Answer:

Yes (It's more inefficient)

Explanation:

in ecology there are things called primary producers (plants) that are eaten by primary consumers (cows and chickens) and then there are humans, secondary consumers, that eat cows and chickens for energy.

The further we move from eating primary producers the more inefficient we become in consuming energy. Meaning, it requires a lot more natural energy consumption to support a human that lives on meat only as compared to a human that eats plants only. this inefficiency only magnifies when communities practice unsustainable food methods.

There are sustainable ways to eat meat, but (at least in the US) our current conventions of meat production are unsustainable and environmentally destructive.

What is the difference between population and organism?

Ostrovityanka [42]

An organism describes an individual. You are an organism. I am an organism. The mosquito that flies by your window is an organism. An organism is a single, living thing and can be an animal, a plant, or a fungus. Organisms grow and respond to their environment.

A population is the term we use to describe multiple individuals or organisms of a single species that live within a particular geographic area. For example, there may be one population of painted turtles in one state and another population of painted turtles 250 miles away in another state.

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about what percentage is used by the brain and nerve cells?

Alexeev081 [22]

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about 20% is used by the brain and nerve cells.

The brain constitutes about 2% of the total body but it is one of the main consumers of energy derived from glucose.

The energy provided by glucose is used for the proper functioning of the brain. It generates ATP which is an energy source that is responsible for r neuronal and non-neuronal cellular maintenance and generates neurotransmitters.

Thus glucose-derived energy is critical for the health of the brain. Lack of energy can cause several brain diseases.

Answer:

Acidophilic and acidotolerant eukaryotic microorganisms such as algae, amoebas, ciliates, heliozoan and rotifers, not to mention filamentous fungi and yeasts.

Explanation:

Acidophilic and acidotolerant eukaryotic microorganisms such as algae, amoebas, ciliates, heliozoan and rotifers are the organisms which can survive in highly acidic solution that have large amounts of iron, sulfur dioxide, carbondioxide, and oxygen molecule. In these organisms algae is autotrophic whereas archaea, bacteria, fungi, yeasts and protozoa are heterotrophic.

Species a diverged from species b 60,000 years ago. On a particular gene, they have 15 nucleotide differences. How many nucleoti

a_sh-v [17]

The given question says that b species diverged around 60,000 year ago from species a. Since the divergence, they have a nucleotide difference of 15 nucleotide.

We need to find out the nucleotide difference in another 240,000 year, which means a total of 300,000 year since divergence.

The nucleotide difference in 60,000 years = 15 nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 1 year = $\frac{15}{60,000}$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = $\frac{15}{60,000}\times 300,000$ nucleotide.

The nucleotide difference in 300,000 years = 75 nucleotide.

Hence, after another 240,000 years or 300,000 years since divergence, the species and species b would show a difference of 75 nucleotide.

In another 240,000 years, there would be 60 nucleotide difference, as 15 of the nucleotide are already different in initial 60,000 years from the total of 75 nucleotide difference in 300,000 years. So, 60 (75-15) nucleotide difference would be observed in next 240,000 years.
