The answer would be (option B) - When an object falls, its gravitational potential energy is changed to kinetic energy. You can use this relationship to calculate the speed of the object’s descent. Gravitational potential energy for a mass m at height h near the surface of the Earth is mgh more than the potential energy would be at height 0. (It’s up to you where you choose height 0.)

The answer is 
B) a flowerpot falling from a balcony.
This is the answer because potential energy is basically when something is standing still. Kinetic energy is the opposite, its when something is moving. So the flowerpot was still but something knocked it over and the potential energy was turned into kinetic energy. In option A, the kinetic energy is being turned into potential energy singe the car stopped moving. In option C, the cow is just storing potential energy and it is not being transformed into kinetic energy since the cow is not moving. Option D is not the answer because once again, this says the bike is slowing down, which means that the kinetic energy is decreasing and being turned into potential energy.

What is the difference between a photoheterotroph and chemoheterotroph, and what are examples of these?
RoseWind [281]
<span>When classifying organisms like this, you are looking for two main descriptors of their lifestyle: how they get their energy and how they get their carbon. A phototroph is an organism that acquires its energy through harvesting photons. A chemotroph harvests energy from chemical bonds.

The term heterotroph is used to describe organisms that acquire carbon from organic substances (namely from other organisms). An autotroph is an organism that has the ability to fix atmospheric carbon CO2 into an organic form.

When you combine these terms, you get a word that describes how an organism harvests energy and carbon. So, a chemoheterotroph is an organism that acquires energy from chemical bonds, and uses acquires organic carbon from an external source (usually, in this case, the energy and carbon come from the same source, e.g., glucose). A photoheterotroph is an organism that gains energy from photons but gains carbon from an external organic source.

Most bacteria, fungi, and animals can easily be described as a chemoheterotroph. A specific bacteria would be Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Photoheterotrophs would only be found in the prokaryote domains. An example would be Heliobacter. Just to note, there are very few genera of photoheterotrophs. Remember, they gain most of their energy from light (photons), and their carbon from an external organic source (i.e., they do not fix carbon).

</span><span>Basically, photoheterotrophs get energy from light and chemoheterotrophs get energy from breaking chemical bonds.

Ecologists are interested in quantifying different kinds of biodiversity. In below study outlined here, which kind of biodiversi
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

d. Species diversity

Explanation:

The species diversity can be measured by:

  • Species richness: Refers to the number of species are inhabiting a defined area.
  • Species abundance: Describe the distribution of the species abundance.

Species richness is the number of species present in a sample, within a community, habitat or microhabitat, ecosystem, landscape, region or any well-defined spatial unit. It is a metric for measuring biodiversity which simplicity and easy interpretation make it a standard metric.  It is the simplest and straightforward measure of biodiversity. It is just a count of species, with no need for abundance data. In some cases, this can be the cause of criticism, as it ignores information about the species-abundance distribution.
