When an organic compost pile is built correctly (sufficiently large, slightly moist, and containing a variety of organic materia

l), it tends to get hot. Which of the following best explains why a compost pile gets hot?
A. Solar energy hitting the pile causes photosynthetic microorganisms in the pile to begin working and releasing the stored energy as heat.

B. Water molecules within the compost pile spontaneously break down and release their energy as heat.

C. The decomposers are breaking down energy-containing organic molecules for their own use and some of the energy escapes as heat.

D. The decomposers are constantly moving around within the compost pile and the friction of their motion heats up the pile.

Answer:

The right answer is "2.30 g/ml".

Explanation:

Given:

Volume,

= 17 ml

Mass,

= 39 g

Now,

The density will be:

= \frac{Mass}{Volume}

By substituting the values, we get

= \frac{39}{17}

= 2.30 \ g/ml

Why are 2 different enzymes needed for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose phosphate?
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Explain why two different enzymes are needed for the synthesis of glycogen from glucose phosphate. This is because enzymes are substrate specific, in that each enzyme only catalyzes one substrate. This is because enzyme activity increases with concentration, or availability of the substrates.

Calculate the wave speed of a 20 m wave that has a frequency of 10 Hz. *
Svet_ta [14]

Answer: 200metres per second

Explanation:

The wavespeed of a wave is the distance covered by the wave in one second. It is measured in metre per second, and represented by the symbol V.

Recall that Velocity (V) = Frequency F x wavelength λ

V = F λ

In this case, wavelength (λ)= 20 m frequency = 10 Hz.

Hence, V = F λ

= 20 metres x 10 hertz

= 200 metres per second

Thus, the wave travels at a speed of 200 metres per second
