A pyramid of biomass shows the mass of all of the organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem. Look at the biomass pyramid to the right. Based on the data shown, how many kilograms of plant matter would be needed to support the other trophic levels in this ecosystem?
Answer:
90,000
Explanation:
A pyramid of biomass shows the mass of all of the organisms in each trophic level of an ecosystem. From the biomass pyramid to the upright ladder, the kilograms of plant matter needed to support the other tropic levels in this ecosystem is 9000 kg.
In ecology, the biomass pyramid is a graphical representation designed to show the quantity of biological or organic matter observed in an organism.
The ecological biomass pyramid starts with the primary producer which is usually a green plant.
Followed by the herbivores(animals that feed) on the green plants. They are the primary consumers. The carnivores are secondary consumers that feed on herbivores. Then the peak of the pyramid is the tertiary consumers which are called omnivores. (i.e animals that feed on plants & animals).The amount of mass consumed by the primary consumer is equivalent to the total amount of mass in the primary consumer. However, as we go up the pyramid, the mass depreciates.
Therefore, we can conclude that the amount of kilograms of plant matter needed to support the other tropic levels in this ecosystem is 9000 kg.

Which of the following metabolic pathways does NOT directly produce lots of ATP (also called anaerobic cycle)?
A. Glycolysis
B. Krebs cycle
C. Citric acid cycle
D. Electron transport chain
Answer:
A. Glycolysis
Explanation:
Glycolysis is the first stage of cellular respiration, which occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Glycolysis does not require oxygen to occur, hence, it is carried out by both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organism.
Glycolysis, among the other stages of cellular respiration, produces the least ATP (2). Hence, Glycolysis is the metabolic pathway that does NOT directly produce lots of ATP.

where they execute important functions. The polypeptide chain of these proteins must cross the lipid bilayer. This presents a problem because the peptide bond is polar in nature. It turns out that in virtually all cases where an amino acid chain crosses a lipid bilayer it does so as an alpha helix. Suggest a reason why this is the case. (5 points)
Answer:
In this case, it is likely that the polypeptide chain assumed an alpha helix configuration because the lipid bilayer did not have beta-barrel proteins.
Explanation:
A polypeptide chain is naturally polar, however, a lipid bilayer is naturally non-polar. This makes it difficult and even prevents the polypeptide chain from crossing a lipid bilayer, since the composition of these two elements does not allow them to mix. In that case, the polypeptide chain has two options to take to successfully cross the lipid bilayer.
The first option that the polypeptide chain has is to allow the creation of twisted beta sheets in the shape of a closed barrel in its structure. This only works if the lipid bilayer has beta barrel proteins in its composition to act as a transport channel for the polypeptide chain. However, few lipid layers have this protein.
Most likely, the polypeptide chain assumes an alpha helix conformation to cross lipid bilayers that do not have beta-barrel proteins. By assuming the beta conformation, the polypeptide chain reinforces the hydrogen bonds present in its composition, allowing it to cross the lipid bilayer without having its conformation and structure disassembled.

Group the following into the appropriate range of measurement.
a. atomic
b. ultramicroscopic
c. microscopic
d. macroscopic
Match each of the options above to the items below.
1. roundworm, algae
2. protozoan, rickettsia
3. herpesvirus, DNA
4. hydrogen atom, glucose molecule
Answer:
Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Explanation:
1) Hydrogen atom & glucose molecule --- atomic.
The atomic size level, which interacts with atoms as well as small molecules, is much lower than the ultramicroscopic range.
2) Herpesvirus, DNA --- ultramicroscopic.
Ultramicroscopic particles are very tiny structures that cannot be seen using a conventional optical microscope, necessitating the use of an electron microscope. Viruses and DNA falls into this group since they are much smaller than tiny species like bacteria.
3) Protozoan, Rickettsia - microscopic.
Microscopic species are much smaller than macroscopic organisms because they cannot be observed by the naked human eye and must be viewed through a microscope. The size range for microscopic particles is [tex]( 10^3 \ \ to \ \ 10^{10})[/tex], which contains protozoans and Rickettsia (a gram-negative, non-motile bacteria genus).
4) Roundworm and algae --- macroscopic
Naked eyes can see macroscopic organisms; for example, several types of circular worms and algae can be seen by them.

what is not a trend evident to plant evolution
Answer:
b. spores of two types to spores of one type
Explanation:
Spores of two types to spores of one type is not the trend to plant evolution because first the spores of one type is present in living organisms but with the passage of time evolution occurs that will leads to formation of spores of two types happen in living organisms. There are types of spores present in plants such as microspores, which produces male gametophytes, and megaspores, which produce female gametophytes while on the other hand, spores of one type is present in plants having asexual reproduction.

C. Animals participate in cellular respiration because it results in the same products as photosynthesis.
D. Animals participate in cellular respiration, while plants do not.
Answer:
A. Animals participate in cellular respiration, while plants participate in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
Explanation:
The option (A) is correct. Animals participate in cellular respiration, while plants participate in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis.
What do you mean by cellular respiration?Cellular respiration is the process by which biological fuels are oxidized in the presence of an inorganic electron acceptor such as oxygen to produce large amounts of energy, to drive the bulk production of ATP.
Cellular respiration is a series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP, which may be used as energy to power many reactions throughout the body. There are three main steps of cellular respiration: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
During cellular respiration, a glucose molecule is gradually broken down into carbon dioxide and water. Along the way, some ATP is produced directly in the reactions that transform glucose. Much more ATP, however, is produced later in a process called oxidative phosphorylation.

Even though chestnuts can regrow from their roots, this does not usually happen because
there are few root systems left in the forest.
chestnuts grow in regions prone to fires.
most forestry professionals no longer want to grow chestnuts.
new growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.
Answer: New growth is stricken with the blight before it has the chance to mature.
Explanation:
American Chestnut trees can indeed regrow from their roots but due to the devastating effect of the chestnut blight, they have been unable to do this since the blight spread across the country.
The blight was introduced when Chinese chestnut trees were imported into the U.S. in the 20th century. It killed off most of the chestnut trees in the U.S. and attacks the tree again when it grows to around 6 meters bringing it down to its roots. This is why the American Chestnut is considered endangered.

A 66-year-old man has difficulty controlling voluntary movements. He can clearly state what he intends to do, describe how he would do it, and initiate or stop the movement. However, he has poor coordination and often misses his target. If his difficulty arises from a defect in one particular area of the central nervous system, which area is most likely to be involved
Answer:
Cerebrum
Explanation:
Cerebrum is the part of central nervous system that is responsible for the voluntary movement. If there is poor coordination between cerebrum and the muscles so the person has difficulty in controlling his voluntary actions or movement. Somatic nervous system is a part of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the voluntary movements of body parts through the use of skeletal muscles so we can say that both cerebrum and somatic nervous system is responsible for voluntary actions.
