how does eating contribute to the flow of energy in a ecosystem

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Eating contributes to the flow of an ecosystem because in a food web/chain, there is always a consumer. Starting from the very bottom of the food web/chain, all organisms eat to pass on the energy to the next cosumer. For example, a grasshopper eats some grass. That grass is made into energy. Then, a possum eats that grasshopper, the energy from the grasshopper converting to the energy of the possum. Then a giant snake comes along and eats the possum. The energy keeps flowing up and up the food chain as animals consume(and be consumed).

Answer 2
The food chain begins with producers, organisms such as green plants, that can make their own food. Through photosynthesis, producers convert solar energy to chemical energy, energy in the chemical bonds of the food. Plants are eaten by consumers, which are organisms that cannot make their own food.

-Carbon bonds in food are broken, which releases energy.
-Weathering breaks down rocks into chemicals like sulfur and nitrogen. -Consumers make food using light energy from the sun.
-Energy is absorbed as heat when plants make food

Boiling water- When water boils, the heat passes from the burner into the pot, heating the water at the bottom. This hot water rises and cooler water moves down to replace it, causing a circular motion. ... ice melting - Ice melts because heat moves to the ice from the air.

A. particles in an object have less energy
B. particles in an object move faster
C. a gas contracts
D. particles vibrate slowly

Answers

Answer:

B. particles in an object move faster

Explanation:

At higher temperatures, particles in an object moves faster.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness of a body.

At higher temperature, the substance is very hot. Temperature is related to the heat energy content of a bodyAs the temperature increases, the average kinetic energy of the particles of system increases more and more. This is in compliance with the kinetic molecular theory of matter. Therefore, at higher temperatures, particles in an object move faster.

0.272 mol AgOH

Explanation:

Figure out the amount of AgOH in mass, and to find the amount of moles–you just divide the given amount (34g) by the molar mass of AgOH (125g) to figure out the amount of moles. 34/125 = 0.272 mol AgOH.

Simple conversions
You bought your pig and it weighed 82 pounds. By fair your goal weight is 267 pounds. Your pig will gain 1 pound for every 3 pounds of feed. How much feed will you need to get your pig to it's goal weight? (show your work) (5) Feed costs $21.37 per 50 pound bag. How much will your feed cost be, to get your pig to it's goal weight? (5) MUST SHOW ALL WORK.

Answers

Number of feed = 555 pounds

Feed cost = $237.21

Further explanation

The main composition of algebraic expressions are:  

• 1. phrases/terms  

• 2. variable  

• 3. constants  

• 4. arithmetic operations  

• 5. coefficients  

• 6. exponent  

Initial weight = 82 pounds

Goal weight = 267 pounds

The difference in weight that must be achieved :

[tex]\tt 267-82=185~pounds[/tex]

The pig will gain 1 pound for every 3 pounds of feed⇒ 1 pound weight=3 pounds of feed

The amount of feed must be given:

[tex]\tt 185~pounds~weight\times 3~pounds~feed=555~pounds~of~feed[/tex]

Feed costs $21.37 per 50 pound bag, so for 555 pounds :

[tex]\tt (555~pounds\div 50)\times \$21.37=\$237.21[/tex]

What is Gay Lussac's law?

Gay-Lussac's law can be described as when the volume of the gas remains constant then the pressure of a gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature of the gas.

The mathematical equation of Gay Lussca's law is written as follows:

P/T = k

It can be represented as the pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature.

P ∝ T               (where 'V' volume of gas is constant)

or

[tex]\frac{P_1}{T_1} =\frac{P_2}{T_2}[/tex]

Where P₁ and T₁ are the initial temperature and pressure while P₂ and T₂ are the final pressure and temperature of the gas.

The sample of gas has a fixed volume of gas and on increasing the temperature the gas molecules acquire more and more kinetic energy. So the pressure of the gas will also increase.

Therefore, there will be a direct relationship between temperature and pressure of gas.

Many plants in rainforests have leaf tips that come to a point, so precipitation drains off the leaf. This helps to keep the plant safe from harmful germs. Based on this info, what resource is prevalent in a rainforest?

Answers

Answer:

rainfall/water

Explanation:

The possession of drip tips by the leaves of plants in the rainforest is a form of adaptation against high rainfall. Without the drip tips on leaves, water will persist on the surface of leaves, and in conjunction with the warm climate, promotes the growth of pathogens such as fungi and bacteria.

Hence, the possession of drip tips on leaves is an indication of the prevalence of water in the rainforest region.

How many valence electrons does an atom of oxygen have and what noble 1 point

1)8 electrons and neon
2)2 electrons and fluorine
3)6 electrons and neon

Answers

3)6 electrons and neon

Further explanation  

In an atom there are levels of energy in the shell and sub shell  

This energy level is expressed in the form of electron configurations.  

The electron configuration Oxygen (atomic number = 8) :

1s²2s²2p⁴

Oxygen will try to achieve stability (according to the octet rule) by binding 2 electrons so that the 2p orbits are filled with 6 electrons, so that the configuration is stable like the noble gases Neon

Which statement describes the water gas particles in the air above the cup compared with the water liquid
particles in the cup?
The partides move faster and are closer together
The particles move faster and are far apart
The particles move slower and are closer together
The particles move slower and are far apart

Answers

Answer:

The particles move faster and are far apart

Explanation:

A substance may exist in three states of matter; solid, liquid and gas.

In the solid state, there is very strong intermolecular forces between the particles of the substance. They can only vibrate or rotate about their mean positions but can not translate.

In the liquid state, the particles of the substance have a greater degree of freedom than in the solid. The magnitude of intermolecular forces is lower than in solids, the molecules can move at low speeds.

In a gas, the molecules are separated from each other with negligible intermolecular interaction hence they move at very high speed.

Therefore, for the water gas particles in the air above the cup; the particles move faster and are far apart.

What is the balanced equation for KOH+CO2—>K2CO3+H2O

Answers

The balanced equation :

2KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

Further explanation

Equalization of chemical reaction equations can be done using variables. Steps in equalizing the reaction equation:

1. gives a coefficient on substances involved in the equation of reaction such as a, b, or c etc.

2. make an equation based on the similarity of the number of atoms where the number of atoms = coefficient × index between reactant and product

3. Select the coefficient of the substance with the most complex chemical formula equal to 1

Reaction

KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O

give coeffiecient

aKOH+bCO₂⇒K₂CO₃+cH₂O

make equation

K, left=a, right=2⇒a=2

H, left=a, right=2c⇒a=2c⇒2=2c⇒c=1

O, left=a+2b, right=3+c⇒a+2b=3+c⇒2+2b=3+1⇒2b=2⇒b=1

the equation becomes :

2KOH+CO₂⇒K₂CO₃+H₂O
