Approximately 10% of the energy absorbed by one
trophic level is transferred to the next successive
level. The same number of calories are available at
the primary producer level of each of these food
chains.
Food Chain 1:
phytoplankton → zooplankton → smelt → trout → humans
Food Chain 2: phytoplankton → smelt → humans
How much energy is available to humans in
Food Chain 2 as compared to the energy available
to humans in Food Chain 1 ?
(look at the difference in trophic levels)

A )100 times less energy

B) 10 times more energy

C) 100 times more energy

D) 10 times less energy

6. in the dna double helix, how are the two strands of dna held together? a. chemical bonds between base pairs hold the two strands of dna together. b. hydrogen bonds between the base pairs hold the two strands of dna together. c. hydrogen bonds between sugar groups and phosphate groups hold the two strands of dna together. d. chemical bonds between sugar groups and phosphate groups hold the two strands of dna together.

In 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? in 1959, doctors began using the powerful antibiotic methicillin to treat infections of staphylococcus aureus, but within two years, methicillin-resistant strains of s. aureus (mrsa) appeared. how did the resistant strains of s. aureus emerge? staphylococcus aureus bacteria that were able to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, some bacteria began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin. these bacteria survived the methicillin treatments and reproduced at higher rates than did other individuals. over time, these resistant individuals became increasingly common. in response to treatment of staphylococcus aureus infections with methicillin, bacterial populations gradually began to synthesize cell walls using a protein that was not affected by methicillin.

Long term exposure to waves can cause sunburns and skin cancer.
