In an ecosystem, the only true producers are autotrophic organisms like plants and bacteria. These organisms produce energy by converting the energy from the sun into simple sugars.
All of the other organisms in the food chain, like the fruit fly, are simply consuming the energy produced by the plants/bacteria and not actually making/producing energy from a new source.
Enzymes in our body increases the speed of chemical digestion.
Answer: They can be separated by physical processes.
Explanation: A mixture is made up of two or more substances that are not chemically combined and can be easily separated into its constituents by physical methods.

Answer:
[OH⁻] = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.
Explanation:
Assuming the source of the carbonate ion is from a Group IA carbonate salt (e.g.; Na₂CO₃), then 0.115M Na₂CO₃(aq) => 2(0.115)M Na⁺(aq) + 0.115M CO₃²⁻(aq). The 0.115M CO₃²⁻ then reacts with water to give 0.115M carbonic acid; H₂CO₃(aq) in equilibrium with H⁺(aq) and HCO₃⁻(aq) as the 1st ionization step.
Analysis:
H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + HCO₃⁻(aq); Ka(1) = 4.3 x 10⁻⁷
C(i) 0.115M 0 0
ΔC -x +x +x
C(eq) 0.115M - x x x
≅ 0.115M
Ka(1) = [H⁺(aq)][HCO₃⁻(aq)]/[H₂CO₃(aq)] = [(x)(x)/(0.115)]M = [x²/0.115]M
= 4.3 x 10⁻⁷ => x = [H⁺(aq)]₁ = SqrRt(4.3 x 10⁻⁷ · 0.115)M = 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ions.
In general, it is assumed that all of the hydronium ion comes from the 1st ionization step as adding 10⁻¹¹ to 10⁻⁷ would be an insignificant change in H⁺ ion concentration. Therefore, using 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M in H⁺ ion concentration, the hydroxide ion concentration is then calculated from
[H⁺][OH⁻] = Kw => [OH⁻] = (1 x 10⁻¹⁴/2.32 x 10⁻⁴)M = 4.3 x 10⁻¹¹M in OH⁻ ions.
________________________________________________________
NOTE: The 2.32 x 10⁻⁴M value for [H⁺] is reasonable for carbonic acid solution with pH ≅ 3.5 - 4.0.
