A fruit fly is considered a consumer rather than a producer why

Chemistry
1 answer:
levacccp [35]3 years ago
5 0
In an ecosystem, the only true producers are autotrophic organisms like plants and bacteria. These organisms produce energy by converting the energy from the sun into simple sugars.
All of the other organisms in the food chain, like the fruit fly, are simply consuming the energy produced by the plants/bacteria and not actually making/producing energy from a new source.

According to nature of flow, convective heat transfer is classified into natural convection
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

When the motion of the fluid results due to natural means like the buoyancy effect, that is, the elevation of the warmer fluid and the fall of the cooling fluid is termed as natural convection. Boiling water is the everyday illustration of the natural convection, in the process, the passing of the heat takes place from the burner into the pot, and heats the water present at the bottom.  

On the other hand, when the fluid is forced to flow in a tube or over the surface by external means like with the help of a fan or a pump is termed as forced convection. The use of a fan on a hot summer day is an everyday illustration of forced convection. An example of effective heat transfer is the sweat produced by our body. Therefore, when one switches off the fan, the air present around the body captivates the water vapor until it gets saturated. It takes place for some time and stops eventually, which makes one feel hotter.  

At that time, when the fan is switched back again, the air surrounding the body starts to move again, without completely getting saturated, and thus, evaporation of the sweat takes place that also contains the heat of the body and one feels cooler.

The alkane with six carbon atoms is called hexane. butane. butene. heptane. none of these choices is correct.
Mkey [24]

Option(A) is the correct answer.

The alkane with six carbons is called hexane.

<h3>What are the potential hazards of hexane?</h3>

Hexane is used as a special-purpose solvent, a cleaning agent, and to extract edible oils from seeds and vegetables. Humans who are acutely (short-term) inhaled high quantities of hexane have moderate central nervous system (CNS) symptoms such giddiness, nausea, headache, and dizziness. Humans who are exposed to hexane in the air <u>over an extended period of time</u> may develop polyneuropathy, which manifests as numbness in the extremities, muscle weakness, impaired vision, headaches, and tiredness. Rats have also displayed neurotoxic consequences. Hexane's potential to cause cancer in both humans and animals is unknown. Hexane has been categorized by the EPA as Group D, not classifiable as a human carcinogen.
