What does a pyramid of net production look like in a real ecosystem, and what are the trophic efficiencies? the pyramid below represents the data collected from h. t. odum's work on the silver springs ecosystem in north-central florida. (note that odum used the units kilocalories [kcal] instead of joules [j].) drag the labels to the pyramid to indicate the trophic efficiency from each trophic level to the next.
a. 12%
b. 5%
c. 17%
d. 0.5%

Plants are used for so many things. in your house alone, you can probably look around you and see where plants have been used. for this project, you will identify various uses of plants in your home. directions make a list of objects, products, and any other items around your house where plants were involved in the production of the item. you should have a list of at least twenty items. then respond to the following questions: note: your list of objects and the answers following should be at least 200 words in length. what if plants no longer existed on earth? how would your life be different?

Mouse liver cells were homogenized and the homogenate subjected to equilibrium density-gradient centrifugation with sucrose gradients. fractions obtained from these gradients were assayed for marker molecules (i.e., molecules that are limited to specific organelles). the results of these assays are shown in the figure. the marker molecules have the following functions: cytochrome oxidase is an enzyme involved in the process by which atp is formed in the complete aerobic degradation of glucose or fatty acids; ribosomal rna forms part of the protein-synthesizing ribosomes; catalase catalyzes decomposition of hydrogen peroxide; acid phosphatase hydrolysis monophosphoric esters at acid ph; cytidylyltransferase is involved in phospholipid biosynthesis; and amino acid permease aids in transport of amino acids across membranes. a) name the marker molecule and give the number of the fraction that is most enriched for each of the following cell components: lysosomes; peroxisomes; mitochondria; plasma membrane; rough endoplasmic reticulum; smooth endoplasmic reticulum.

Drag the tiles to the boxes to form correct pairs. match the causes with their effects cause: tectonic plates at transform boundaries experience friction. cause: tectonic plates at transform boundaries experience friction. cause: earth is covered by a crust that runs miles deep.
