Answer:

Not all humans belong to the same trophic level. This is due to the dietary choices each human makes.Next come the omnivores that eat a mixture of plants and herbivores. That's where humans rank, with a trophic level of 2.2.

Explanation:

Many humans are omnivores, meaning they consume both plant and animal material. Thus, they may be on the third or even fourth trophic level. For example, if you consume beef (cows are herbivores), you are a part of the third trophic level. If you were to eat salmon though, salmon consume other fish, and this would mean you are a tertiary consumer on the fourth trophic level.

Vegans and vegetarians who do not consume fish or meat of any kind are primary consumers. They belong on the second trophic level.

Genetic engineering has many applications, including uses in the medical, agricultural, and environmental industries. Describe o

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Genetic engineering has multiple applications in different fields. Genetic engineering is the process by which alterations are made at the genetic level so that the final product is superior in quality and yield.

Explanation:

Following are few of it's applications:

Medical field- Genetic engineering is been used to produce insulin artificially, human growth hormones, anti hemophiliac factors, vaccines and other drugs.

Agricultural industry- It has been used to synthesize improvised crops which give better yield and are pest resistant. E.g Flavr savr, a species of tomato which is more juicy and larger in size than regular tomatoes.

Environment- With the introduction of herbicide resistant corn, farmers reduced the use of tractors which in turn reduced the amount of greenhouse gases. Also, by imparting disease resistance to plants, a lot of plants are prevented from dying. In addition, the biodiversity of an area can be maintained.

What is the best way to describe active transport?

andriy [413]

active transport. The movement of ions or molecules across a cell membrane in the direction opposite that of diffusion, that is, from an area of lower concentration to one of higher concentration. Active transport requires the assistance of a type of protein called a carrier protein, using energy supplied by ATP.

Explain how the terms speed velocity and acceleration are related to each other

muminat

Acceleration is a little more complicated. It is defined as the rate of change of the object's velocity over its change in time. ... Or, if the acceleration is negative, it's called deceleration and describes something slowing down. For something to speed up or slow down, it has to have a certain change in velocity

At what stage of mitosis is there a regulatory checkpoint that detects chromosomal abnormalities

trasher [3.6K]

The detection of chromosomal abnormalities occurs at the G1 stage. This is when the cell has to commit to the process of the rest of the cycle. Thus, if any abnormalities are detected the process can be delayed or stopped entirely.

Which equation best represents conservation of matter?

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

A 6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Explanation:

The law of conservation of matter states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a system. In other words, when elemental matter undergoes a reaction, the amount of elements used must be equal the amount produced.

The equations in this question depicts the overall photosynthetic process where CO2 combines with H2O to produce C6H12O6 and O2. In order for this equation to obey the "conservation of matter", each individual element must be equal on both the reactant and the product side i.e. the equation must be balanced.

The equation that fulfills this is:

6H2O + 6CO2 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Hence, it correctly describes the conservation of matter.
