The correct answer to the question is A) Electrons.

EXPLANATION:

The electrical conductivity of a metal or any substance depends on the free electron concentration of the metals.

Free electrons are those electrons which are present in the conduction band of the metals. These electrons experience less amount of force attraction from the nucleus. Protons and neutrons do not  contribute anything to the current conduction in a metal.These sub atomic particles are bound to the nuclei of atoms.

When we maintain potential difference across the two ends of a conductor, the free electrons are drifted towards the positive terminal of the battery.

Hence, electrical conductivity of a substance is the ability of the electrons to move inside the substance.

More is the conductivity of the substance, the lesser is the resistance to the flow of electrons inside the substance, and vice versa.

Discuss two components that are essential to the functioning of the ecosystem.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

The two components are biotic and abiotic components

Explanation:

The two components essential for the functioning of the ecosystem are:

Biotic Components:

These are the organic components like plants, pathogens, animals, human beings and other living components in the ecosystem that affects other living organisms, influences them and helps in shaping the ecosystem.

they require desired amount of nutrition and energy and energy for proper everyday functioning.

They are further classified as Producers, decomposers and consumers out of which producers prepare their own food by photosynthesis where consumers fulfills their requirement from producers and decomposers depend s on both producers and consumers for chemical breakdown into simpler and reusable forms.

Abiotic Components:

These are the inorganic components of the ecosystem like humidity, temperature, etc.

These are the non living components of the ecosystem which includes physical and chemical constituents of the environment which influences the biotic components and the ecosystem's functioning.

The abiotic components influences certain behaviors in living organisms like reproduction, growth, etc.

These components are synthesized by the process of photosynthesis by utilizing sunlight to convert these into organic compounds by primary producers which are further are the consumption of secondary producers thus increasing the organic content.
