Answer:
A. They cycle elements through the biotic and abiotic components of an ecosystem.
Explanation:
Chemical elements such as nitrogen, carbon, phosphorus etc. moves between the living and non-living parts of an ecosystem in the biosphere. The cycle of these elements between these counterparts (abiotic and biotic) is referred to as the BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE.
Firstly, the biotic components of an ecosystem refers to the living organisms such as plants, animals, microbes etc while the abiotic components are the non-living parts such as soil, water etc. Therefore, according to the description given in the options, option A describes what a BIOGEOCHEMICAL CYCLE best.
Based on the diagram shown in the attached file
R = Radius of the sphere
a = Lattice constant
Using pythagoras theorem for the right angled triangle in figure 2
(4R)^2 = a^2 + a^2
16(R^2) = 2(a)^2
Solving the above equation
a=2R√2
To prove that the Atomic Packing factor is 0.74
Let the volume of atom in a unit cell be Vs
Total unit cell volume, Vc
Vc = a^3
Vc =(2R√2)^3
Vc=16R^3 √2 =22.63R^3
Since there are 4 atoms in the FCC unit cell
Vs=4*(4/3 πR^3)
Vs=5.33 πR^3
APF=(5.33 πR^3)/(22.63R^3 )
APF=0.74
Answer:
Put simply, Asexual reproduction is reproduction without the use of gametes or the number of chromosomes being changed. So they are genetically identical creatures. Some animals include wasps, lizards, sharks, turkeys, and sea urchins.
Sexual reproduction includes chromosomes and gametes being fused, creating genetically different offspring. Examples of creatures that reproduce sexually are humans, chickens, cow, pigs, etc.
Explanation:
Answer: Osmotic pressure : increases
Explanation:
Osmotic pressure is the minimum pressure which is applied to a solution to prevent the flow of solvent across a semipermeable membrane

= osmotic pressure
C= concentration in Molarity (number of moles of solute dissolved per liter of the solution)
R= solution constant
T= temperature
Thus as osmotic pressure is directly proportional top concentration, osmotic pressure will increase on increasing the concentration of a nonvolatile solute in water.
