From the total energy that reaches the ground, 1% is used by producers. The energy transference in the trophic web follows the 10% rule, in which each level uses 10% of the energy stored by the anterior level.

---------------------------------------

Only 1% of the total solar energy that reaches the ground is used by producers, who occupy the first trophic level.

From this input of solar energy, it begins a unidirectional energy flow through all the organisms in the ecosystem, from autotrophs to heterotrophs, until it is finally dissipated in the environment.

At each trophic level, it occurs an energy transfer from one level to the next, with only 10% being usable in each of them. This assessment is called "The 10% rule".

This is, as a general rule, only about 10% of the energy stored as biomass at one trophic level, per unit time, ends up as biomass at the next trophic level, in the same unit of time.

The progressive reduction of energy determines the number of trophic levels (4 or 5).

If 30,000,000 MJ of Sunlight (solar energy) reaches ground, then only 30,000 MJ can be absorbed by primary producers.

5,216.4 MJ from 52,164 MJ of energy stored in the soybeans, are used by cattle.

1,645 MJ of energy is stored in edible beef by cattle who eat the soybeans.

164.5 MJ of this energy is tranferred to the following trophic level.

Describe peptide bonding and provide an example

miskamm [114]

Answer:

A peptide bond is a covalent bond formed between two amino acids. Living organisms use peptide bonds to form long chains of amino acids, known as proteins. Proteins are used in many roles including structural support, catalyzing important reactions, and recognizing molecules in the environment. A peptide bond is therefore the basis of most biological reactions. Forming peptide bonds is a requirement for all life, and the process is very similar in all forms of life.

Imagine that a mutation in DNA produces a protein with a slightly different amino acid sequence. how would this mutation affect

Lynna [10]

Answer:

It would most likely render the protein nonfunctional or mis-functional.

The mutation could result in three outcomes:

Silent mutation, which changes the codon to the same amino acid. (AAA->AAG, both are lysine). But since the problem specified that it has a "slightly different amino acid sequence," we can assume this doesn't happen.
Nonsense mutation, which changes a codon to a stop codon. This would end the chain of amino acids, making the protein potentially nonfunctional.
Missense mutation, which changes a codon to another completely different codon. This can be harmful, as in sickle-cell disease, where just one amino acid, glutamic acid, is changed to valine.
