1) Ecology is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of organisms, the interaction among organisms, and the interactions between organisms and their abiotic environment. Ecologists try to understand the inner workings of natural ecosystems and the species they contain.
2) Ecosystems have no particular size. An ecosystem can be as large as a desert or a lake or as small as a tree or a puddle. If you have a terrarium, that is an artificial ecosystem. The water, water temperature, plants, animals, air, light and soil all work together.
3) The biotic factors of an ecosystem include all the populations in a habitat, such as all the species of plants, animals, and fungi, as well as all the micro-organisms. Also recall that the nonliving factors are called abiotic factors. Abiotic factors include temperature, water, soil, and air.
4) For aquatic ecosystems, these factors include light levels, water flow rate, temperature, dissolved oxygen, acidity (pH), salinity and depth.
Hope this helped. ;)
The answer is <span>The respiratory system supplies the oxygen that the cardiovascular system transports to the different cells for the production of energy.
When air enters the lungs (part of the respiratory system), it passes all way to the alveoli, the smallest functional units of the lung. There, oxygen from the air enters the capillaries, the smallest blood vessels, next to the alveoli. Once in the blood stream, the cardiovascular system transports oxygen to different cells where it is used for the energy production.</span>
Answer:
The bacteria were growing through fermentation process.
Explanation:
Cyanide have the ability to prevent the growth of microbes, and that is why it usually added to paints that want to be applied to places where the growth of microbes will be harmful to people.
The ships' hull where ballast water is been stored needed to be painted with cyanide to prevent the growth of microbes.
It should be noted that, anaerobic microbes have the ability to reduce cyanide compound through a process known as submerged fermentation.
In the case of ships' hull, the bacteria growing on the hull were anaerobic, which means, they carried out their activities in the absence of oxygen.
Ozone, which is also known as trioxygen, is a chemically bonded compound, and contains three oxygens.
