Give reasons why the energy level decrease as you move down a food chain..

Biology
1 answer:
avanturin [10]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: Energy decreases as it moves up trophic levels because energy is lost as metabolic heat when the organisms from one trophic level are consumed by organisms from the next level. Trophic level transfer efficiency (TLTE) measures the amount of energy that is transferred between trophic levels. or in materials that the consumer does not digest, or  through movement

Hope it helps! ^w^

The hormone _____ is secreted by the cells of the pancreatic islets to increase the amount of glucose in the blood.​
Damm [24]

Answer: d. insulin

<span>Actually, there are two hormones secreted by islet cells within the pancreas: insulin and the glucagon.  However, their secretions in response to blood sugar levels, are in opposite fashion! </span>

 

<span>Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas while glucagon by the alpha cells. The </span><span>amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.  In the same way, as the blood glucose falls, the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas goes down.</span>

In glucagon, it is opposite. If blood glucose is high, then there is no glucagon secreted. Therefore, the answer is insulin.

Virtually all cells in the human body have the same DNA. What’s make some undifferentiated cells differentiated into brain cells
mariarad [96]

Answer:

Changes in gene expression

Explanation:

This phenomenon is the result of changes in gene expression. That means, how the information in the DNA is used by the cell. The genes that are active in the cells of the brain will be very different from the genes that are active in the cells of the bone marrow.

These patterns of gene expression are different for each cell, and dictate the identity of that cell. Gene expression patterns are controlled by a variety of factors in the cell that allow tissue-specific expression, such a transcription factors.

This can also be facilitated by another layer of regulation called epigenetics, which literally means "on top of" genetics, and refers to modifications of DNA (and the proteins around it), that can reflect and influence the activity of the genes within.
