In an ecosystem, a deer consumes grass. What percentage of energy will the deer acquire from the grass? 0. 1% 1% 10% 100%.

1 answer:

7 0

In an ecosystem, the energy is transferred between the organisms participating in the food webs from producers and consumers.

The percentage of energy transferred to the deer after feeding on the grass is 10%.

The 10% law of the energy states that:

1. The food chain at each trophic level passes or transmits only 10% of the energy and 90% of the energy is lost as heat.

2. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases, such that the producers if consuming the 100 J of energy, the deers or primary consumers at the first trophic level will have only 10% of the energy.

Thus, the deer will possess only 10% of the energy at each trophic level, following the 10% law.

The correct answer is Option C.

We used the enzyme, taq polymerase, which is derived from the thermus aquaticus bacterium, in our pcr procedure. Why is this enz

wel

The enzyme Taq polymerase is required in the PCR process because it is the main enzyme that synthesizes the new DNA strands complementary to the template strand and without the activity of this enzyme the PCR will be useless and it cannot make the copy of the given strand in any way. Thus, this enzyme is very much necessary for the efficient working of the PCR.

Polymerase Chain Reaction is a very efficient technique that can able to detect and copy even a small amount of DNA by performing a set of reactions at different temperatures.

The PCR process begins with the denaturing of the template strand at 95°C, followed by annealing in which the appropriate primers bind to the single strands of DNA at 50-56°C, followed by extension at 72°C in which the thermostable Taq polymerase synthesizes the strand complementary to the template DNA.

abruzzese [7]

All the nerve processes radiating out beyond the brain and spinal cord, as well as all the neurons outside the brain and spinal cord, constitute the peripheral nervous system.

Spinal cord is the backbone present in the vertebrates. It is essential for the correct posture and erect body. It extends from the end of the brain till the hipbone. The spinal cord consists of total 5 types of bones called vertebrae, that are total 33 in number.

Peripheral nervous system consists of parts of nervous system outside the brain and the spinal cord. It involves cranial and spinal nerves and their roots and branches, peripheral nerves, and neuromuscular junctions.
