7 0

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.

Identify the false statements regarding ketone bodies.
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Option D is false

Option E is false since it is incomplete

Option C is false

Explanation:

Well, regarding option D it is considered false because the functional groups would be:

Acetone (which is not used as an energy source, is exhaled or excreted as waste), Betahydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate (if not oxidized to be used as an energy source).

In statement C it is false, because the formation of ketone bodies increases with the presence of acetylcoA, but acetone is one of those that will always be witnessed in a lower percentage, since it is excreted by the body as waste, both either by the airways in the exhalation (characteristic ketone breath) and in the urine (cetouria)

And as for the E option, I consider it false because the ketone groups are formed in the liver and kidney.

Greater proportion in hepatic mitochondria and to a lesser extent in the kidney

Acetylcholine receptor locales are blocked. Acetylcholine receptors are found on the surface of muscle cells, moved in the neurotransmitter between nerve cells and muscle cells. It is ligand-gated particle channels, and, as different individuals from the "Cys-circle" ligand-gated particle channel superfamily, are made out of five protein subunits symmetrically organized like fights around a barrel.
