Answer:
Although there is no diagrammatic representation of the food web but the question can be answered based on the provided information. The answer is:
Sawgrass → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
Explanation:
Food web is an interconnected food chain i.e. a series of food chains clustered together. A food web represents the various ways one organism can feed on another in a cycle. Since a food web consists of many food chains, energy is transferred when one organism feeds on another (flow of energy).
Just like a food chain, a food web begins with a PRODUCER, which is an organism capable of producing its own food via photosynthesis. This is the case of mangrove and sawgrass in this depicted food web as they are both producers and hence, must start the food web i.e. be at the bottom of the food web. Organisms called CONSUMERS feed on producers and one another to obtain energy. Consumers can be primary, secondary or tertiary depending on the organism they feed on. Primary consumers feed directly on producers, secondary consumer on primary and tertiary consumers on secondary, in that order.
This accounts for why the American Alligator is at the top of the food web because it is a tertiary consumer.
However, as organisms feed on one another, only about 10% of the available energy is transferred because most of the energy (about 90%) has been used for metabolic processes and hence, lost as heat.
Therefore, the best description for the flow of energy in the Everglades food web is:
Sawgrass → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
Sawgrass is the producer and must begin the energy flow, followed by a primary consumer (insect). Feeding continues in that order until the tertiary consumer (American alligator) is reached.
Answer:
b) Mangrove → insects → Southern leopard frog → raccoon → American alligator; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.

What can a person do to limit exposure to X-rays?
wear sunblock
avoid cigarette smoke
wear a protective vest avoid chemicals
X-rays are a form of indirectly ionizing radiation, and it can be really nocive to the humans health, so limiting the exposure is always a priority.
Here the correct option is wearing a protective vest.
-------------------------------------
X-rays are a form of radiation that is indirectly ionizing. Remember that ionization is what causes damage to our cells, so is better to avoid exposures to these types of radiation.
Now, X-rays are strong enough that they can penetrate a lot of common materials (like wood, plastic, etc.) And once it enters in your body, the chain of reactions that starts can't be stoped by external means.
So what you need to do is limit the exposure as much as you can. Ideally, you shouldn't be near a source of X-rays, but if there is no other option, you should use protection against radiation.
It comes in different forms depending on what the application is, for example, there are led screens that you can use to put between you and the source, and these will reduce drastically the fluence (flux of photons) that gets to you.
Similarly, there are protective vests also made in part of led or other high atomic number materials, that absorb the photons and protect you.
So here the correct option is to wear a protective vest, from the given options, is the only one that will protect you from the X-rays.

) Recall what you know about crossing over, independent assortment, and random joining of sex cells during sexual reproduction.
Answer:
Crossing over is the process of interchange of genetic information among non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosome pairs during meiosis (specifically during synapsis in prophase I). During this process, the synaptonemal complex enables the interchange of chromosome fragments between non-sister chromatids through crossing over. Moreover, in sexual reproduction, the zygote diploid cell can be generated by the random joining of fully differentiated haploid gametic cells (male and female gametes). The combination of random joining with the phenomenon of crossing over is known to considerably increase the genetic variation of the resulting offspring. After zygote formation, the successive cycles of cell divisions during embryonic development will develop an organism that during its adult stage will reproduce via sexual reproduction.
The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. The general function of an enzyme in the body is to ________. eliminate waste products from the blood act as a reactant in carbohydrate storage catalyze chemical reactions maintain homeostasis maintain a neutral pH
Answer:
catalyze chemical reactions
Explanation:
An enzyme is a proteinous substance that acts as biological catalysts and increases the rate of biochemical reactions in the body. Enzymes are specific in nature which is as a result of the structure/shape of its building block (amino acid).
Enzymes speedens the rate of a chemical reaction in living systems, which would normally not occur or occur at a much slower rate, without the presence of an enzyme. Enzymes acts on the reactants called Substrates by binding to them to form products but they are not used up in the reaction. Hence, enzymes are not reactants.

Reset
Next
Answer:
Meiosis is the mechanism used for producing gametes in multicellular organisms whereas it does
unicellular organisms.
Explanation:
Meiosis is a kind of cell division used mainly by sexually-reproducing organisms, whether unicellular or multicellular, to produce gametes i.e. meiosis only occurs during gamete formation.
In sexual reproduction, gametes must fuse in a process called fertilization. This gametes, however, must each possess half of the chromosome number of the individual organism. Meiosis is the process that ensures that the chromosome number of the gametes is reduced by half i.e. diploid (2n) to haploid (n).
Therefore, meiosis is the process of gamete formation in sexually-reproducing unicellular or multicellular organisms.
When curare, a South American arrow poison, is placed on a nerve-muscle preparation, the muscle though a neurotransmitter is still being released from the nerve. Give a possible explanation for the action of curare (be sure to include specific details explaining does not contract when the nerve is stimulated, even how and why).
Answer:
In a muscle contraction,neurotransmitter acetycholine stimulate the post synaptic membrane of the neuron or the sarcolemma of the muscles cells at the motor end plate .This neurotransmission effect leads to the opening of ligand gated sodium channels.
Therefore action potential(Endplate potential) is transmitted across the synaptic juction to to the muscles to bring about contraction of muscles(effector) .Therefore Acetycholine is refereed to as excitatory hormone.
Curare works as competitive inhibitor of acetycholine at the motor end plate. It prevents the binding of Acetycholine with the endplate.Therefore, ligand gated Na+channels can not open, thus End potential can not be generated due to lack of depolarization, thus contraction of muscles is inhibited.
Thus,despite the fact that the neurotransmitter is produced, the curare has blocked the end plate.So, no muscles contraction will occur because ,no place for the the excitatory acetylcholine to bind with.Hence the the muscle cells are in the permanent state of relaxation (resting membrane potential).
Animals poisoned with this substance usually asphyxiate because of paralysis of the diaphragm, external and internal inter-coastal muscles and collapse of the lungs and therefore failure of the entire respiration muscles and system.Thus lack of oxygen from failed breathing.

Assume a population of deer has a crude birth rate of 36 per 1,000/yr, a crude death rate of 20 per 1,000/yr, an immigration rate of 15 per 1,000/yr, and an emigration rate of 8 per 1,000/yr. What is the population growth rate
Answer:
0.023%
Explanation:
The Population growth rate is a change in population with time taken into consideration. It can be expressed with the formula
[tex]N/t[/tex] where N is the total change in the population size, and t is time.
When immigration and emigration are factored in, we now have the formula;
[tex](CBR +I) - (CDR + I)/1000[/tex]
[tex]= (36 + 15) - (20 + 8) = 51 - 28= 23\\\\expressing as a percentage of the population gives us,\\\\23/1000=0.023%\\\\[/tex]

Explain why mutations that replace S/T/N residues with A/L/W residues in the N-terminal region of transmembrane proteins that function as cell surface receptors could significantly disrupt that utility of these proteins as receptors.
Answer:
Serine (S), Threonine (T) and Asparagine (N) are primary binding sites of carbohydrates, and thereby they are required to form glycoproteins (i.e., glycosylation products)
Explanation:
A transmembrane protein (TP) is a particular type of protein that crosses the cell membrane in order to enable the movement of ions and molecules. Transmembrane proteins are divided into alpha-helical and beta-barrel proteins. The N-terminal region of transmembrane glycoproteins can be required for N-linked glycosylation, which is an enzymatic mechanism capable of attaching oligosaccharides to proteins in order to form glycoproteins (glycans). N-linked glycosylation is a posttranslational protein modification that has distinct functions depending on the cell type and the protein region involved in such modification. For example, in the surface of immune cells, the N-linked glycans are capable of dictating the migration pattern of these cells.
Which of the following is a human-related release of greenhouse gases?
O A. Wild animal respiration
OB. Volcanic eruptions
O C. Intensive agriculture
O D. Solar cycles
It’s A
Answer:
C
Explanation:
I'm pretty sure it's actually C and not A. It's asking for human-related release from greenhouse gases. Humans don't cause volcanic eruptions and aren't in control of wildlife's respirations. The solar cycles has to do with the magnetic flux that rises to the surface of the sun and lasts 11 years. Intensive agriculture increases pollution which harms the environment.
Essential amino acids are amino acids that must be obtained through the diet. Non‑essential amino acids can be made biosynthetically. Classify the amino acids into either essential or non‑essential amino acids.
Answer:
Explanation:
There are at present 20 major amino acids produced in the body. These amino acids are important biological components in the body. They are the building blocks of proteins. Also essential in the synthesis of nucleotides including the DNA and RNA. There are different ways of classified these amino acids:
Essential and non essential. The essential amino acids cannot be synthesized from scratch in the body but has to be obtained from our diet, while non essential is produced by the body
Acidic, basic, neutral, polar, non polar etc.
The essential amino acids are arginine, histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
While the non essential amino acids are: alanine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine.

Explanation:
Phytoplankton, shown on the left in the image below, are microscopic organisms that can be found in freshwater and salt water environments. They perform photosynthesis to get energy and act as an important food source for larger organisms, such as the whale that is shown on the right. Phytoplankton A large whale. Which characteristic describes the whale but not its food source, the phytoplankton? The whale is heterotrophic. The whale has cell walls. The whale is unicellular. The whale is a prokaryote.
Answer:
The whale is heterotrophic.
Explanation:
Energy is needed by organisms to perform their life functions. Organisms, in nature, feed on one another for energy source. Some organisms are, however, capable of synthesizing their own food or energy source via a process called photosynthesis. This is the case of the phytoplankton in the question. These organisms are, therefore, called AUTOTROPHIC ORGANISMS or PRODUCERS.
On the other hand, some organisms are incapable of this self-production of energy source. Hence, they rely on other organisms for it. These category of organisms are called HETEROTROPHIC organisms, which is the category the large whale fall into due to its dependence on phytoplankton for energy source.
In a cell with defective chaperones, Question 14 options: proteins would not be able to exit the ribosome. the concentration of misfolded proteins would be higher than normal. proteins would not be delivered to their appropriate cellular locations. ribosomes would not associate with the endoplasmic reticulum.
Answer:
the concentration of misfolded proteins would be higher than normal.
Explanation:
Chaperones proteins are required for the correct protein folding of proteins. These proteins were first discovered in bacteria. The level of chaperones is increased under thermic stress conditions, it is for that reason that they are also known as heat shock proteins (Hsp). For example, Hsp70 is a chaperon protein constitutively expressed under stress conditions that is involved in the folding of protein precursors and the refolding of misfolded proteins. In humans, Hsp70 is encoded by the HSPA1A gene, and its increased expression level is related to different health problems including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebral ischemia and epilepsy.
In 1998, paleoanthropologist Rick Potts published an article in The Yearbook of Physical Anthropology, a peer-reviewed journal. The article was titled “Environmental Hypotheses of Hominin Evolution.” In his paper, Potts claimed that great variations in environmental conditions over time were responsible for the adaptability of humans and the success of our species. Which would most likely be found in his paper? a review of modern human anatomical structure evidence of changing environmental conditions, with references the reasons competing hypotheses are wrong his opinion of what will happen to the survival of the human race
Answer:
Dr. Potts used environmental data to support environmental hypotheses capable of explaining human evolution
Explanation:
In this paper, the author stated that environmental factors have been fundamental for the emergence of adaptive traits during human evolution. In consequence, Dr. Potts explained how particular environmental factors and habitats might have shaped human evolution. For example, it has been hypothesized that dry savanna vegetation might have been a key environmental factor associated to the emergence of human traits including, among others, bipedality, making of tools from stones, the development of human brains, etc. In order to prove this hypothesis, the author recorded environmental data from different regions in Africa (Olorgesailie, Olduvai, Turkana, Zhoukoudian, etc), where it is believed that first hominids evolved about 6-8 million years ago.

g 1 molecule of glucose is catabolized to pyruvate and then acetyl-coA. All the acetyl-coA enters the citric acid cycle. How many molecules of NADH are produced from the citric acid cycle only (do not include NADH from glycolysis or the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in your calculation.) You must answer as a number i.e if you think the answer is 12, you must enter 12, not twelve.
Answer:
6NADH
Explanation:
In the kreb's cycle NAD is reduced during the reduction of 6-carbon citrate to 5 carbon Alpha-Ketoglularate.
The second is produced during the conversion of 5carbon alpha ketoglutarate to succinate. Lastly in the conversion of fumirate to oxoloacetate;another NADH is formed.
However, since two pyruvate enters the Kreb's cycle therefore 6NADH(three NADH per cycle of Citric) are produced for each molecule of glucose that is broken down from glycolysis.
Remember,each glucose molecule goes through 2 cycles of Kreb.
Futhermore co-enzyme FADH2 are also produced,with 2 molecules per 1 glucose.
These Co-ezymes transfer hydrogen ions,into the matrix of the mitochondria,where is is splits to protons and electrons.
The electrons formed the ETC,which produce PMF for transporting protons into the intramembranes for electrochemical gradients needed to generate energy for ATP s synthesis,by ATP synthase.
