Answer:

The percentage of food consumed provides an idea regarding the accessibility of food for the organism. In case, if the percentage of food consumed is high it demonstrates that there is no competition amongst the species for the food, and it shows the success rate of that particular species.  

On the other hand, when the percentage of food consumed becomes low in a specific region, it demonstrates that there is a competition for food and resources between the species, and thus, one can witness a decline in the number of the species that gets out-compete. Thus, it can be said that the number of specific species is directly equivalent to the percentage of food present.

Answer : The percentage of food gives an idea about the food availability for the species of organisms. If the food percentage is high the species is observed to be more successful; on the other hand if the percentage is low the species is found to shrink in numbers. The numbers of particular species is directly proportional to the percentage of food. Also, it shows the options of other food resources on the basis of their availability.

A force of 13 N is applied to the handle of a screwdriver being used to pry off the lid of a
Elena-2011 [213]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

Efficiency = 61.54%

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

Efficiency is given by the Formula;

Efficiency = work output/work input × 100%

Work input = Input force × distance moved by the input force

                  = 13 N × 0,25

                  =  3.25 Joules

Work output or work done by the screwdriver is 2 Joules

Therefore;

Efficiency = 2/3.25 ×100%

                <u>=  61.54%</u>

Which of these is NOT an interaction between a plant's root and shoot systems?
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

The stomata open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaves.

Explanation:

Higher plants are made up of two major system parts namely: shoot system and root system. The shoot system constitutes every part of the plant above the ground i.e leaves, fruits, stem etc. while the root system constitutes the part below ground i.e the roots. The shoot system and root system, however, interacts in several ways to ensure that the plant functions optimally. The ways they interact include:

- The roots (root system) absorb water from the soil, which is transported upwards to prevent leaves (shoot system) from drying up.

- The phloem, which is a conducting tissue, transports sugars (product of photosynthesis) from the leaves (shoot system) to the root nodules (root system) for storage.

- Nutrients are absorbed from the soil by the roots (root system) and moved to the stems (shoot system).

Note that, although it is true that "stomata in the leaves open to allow carbon dioxide to enter the leaves", there is no connection between the shoot and root system.

If an atom of sodium has 11 protons, what is its approximate atomic mass?
Damm [24]
If you add the amount of protons with the amount of neutrons, you get the atomic mass. Sodium has 11 protons, and 12 neutrons. 11+12=23

What forms of carbon are common in solid earth
Blizzard [7]
<span>All things that are found within the Earth are one way or another, composed of carbon. Carbon is very abundant within metals that are dug from the Earth and they can also be seen making up parts of the human body’s bones to make it light weight. Most scientists believe that throughout the evolution of Earth, carbon has always been present and makes up most of the materials that have existed before. </span>
