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.

Juliette [100K]

The generic name of poisonous chemicals, very often used in commercial agriculture that are used to kill organisms that either reduce the yield of crops or are harmful to animals are pesticides.

Pesticides are the chemicals used to kill the pests affecting the growth and yield of the crops. Pesticide is a broad term covering various small terms according to the pest being killed. For example insecticide, nematicide, avicide, rodenticide, bactericide, etc. Some chemicals used as pesticides are boric acid, Acephate, Deet, Propoxur, glyphosate, etc.

Commercial agriculture means growing of crops so as to sell them in the market to be utilized by the wide population of any area. Any crop can be grown at the commercial level. These crops do not reach the customers directly by the farmers, instead they are sold to whole-sellers first.

The Energetics of Coupled Transport
andrezito [222]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. False - A symporter system requires that one of the molecules to be transported using passive transport.

B. True - The Na+ will move down the established concentration gradient releasing energy to facilitate movement of sucrose against its concentration gradient. This is known as secondary active transport.

C.  False -  sucrose moves through ion channels not by diffusion to better control its movement across the membrane.

D. True - Movement of molecules against their concentration gradient thus requiring energy input is known as active transport.

E. False - One of the molecules needs to be moving against its concentration gradient.

F. False - A Uniporter system allows the binding and transport of a single molecule at a time. A symporter allows simultaneous binding and transport of Na+ and sucrose molecules.
