As the sun shines on Earth, plants use its energy to complete the process of photosynthesis. Energy is transformed during the process into chemical energy in the form of sugars, such as carbohydrates. However, the energy available at top consumers is much less than that produced by autotrophs. Why is this so? O Most of the energy is used for life's processes. O Primary and secondary consumers compete for food. O There are more producers than consumers in the food web. There are fewer top consumers than producers in a food web.

Autotrophs and heterotrophs are similar in that Group of answer choices both turn inorganic molecules like CO2 into organic molecules. they both convert sunlight to energy for cellular work. both do cellular respiration. Autotrophs are also known as Group of answer choices there isn't enough information in the question to answer. consumers. producers. Which of the following stages of cellular respiration have NADH, ATP and pyruvic acid as its end products? Group of answer choices citric acid cycle electron transport chain glycolysis In the citric acid cycle of cellular respiration, Group of answer choices most of the ATP of cellular respiration is produced. glucose is added directly to an acceptor molecule in the citric acid cycle. NADH and FADH2 give up their electrons and hydrogen into the cycle, and leave the cycle as NAD+ and FAD. A carbon atom called acetic acid enters the cycle and 2 CO2 molecules leave the cycle.…

A genetically modified corn crop that is resistant to the herbicide glyphosate ("Round-Up") may contribute to conservation agriculture practices because: O The plants would thrive with less water, so they would not need to be irrigated as frequently. O It is not possible for any other organisms, such as weeds, to develop a resistance to glyphosate. O The plants would be resistant to pests, such as the corn borer, so would not need to be treated with pesticides. O All of these answer choices are correct. Because they could be sprayed with glyphosate, the soil would not require tilling to control weeds. Not saved Submit Quiz MacBook Pro
