Biodiversity has a fundamental value to humans because we are so dependent on it for our cultural, economic, and environmental well-being. Some argue that it is our moral responsibility to preserve the Earth’s incredible diversity for the next generation. Others simply like knowing that nature’s great diversity exists and that the opportunity to utilize it later, if need be, is secure. Scientists value biodiversity because it offers clues about natural systems that we are still trying to understand. Arguably, the greatest value to humans, however, comes from the ?ecosystem services? it provides.
Biodiversity forms the backbone of viable ecosystems on which we depend on for basic necessities, security, and health. By breaking down plant and animal matter, for example, insects and other invertebrates make nutrients available to plants and are integral to the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Other species pollinate crops, an essential service for farmers. Healthy ecosystems can mitigate or prevent flooding, erosion, and other natural disasters. These ecosystem services also play a hand in the functioning of our climate and in both air and water quality.
The correct answer is Helium Nucleus. Hope this helps.
Answer: A. Simple structure, molecule, single bonds, two elements
The reaction of Butanoic acid and excess ethanol occurs as shown in the equation;
CH₃CH₂CH₂COOH + CH₃CH₂OH = CH₃CH₂CH₂COOCH₂CH₃ + H₂O
1 mole of butanoic acid contains 88g/mol
Thus, 7.35 g of butanoic acid contains;
= 7.35/88
= 0.0835 moles
The mole ratio of butanoic acid and ethylbutyrate is 1:1
Thus moles of ethyl butyrate produced is 0.0835 moles
But 1 mole of ethyl butyrate contains 116 g/mol
Hence, the mass of ethyl butyrate will be
=0.0835 × 116
=9.686 g
Parthenolide is a sesquiterpene lactone which occurs naturally in the plant feverfew--highly concentrated in the flowers and fruit.
