An oak tree gets nourishment from the sun and produces acorns. squirrels eat the acorns. what has happened to the matter consumed by the squirrel? a. the matter is converted to energy and carbon molecules. b. the matter is completely eliminated by the squirrel as waste. c. the matter is completely consumed by the squirrel. d. the matter is converted to energy only. reset submit

A. The matter is converted to energy and carbon molecules.

this is the correct answer

Because the squirrel would not consume all of it he would consume it and then it will get the energy and the energy will help the animal grow. and the carbon molecules will feed the plants so it is like a win win

ans.

dna fingerprinting is defined as a process that determines the dna characteristics of an individual. these dna characteristics are unique among individuals as their fingerprints, so it is known as dna fingerprinting.

steps of dna fingerprinting includes extraction of dna from sample, amplification of dna, restriction digestion of amplified dna, and then analysis of dna by gel electrophoresis, respectively.

thus, the next step performed by the scientist is 'to cut the amplified dna (obtained by polymerase chain reaction) by restriction enzymes that cleave the dna into fragments and their analysis.'
