Ghella [55]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The correct answer is "The ammonia is controlled with a filter that uses two type of bacteria."

Explanation:

  • The Biosphere on earth is composed of all the ecosystems, while each ecosystem is composed of the abiotic and biotic components and their mutual interactions. Aquarium is an example of aquatic ecosystem.
  • Abiotic components constitute the non-living part of the ecosystem.
  • Biotic components constitute the living part of the ecosystem.
  • In the aquarium,
  1. The abiotic components include the air, water, heat, minerals, sunlight, fluorescent light.
  2. The biotic components include the aquatic plants, aquatic animals and  the bacteria (in the filter attached to the aquarium).
  • These bacteria are responsible for fixing dissolved nitrogen gas present in the water of the aquarium to ammonium and are called nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Free living bacteria like cyanobacteria or blue-green algae are examples of nitrogen-fixing bacteria.
  • Fixation of dissolved nitrogen gas to ammonium and then conversion of ammonium to nitrites and nitrates (done by other bacteria) is essential because plants (terrestrial or aquatic) can use only  nitrates as the source of nitrogen for the purpose of metabolism.

The answer to this question would be <span>Some is used by decomposers, and some is released into the environment as heat.
</span>
When an organism died, decomposer can degrade some of its remaining corpses and use the produced energy. Some of the parts can't be degraded like bones.
The total energy should not be decreased as it was opposing the law of conservation of energy.

If the earth were not tilted would there be seasons explain? Pls help
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

If the earth was tilted, there would be small changes in temperature, but there will be no seasons. The Earth's axis is now inclined at around 24 degrees. This is the main reason for the changing of the seasons. The Northern Hemisphere is in the warm season when the Earth is slanted toward the sun, and the Northern Hemisphere is in the cold season when the Earth is slanted away from the sun. The cycle repeats itself every year because the Earth rotates around the sun at a known and generally constant rate. The sun is higher in the sky during the warm season, making it warmer, and lower in the sky during the cool season, making it colder.

Hope this helps :)
