Cadaver Decomposition Island

-  When a body is buried directly in the soil, then it is subject to decomposition by insects and microorganisms. 

<span>- </span>During this process, a self-digestion of the cells occurs as well as anaerobic decomposition of animal proteins resulting in a release of various chemical components.

<span>- </span>This nutrient-rich fluid is trapped in the soil matrix for a long period of time resulting in the formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island

<span>- The formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island is associated with increased microbial biomass and activity.</span>

Answer:

1. Nutrientes:

- alimento  

- oxígeno (O2)

2. Productos de la nutrición animal:

- residuos orgánicos  

- dióxido de carbono (CO2)

Explanation:

Los alimentos son sustancias químicas que los animales ingieren a fin de que el organismo transforme dichos compuestos en nutrientes los cuales son requieridos para la generación, el crecimiento y la reconstrucción de células y tejidos.

El oxígeno (O2) es un nutriente escencial para la vida el cual se absorbe mediante el proceso de respiración. Este proceso posibilita la absorción de otros nutrientes obtenidos a través de la alimentación.

Los residuos orgánicos representan productos de la nutrición animal los cuales se descomponen naturalmente para formar parte de la materia orgánica. En animales, los desechos órganicos son eliminados a través de los excrementos o en la orina.  

El dióxido de Carbono (CO2) es un producto de la respiración. En animales, la respiración celular consume oxígeno y compuestos orgánicos con el objetivo de producir energía en forma de ATP. Como concecuencia del proceso de respiración, los animales liberan CO2 al medio ambiente.

Answer:

\boxed{\sf A. \ 51 \ mL}

Explanation:

Amount of water displaced by the sphere will be equal to the volume of complete sphere.

As the sphere completely sinks to the bottom of the cup.

We have been given;

Diameter of sphere (d) = 4.6 cm

So,

\sf Radius \:  of \:  sphere  \: (r) =  \frac{Diameter \:  of \:  sphere \: (d)}{2}  \\  \sf =  \frac{4.6}{2}  \\ \sf  = 2.3 \: cm

Volume of sphere (V):

\boxed{ \bold{V =  \frac{4}{3} \pi {r}^{3} }}

By substituting value of r we get:

\sf \implies V =  \frac{4}{3}  \times \pi \times  {(2.3)}^{3}  \\  \\  \sf \implies V =  \frac{4}{3}  \times 3.14 \times 12.167 \\  \\ \sf \implies V =    \frac{152.81752}{3} \\  \\   \sf \implies V =  50.94 \:  {cm}^{3}  \\  \\   \sf \implies V  \approx 51 \:  {cm}^{ 3}

1 cm³ = 1 mL

\therefore

V = 51 mL

So,

Water displaced by the sphere = 51 mL
