If a nonnative species is introduced into an ecosystem . how might the biodiversity or health of the ecosystem change? why

1 answer:

8 0

It would be negatively impacted because a foreign species would start to take over a native species’ role in the ecosystem and may also directly (if it’s a predator) or indirectly lead to the decline of other species. So as some species may start to decline and eventually become extinct in that particular ecosystem, the biodiversity level would lessen cuz there’s less types of plants and animals. Less plants and animals could lead to the ecosystem to eventually collapse and it would be literally a mass extinction.

A 20-pound object is dropped from a 50-foot bridge onto the ground below it. A 50-pound object is dropped from a 100-foot cliff

ira [324]

The 50 pound object will reach the ground first.

Explanation:

Using the second equation of motion, we can derive the time taken for each of the object to reach the ground. As the object is thrown from the top of the bridge or cliff, acceleration due to gravity will be acting on them.

So, $s = ut+\frac{1}{2} at^{2}$

The value of s for the object thrown from 50 foot bridge is given as 50 ft. The initial velocity of the object will be zero. The acceleration can be written as the ratio of mass to gravitational force.

Then, $s = (0) t +\frac{1}{2}*\frac{m}{F}*t^{2}$

$50 = \frac{20}{2F} t^{2} \\\\t^{2} = \frac{100F}{20}$

$t = \sqrt{5F}$

Then, consider the time taken for the 50 pound object to reach the bottom of 100 ft cliff as t₁ and the displacement in this case is 100 ft.

Then, $100 = (0)t +\frac{1}{2}*\frac{50}{F}*t_{1}^{2} \\\\t_{1}^{2} =\frac{200F}{50}$

$t_{1} = 2 \sqrt{F}$

Since, the gravitational force acting on both the objects will be same, the ratio of time taken is

$\frac{t }{t_{1} }=\frac{\sqrt{5F} }{2\sqrt{F}} = \frac{\sqrt{5} }{2}$

So, the time taken for the 20 pound object to reach the ground of 50 ft bridge is √5 s =2.236 s and the time taken for the 50 pound object to reach the ground of 100 ft cliff is 2 s.

Thus, the 50 pound object will reach the ground first.

Which fat-soluble vitamin appears to operate as a coenzyme that modifies proteins to bind with calcium?

Vitek1552 [10]

Answer: Vitamin K

<span>Coenzymes are small, nonproteinaceous molecules that work with an enzyme to initiate the function of an enzyme. They cannot function on their own and require the presence of an enzyme. An example is vitamin K, a fat-soluble vitamin that modifies protein to bind with calcium. </span>
