Which of the following best describes the flow of energy in the Everglades food web shown below? (4 points) Diagram for an everglades food web. The food web contains the following organisms: American alligator, egret, raccoon, carp, Key deer, insects, Southern leopard frog, mangrove, and sawgrass. Mangrove is at the bottom of the food web, with arrows pointing to Key deer and insects. Sawgrass is also at the bottom of the web, with an arrow pointing to insects. Key deer, insects and Southern leopard frog are on the next level up. The Key deer has an arrow pointing to American alligator. The insects point to egret, carp, and Southern leopard frog. The Southern leopard frog points to the American alligator and the raccoon. The egret, carp and raccoon all points upward toward the American alligator. The carp also points to the egret. The American alligator is at the top of the food web. Mangrove → insects → carp → American alligator; about 90 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. 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. American alligator → carp → insects → mangrove; about 10 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level. Egret → insects → mangrove → key deer → American alligator; about 90 percent of the energy in one trophic level is transferred to the next trophic level.
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.

70s Ribosomal RNAnon membrane bound DNAWhat Are Blood vessels
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{\mathrm{see \: below}}[/tex]
Explanation:
Blood vessels are vessels that carry blood through organs and tissues. The five types of blood vessels are: arteries, veins, arterioles, capillaries, and venules. The main function of blood vessels is to carry blood throughout the body.
Answer:The blood vessels are the components of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.[1] These vessels transport blood cells, nutrients, and oxygen to the tissues of the body. They also take waste and carbon dioxide away from the tissues. Blood vessels are needed to sustain life, because all of the body's tissues rely on their functionality.[2]
There are five types of blood vessels: the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart; the arterioles; the capillaries, where the exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues occurs; the venules; and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back towards the heart.
The word vascular, meaning relating to the blood vessels, is derived from the Latin vas, meaning vessel. Some structures – such as cartilage, the epithelium, and the lens and cornea of the eye – do not contain blood vessels and are labeled avascular.
How is an actual greenhouse similar to the natural greenhouse effect?
Explanation:
That's because the glass walls of the greenhouse trap the Sun's heat. The greenhouse effect works much the same way on Earth. Gases in the atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide, trap heat just like the glass roof of a greenhouse.
One of the procedures for cloning foreign DNA segments takes advantage of restriction endonucleases such as HindIII that produce complementary single strand ends (sticky ends). These enzymes produce identical sticky ends on cleaved foreign DNA and on the vector DNA into which you insert your DNA. Assume you have inserted your favorite gene into the HindIII site of the Bluescript cloning vector with ligase, you amplified it in E.coli, and isolated a large quantity of the plasmid with the insert. How do you excise your favorite gene from the plasmid?
Answer:
Restriction endonucleases are utilized to cut the deoxyribonucleic acid at a specific Restriction site. HindIII is an example of Restriction endonuclease. The Restriction site of HindIII is as per the following:
5'A*AGCTT3'
3'TTCGA*A5' (* represents restriction site)
The Restriction endonuclease cuts the particular gene from the foreign DNA and produces numerous fragments with the sticky ends. The part of the outside DNA which contains the gene of intrigue or a particular gene is ligated with the plasmid.
On the off chance that foreign DNA and plasmid DNA are separated by the same Restriction endonuclease, they will create sticky ends integral to one another. In this way, the segment of foreign DNA can be ligated to the plasmid DNA by the assistance of DNA ligase at the integral sticky end to shape a recombinant DNA.
Additionally, by the assistance of the same Restriction endonuclease for example HindIII for this situation, the recombinant plasmid can be treated with a similar Restriction endonuclease to extract the ideal gene or gene of intrigue.

The cross AB/ab X ab/ab produces the following progeny: AB/ab 391, ab/ab 401, aB/ab 406, Ab/ab 386. From these data, one can conclude that the A and B loci assort independently.
A. True
B. False
Answer:
B
Explanation:
The two loci did not assort independently.
In order to check for independent assortment or otherwise of the result from the cross, Chi-square is used to see if the result conforms with that of Mendelian standard of 9:3:3:1.
Phenotype Observed f Expected f [tex]X^2[/tex] = [tex]\frac{(O - E)^2}{E}[/tex]
AB/ab 391 9/16 x 1584 = 891 [tex]\frac{(391-891)^2}{891}[/tex] = 280.58
ab/ab 401 3/16 x 1584 = 297 [tex]\frac{(401-297)^2}{297}[/tex] = 36.42
aB/ab 406 3/16 x 1584 = 297 [tex]\frac{(406-297)^2}{297}[/tex] = 40.00
Ab/ab 386 1/16 x 1584 = 99 [tex]\frac{(386-99)^2}{99}[/tex] = 832.01
Total [tex]X^2[/tex] = 280.58 + 36.42 + 40.00 + 832.01 = 1,189.01
Degree of freedom = 4 - 1 = 3
Tabulated [tex]X^2[/tex] at degree 3 freedom and 95% level = 7.815
The calculated [tex]X^2[/tex] value is more than the tabulated value. Therefore, we conclude that the outcome of the cross is not in agreement with Mendelian standard and hence, the A and B loci did not assort independently.
The correct option is B.

does each type of hormone interact with the cell? What other molecules are
required for or involved in their function?
Answer:
1. hormones
2. endocrine glands
3. pituitary

5. fewer amounts of the hormone
6. parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH)
7. the thyroid and parathyroid glands
8. Steroid hormones are produced from cholesterol, while nonsteroid hormones are produced from amino acids.
Explanation:
Hormones are signaling molecules secreted by the body to control cellular activities The endocrine glands are glands that don't have ducts to carry their secreted products (hormones) to the surface. Endocrine glands include the hypothalamus, ovaries, testes, pancreas, adrenal glands, parathyroid glands, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thymus and thyroid glands. The pituitary gland is an endocrine gland that secretes many hormones into the bloodstream, which are capable of controlling the functioning of other organs and glands. During the puberty stage, this gland secretes LH and FSH gonadotropin hormones that affect male and female gonads in order to activate the production of sex hormones. The adrenal glands secrete cortisol, which is known as the stress hormone. These glands also produce adrenaline which regulates visceral functions such as, for example, respiration. The parathyroid hormone-like hormone (PTHLH) is generated by epithelial cells and plays important roles in fetal and adult tissues, (i.e., cell proliferation, differentiation and morphogenesis). The thyroid gland regulates body temperature, while parathyroid glands control the calcium level in the blood by secreting the parathyroid hormone (PTH). Steroid hormones are lipidic hormones known to bind steroid receptors and they can easily cross the cell membrane, while non-steroid hormones cannot diffuse across the cell membranes and they are secreted by the endocrine system.
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.

QUESTION 31 Chipmunk mitochondrial DNA was fingerprinted using the single primer amplified region technique (SPAR) and the PCR reaction. One four base primer was used. If the DNA from chipmunk mitochondria is a circlular piece of DNA about 16000 base pairs long, how many fragments should be produced by this technique
Answer:
It depends on the size of the amplified DNA fragments (for example for SPAR markers consisting of 200 bp in length >> 1600 / 200 = 8)
Explanation:
The PCR based single primer amplification reaction (SPAR) methods are tools for detecting genetic diversity by using DNA markers such as Simple Sequence Repeats (ISSRs), Minisatellite DNA regions (DAMDs) and Random Amplified Polymorphic DNAs (RAPDs), which can be used alone or combined with each other. In the last years, the SPAR methods have gained attention in the scientific community because they are cost-effective and highly effective for the detection of both intraspecific and interspecific genetic variation. In the SPAR methods, the size of the bands will depend on the length of the amplified DNA fragments.

a. is continuous variation that follows a geographic continuum.
b. is variation that falls into discrete categories.
c. was used to describe human variation as early as the Renaissance.
d. describes the pattern of occurrence of trisomy 18.
Answer:
The correct answer is - option A is continuous variation that follows a geographic continuum.
Explanation:
A cline is a slow change in the physical and genetic traits of a population or species across a geographical difference or gradient. If a species present in a very large area, there would be some members live on different environmental condition in comparison to others.
By this gradient members of species show continuous variation that follows a geographic continuum. For, example, In a species of warm-blooded animals have large body size in cooler area than in warmer area.
Thus, the correct answer is - option A is continuous variation that follows a geographic continuum.
