IRISSAK [1]3 years ago

Answer: a. dead organisms from the marine food web.

c. liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms.

Upwelling is a wind driven motion of lower bottom nutrient rich and warmer water on the surface of the water body. This wind driven motion facilitates the movement of nutrients available for growth of primary producers like phytoplanktons growing on the surface of water body. The dead organisms from the marine food web get decomposed and the organic matter obtain after decomposition is a rich source of phosphorous. This phosphorous gets transferred to the upper layers of the water body by upwelling.  In aquatic organisms ATP hydrolysis occurs which is a catabolic process that uses water to split the bonds present in the ATP molecule and hence, releases energy for functions performed by them along with a release in phosphate atom. This phosphate gets mixed with the water. Therefore, PO32 come from dead organisms from the marine food web and liberation through ATP hydrolysis in living organisms that circulates due to upwelling.

Which of the following objects will exert the greatest gravitational force on a box, if the distance between them stays the same
Mumz [18]

Answer:

D). 8 kg mass

Explanation:

Acceleration of Falling Objects

Heavier things have a greater gravitational force AND heavier things have a lower acceleration. It turns out that these two effects exactly cancel to make falling objects have the same acceleration regardless of mass.

The greater an object's mass, the greater its gravitational force. The earth has a strong attracting force for objects with smaller mass (including the moon), and the sun has an attracting force on the earth and other planets in our solar system. ... The stronger the pull of gravity on an object, the greater its weight.

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Stored water - gravitational energy

Water fall - kinetic energy

Turbine - kinetic energy

Powerlines - electric energy

Explanation:

Dams are used to store or hold water for hydroelectric power plants. This stored water which has gravitational energy is a form of potential energy.

When the water is left to fall and run fast through the turbine, the gravitational energy is transformed into kinetic energy which makes the turbine to spin.

As the turbine spins, kinetic energy that is produced also powers the shaft of the engine in the electric generator, which produces electricuty.

Kinetic energy is transformed to electric energy and transmitted along powerlines.

*See attachment below for labelled energy that is being transformed at several points.

Minchanka [31]

The travel to the galciers is something one can never forget. The aura of the place along with the beauty that one gets to notice is so enriching to entice one to stay there forever. The glaciers are one of the many natural wonders our world has to offer. Formed because of the accumulation of the snow year after year, these glaciers are present in many sizes. Besides, the movement of the glaciers, such as the glacial erosion and deposition leads to the formation of many other attractive features, such as the corries, pyramidal peaks, truncated spurs, and hanging valleys. You must definitely visit these places to give your soul this exciting experience.
