downstream (for example, becomes a red blood cell) it will no longer divide.
Stratification in the field of ecology refers to the vertical layering of a habitat; the arrangement of vegetation in layers. ... strata) of vegetation largely according to the different heights to which their plants grow. The individual layers are inhabited by different animal and plant communities (stratozones).
Answer:
The correct answer would be calcium ion and cAMP.
Secondary messengers refers to the intracellular signaling molecules which pass the signals from the receptors located on the surface of the cell to the target molecule present within the cell.
The secondary messengers can be classified into three major class:
- Cyclic nucleotide for example cAMP (cyclic adenosine monophosphate), cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate)
- DAG (diacylglycerol) and IP₃ (inositol triphosphate)
- Calcium ions (Ca⁺⁺)
Hence, from the given options, calcium ion and cAMP would make the correct choice.
