Answer:
<u>D. There is less available energy in the fourth trophic level because of the loss of energy through metabolism in each of the lower trophic levels.</u>
Explanation:
Each successive trophic level contains about ten percent of the available energy from the previous trophic level. The other ninety percent is lost as heat to the atmosphere through metabolism by the organisms in that level. Therefore, there will be much less energy in the fourth trophic level.
Answer:
<em>B: The drug is a small charged molecule</em>
Explanation:
Substances can passively diffuse in and out of the cell via the cell membrane in two ways;
- Simple diffusion
- Facilitated diffusion
The cell membrane allows small molecules or ions to freely diffuse across it in response to concentration difference between the inner and outer parts of the cell membrane. This is known as simple diffusion.
In facilitated diffusion, special proteins in the cell membrane, known as channel/carrier proteins binds with molecules and facilitates their diffusion across the cell membrane by carrying them through special channels in the membrane.
Hence, to support the alternative hypothesis that the new drug will exhibit simple diffusion across the plasma membrane, the drug should be a small charged molecule.
<em>Correct option: B</em>
The vascular system of the plants are responsible for transporting water and needed nutrients for the plant to survive. Hence, when this is disturb certain transpirational pull is also disrupted, rendering the plant unable to collect water effectively. Thank you for your question.
