dolphi86 [110]
<span>the correct answer is B. the information that decides the characteristics of all organisms are contained in their nucleic acids. Nucleics acids are DNA and RNA. DNA have genes that code for proteins which are responsible for the structural and functional characteristics of organisms. DNA is transcribed into RNA and RNA is translated to proteins. Therefore information that is in these nucleic acids determines all the characteristics of organisms</span>

Use the model here to describe the transfer of matter and flow of energy from one trophic level to another within an ecosystem.
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A)Biomass is transferred from one organism to another when one organism consumes another organism. When a predator organism eats the prey organism, the molecules on the food are broken down by the digestive system into smaller molecules. These smaller molecules like lipids, amino acids, glucose are used by the organism for various purposes.

B) Energy that is not transferred from one organism to another is either used up by the organism for various purposes. Most of the energy is lost into the environment in the form of heat.

c) There are typically fewer organisms at the top of the trophic levels because energy keeps on declining at each trophic levels so the number of consumers which it can satisfy also decreases.

d) Only 10% of the energy passes from one trophic level to another. The rest is usually lost in the form of heat. For example, if there was 100%  energy in the producers, only 10% would pass to the primary consumers. The secondary consumers will receive 1%.

An undersupply of the major inhibitory neurotransmitter known as ________ is linked to seizures.
bazaltina [42]

Answer:

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)

Explanation:

Epileptic seizures are induced by a preponderance of electrical activity within the network of neurons in the brain. Synapsis is the meeting point between the axon of one neuron and the dendrite of another neuron. Electrical signals don't cross through the synapsis, instead, they are conveyed in a chemical form by neurotransmitters.

The neurotransmitters convey messages across the synapsis in a chemical form until they find to the receptor of the dendrite of the receiving neuron. Neurotransmitters can either be excitatory or inhibitory in function i.e. the receiving neuron can either be stimulated to action or inhibited from action. The main excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters in the brain are Glutamate and Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) respectively.

There must be a balance between excitation and inhibition of neurons, in order to ascertain the optimal functioning of the brain. Too much Glutamate or too little of GABA can make neurons hyperexcitable and hyperexcitability of neurons makes the brain susceptible to seizures.
