Answer:

option (b) 375 grams

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Calories taken per day = 2500 kilocalories

Desired increase in calories = 60%

Amount of calories to be increased per day = 60% of 2500

= 0.60 × 2500

= 1500 kilocalories

Now,

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 Kilocalories

therefore,

For 1500 kilocalories, carbohydrates required will be

= 1500 kilocalories ÷ 4 kilocalories/gram

thus,

carbohydrates required = 375 grams

Why are both biotic and abiotic features important in ecosystems and biomes?
Sati [7]

Hope this is helpful! Sorry if my answer is choppy.

Biotic and abiotic features are both important in ecosystems because for example, a biotic factor like a plant, relies on an abiotic factors like the rain and the sun. If the rain were non existent, then the plants would no longer be alive causing a chain reaction in the food system.

Artyom0805 [142]

Because most cigar and pipe smokers do not<u> </u><u>inhale the smoke</u> , as a group they have a lower risk of cancer than cigarette smokers.

The cigarettes, cigars, and pipe tobacco are made out of dried tobacco leaves. The other substances are usually added for flavor and to make smoking more gratifying. The smoke from these products is a complex mixture of chemicals produced by flaring tobacco and its additives.

There are at least 70 known chemicals to cause cancer. These cancer-causing chemicals are referred to as carcinogens.

It is so because cigars and pipes are usually believed to be less harmful way than to smoke tobacco. It was once a trend to use cigars in the 1990s, luring/dragging the young and the old.

Most of the people think cigars are less harmful to their health, but they actually pose the same risk for oral cancer as cigarettes do. Many cigar smokers don't inhale the smoke, but still the risk for oral, throat, and esophageal cancer is alike as for cigarette smokers.

Which statement is an example of parasitism? A. Psuedoscorpions hide under beetles’ wings for protection and transport. B. Wasps
sladkih [1.3K]

Wasps laying eggs inside hornworms and after the eggs hatch, the wasp larvae feed on the hornworm is the example of parasitism.

Explanation:

There are five types of relationships in an ecosystem. One of the relationships is parasitism. When we define ecosystem, we talk about the kind of interaction that there is between two or more different species.

Parasitism is the type of interaction between two species, in which one species, most likely a parasite, latches itself onto the other species. That other species then becomes a host to the parasite. After latching itself, it becomes dependent on it's host for resources like food and shelter. But, in this type of relationship, the host species is harmed for resources while the parasite species gains strength over time.
