Answer:

Interactions between biotic and abiotic components regulate carbon dioxide and water levels.

Explanation:

Abiotic factors include temperature, water, humidity, etc; while biotic factors include all the forms of life. These factors interact in the ecosystem to maintain its homeostasis. For example, during the photosynthesis, plants use the energy of the sun water and carbon dioxide to produce food (carbohydrates) and this process converts carbon dioxide (CO2) to oxygen, which is critical for maintaining the homeostasis of the ecosystem.

What does an ecopsychologist study? a. the mental health of environmental scientists b. the relationship between animals' intera

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The correct answer is d. the relationship between a person's mental health and the environment.

Explanation:

Ecopsychology is aimed at identifying the way in which the emotional aspects of human beings are influenced by the environment, that is, ecopsychology collects multiple experiences that connect human development with environmental awareness. Ecopsychologists are oriented to the search for the well-being of the human being through its connection with natural processes through the understanding of the complex interrelationships between people and the environment.

How many grams of potassium nitrate (KNO3) would form if 2.25 liters of a 1.50 molar lead nitrate Pb(NO3)2 solution reacts with

nekit [7.7K]

First we must understand the balanced chemical equation:
Pb(NO3)2 + K2CrO4 ==> PbCr04 + 2KNO3

This shows us that two moles of potassium nitrate are formed from 1 mole of lead nitrate or potassium chromate solution. The next step is to find out how many moles of each reactant there are. Note the word Molar is a concentration that simply means moles per liter.

2.25L of 1.5M lead nitrate = 2.25x1.5 = 3.375 moles of lead nitrate
1.15L of 2.75M potassium chromate = 1.15x2.75 = 3.1625 moles

The important part here is to see that the number of moles of the reactants are different. We know the number of moles of products will be dependent on the number of moles of reactants, and in this case there is less potassium chromate than there is lead nitrate, so this is the limiting factor as there is a one to one relationship with both reactants. Therefore, the number of moles of potassium nitrate produced is 2 x number of moles of potassium chromate. i.e. 6.325 moles of potassium nitrate is liberated.

To work out the number of grams, we must find the molar mass (the mass of one mole) of KNO3, which is the sum of the molar mass of each of its component atoms that make up the molecule. I've looked this up as 101.1 grams per mole.

Now we simply times the molar mass by the number of moles to yield the final grams liberated: 6.325 moles x 101.1 grams/mole = 639.4 grams of potassium nitrate is liberated from this reaction.

the diagram below represents two cells, x and y which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A ?

DaniilM [7]

The diagram below (attached image) represents two cells, X and Y.

Which statement is correct concerning the structure labeled A?

A) It is involved in cell communication in cell X but not in cell y.

B) It represents a cell wall in cell X and the cell membrane in cell y.

C) It prevents the absorption of CO2 in cell x and O2 and cell y.

D) It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y

Cell membrane accomplishes several functions, among them, the removal of cell wastes. Option D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y.

<h3>What is the cell membrane?</h3>

The cell membrane is a barrier that surrounds the cell content and isolates it from the extracellular space. It is composed of two lipidic layers, proteins, and glucans incrusted in between.

The cell membrane accomplishes many different functions. Among them, we can mention,

Isolation ⇒ It separates the intracellular content from the extracellular space.

Protection ⇒ It protects the interior of the cell from any damaging external factor that might affect its correct functioning.

Transport ⇒ It allows the selective pass of certain molecules or ions.

Substances interchange

⇒ Passive transport → Simple diffusion → through lipids

→ Facilitated diffusion → Assisted by channel

proteins

→ Does not need energy

→ Depends on the molecule size, the concentration

at each side of the membrane, and the charge of

the ions.

→ Occurs in favor of the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Active transport → It does the energy to occur

→ Mediated by carrier proteins

→ Transport big-sized molecules

→ Against the electrochemical gradient

⇒ Endocytosis/Exocytosis → Active transport mediated by vesicles.

Communication ⇒ By emission and reception of substances and molecules, the cell can communicate with other cells. This process is always mediated by membranes and their transport proteins or receptor proteins.

In the exposed example X cell represents an animal cell, and Y cell is a plant cell.

Both the animal and plant cells are eukaryotic. They carry their genetic material in the nucleus and mitochondria. Organelles are located in the cytosol, and both of them are surrounded by a protector cell membrane.

Among the options, the correct one is D. It aids in the removal of metabolic waste in both cell X and Y
