Answer: 5 calories

Explanation: The producers are self feeders that make their own food by the help of the process known as photosynthesis.

The energy from the producers are transferred from producers to consumers when they eat them. All the energy from the producers are not transferred to consumers.

So, only 10% of the energy are transferred from the previous level to another level. If the rabbit is having 500 calories then the snake will have 50 calories( 10% of 500)

Hawk will get 5 calories which is 10% of 50 calories.

10% of energy is lost (to heat), for each level of the food chain. So the rabbit would have 500, the snake would have 50 and the hawk would have 5.

"which of these illustrates the secondary structure of a protein?"
Nookie1986 [14]
A protein's secondary structure is characterized by beta pleated sheets and alpha helices; the primary structure of a protein is the order of amino acids in a polypeptide, which is coded for the DNA of a gene. the secondary structure itself results from Hydrogen bonds, where the electronegative nitrogen and O2 atoms impart the hydrogen atoms with a semi positive charge.

Primary spermatocytes are diploid (2n) cells with all of the organelles typically found in eukaryotic animal cells. Spermatogene
Aneli [31]

Answer: a. Genetic recombination (crossing over)

b. Can also be explained in terms of crossing over

c. Non disjunction of homologous chromosomes in meiosis 1

Explanation:

The process that allows for the transfer of both the paternal and maternal materials to is the crossing over process that takes at meiosis 1 changing them to secondary spermatocytes. While they are still primary spermatocytes, they are still diploid cells having both the maternal and paternal chromosomes. But since the spermatozoon is an haploid cell, it is able to retail some of both parents chromosome by the crossing over event which takes place between homologous paternal and maternal chromosomes allowing them to exchange materials. Thus the chromosomal contents of the primary spermatocyte differs from that of the spermatozoon.

C. This can occur as a result of the one of the homologous chromosome pair refusing to separate at meiosis 1 with one gamete containing 4 chromosomes/8 sister chromatids and the second having 2 chromosomes/4 sister chromatids.

Indicate weather the label identifies an adaptive or innate form of defense
suter [353]

Innate: keratinized epithelium

stratified squamous epithelium hypodermal areolar connective tissue antigen presenting cells major histocompatibility complexes complement (antibody -dependent pathway )

Innate or non-specific response is the first defense against invaders. Components of this response include physical (e.g. skin . mucosa) and chemical barriers against pathogens and cells such as Natural Killer cells, macrophages, neutrophils, dendritic cells, mast cells, basophils, eosinophils. Innate response reacts immediately.

Adaptive: immunoglobulin plasma cells agglutinin

helper t cells memory t cells cytotoxic t cells cd4+cells

t lymphocytes

Adaptive immune response or specific response is specific to the pathogen presented and mediated by lymphocytes, B and T cells. Adaptive immune response creates immunological memory after the first, initial l response to a specific pathogen which leads to enhanced response.

Magnetic reversal is evident when the <span>change in the Earth's magnetic </span><span>field results in the magnetic </span><span>north being aligned with the geographic south, and the magnetic </span><span>south being aligned with the geographic north.

Magnetic reversals can occur in less than 100 years. It led to extinction events during the pre-historic times. Because the magnetic field is rapidly weakening, magnetic reversal may cause biblical floods.
