Answer:

Biodiversity is important to humans for many reasons. Ecological life support— biodiversity provides functioning ecosystems that supply oxygen, clean air and water, pollination of plants, pest control, wastewater treatment and many ecosystem services.

Explanation:

Hope it helps :)

In the food pyramid, the greatest biomass appears at the level of A) Birds and Mammals. B) Insects and Zooplankton. C) Phytoplan

Romashka [77]

I think the answer should be:D) Small Fish and other Aquatic Species

In food pyramid, the biomass will be much lower in the higher level. In general, every level will have lower of mass/energy compared to the level below. Then, the greatest biomass should be found in the producer class. High-level consumer like bird or mammals should have the lowest mass.
But it was inverted in aquatic, producer become the lowest mass so phytoplankton and zooplankton must be lowest. You should be able to exclude option A and C so it is either option B or D. Since B has zooplankton, I prefer to choose D

Given the number of blood vessels in the retina, why do you suppose that you are not able to see them normally

AysviL [449]

Answer:

You can't see the blood vessels themselves because vision depends on a process that makes it impossible to see things that are stationary with respect to the retina. Light receptors in the retina respond only to changes in light reaching them, not to a steady image.

Have a great day! :D

What is the derived Sl unit for quantities of energy?

yuradex [85]

Answer:

C. Joule

Explanation:

Energy can be defined as the ability of an individual to do work per unit time.

There are different types of energy and these includes mechanical energy, chemical energy, solar energy, electrical energy, nuclear energy, wind energy etc.

Also, there are two (2) forms of energy and these are;

I. Potential energy: it can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its position.

Mathematically, potential energy is given by the formula;

$P.E = mgh$

Where;

P.E represents potential energy measured in Joules.

m represents the mass of an object.

g represents acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.

h represents the height measured in meters.

II. Kinetic energy: it can be defined as an energy possessed by an object or body due to its motion.

Mathematically, kinetic energy is given by the formula;

$K.E = \frac{1}{2}MV^{2}$

Where;

K.E represents kinetic energy measured in Joules.

M represents mass measured in kilograms.

V represents velocity measured in metres per seconds square.

A derived unit can be defined as a unit derived through the multiplication of three (3) SI base unit; mass (kg) , length (m) and time (s).

Hence, the derived Sl unit for quantities of energy is Joules (m²kgs¯²).
