Answer: it’s 10%

Explanation: Primary consumers only obtain a fraction of the total solar energy—about 10%—captured by the producers they eat. The other 90% is used by the producer for growth, reproduction, and survival, or it is lost as heat. You can probably see where this is going. Primary consumers are eaten by secondary consumers.

Which of the following events takes place in the electron transport chain?A) the breakdown of glucose into two pyruvate molecule

castortr0y [4]

The correct answer is: C) the extraction of energy from high-energy electrons remaining from glycolysis and the citric acid cycle

Electrons from electron carriers (NADH and FADH from glycolysis and citric acid cycle) donate electrons to the electron transport chain and that causes changes in protein complexes of electron transport chain. As a consequence, protein complexes pump H+ across a selectively permeable cell membrane from the mitochondrial matrix into the intermembrane space of mitochondria. H+ can only get back and pass through the inner mitochondrial membrane with the help of ATP synthase (down their electrochemical gradient). ATP synthase turned by the force of the H+ diffusing through it forms ATP by adding a phosphate to ADP. This type of ATP synthesis is called oxidative phosphorylation and it is based on chemiosmosis-movement of ions across a selectively permeable membrane.

Which of the following would you expect to contain cells with the same number of chromsomes as an egg cell in a plant? (Pick all

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

The correct answer is option - A. Gametophyte, C. spore, and D. sperm.

Explanation:

The egg cell of a plant is haploid in the cell which means it has only one set of chromosomes. The haploid cells arise from the meiosis cell division in parent sex cells. These parent cells are divided into four cells with half of the chromosome number in comparison to the parent cells.

The gametophyte, spore, and sperm all three are the product of the meiosis division and are haploid in number.

Thus, the correct answer is option - A, gametophyte, C. spore and D. sperm.

Answer:

This can be described as assumption.

Explanation:

It should be understood that when a research is not scientifically proven with the right process,tools and other a normal or certain condition, it is described as an assumption.

In this case, Gene outcome about the plants can only be concluded as assumption because it is not proven by scientific processes or procedures.
