Answer:

Through different studies scientist have quantified the amount of energy that moves to the next trophic level. Most of the energy is used for metabolic processes and released as heat to the environment.

The amount of energy left for the next level is around 10%, if a herbivore takes 1,OOO Kilojoules the energy left for the next level would be around 100 Kilojoules, this explains why you cannot find a food chain with more than 7-8 levels (ocean) on land is usually between 4-6 levels.

<h2>Answer </h2>
  • Hybridization
  • Recombinant DNA
  • Selective Breeding

<u>Explanation</u>

1. Cross-breeding; a method that unionizes gametes of differing genes to create a new individual is hybridization. It is the idea of combining atomic orbitals into different hybrid orbitals that is proper for the pairing of electrons to create chemical bonds in valence bond as per the atomic theory.

2. Cultured DNA molecules from different biological sources is recombinant DNA. They are the molecules are DNA molecules determining by laboratory techniques of genetic recombination to take mutually genetic material from various origins.

3. A process of breeding organisms because of their specific traits is selective breeding. It is the method that grants humans practice animal breeding and plant breeding to selectively develop selective over phenotypic traits

The best response is this: USE A MOISTURIZER ON THE SKIN DAILY TO HELP REDUCE ITCHING. 
Using a moisturizer on the skin is an effective mean of reliving dryness and in extension reducing itchiness. The moisturizer will keep the skin moist and thus reduce pruritus.

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is OPTION B (b. Yes—the initial infection might be acute but the virus can later become latent by becoming integrated into the host cell genome).

Explanation:

The hepatitis B virus has an unusual feature similar to retroviruses. This makes it deadly and difficult to treat when it is at an advanced stage. It basically attacks the liver and can cause both an acute and persistent infection.

In the acute stage, the cells are newly attacked and the body is fighting it off, the symptoms might start showing depending on how long it has invaded the body. These symptoms include dark urine, vomiting, yellowing of the skin and eyes (jaundice), the liver can still fail at this stage causing death.

At the persistent stage, which is already chronic, the invaded cells have been weakened, the symptoms are slow to resolve therefore it is in a prolonged stage which can lead to liver cancer and eventual death.
