Answer: Option C - decomposers; they return biotic material to the abiotic component of the Earth

Explanation:

Decomposers are also known as SAPROPHYTES. They feed on and break down dead and decaying remains of plants and animals, thus enabling the release of certain compounds like ammonia, methane gas etc into the environment that then enrich/improve the soil fertility.

Question 1 (3 points)
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

1. Electrons

2. thru the circuit from the negative power terminal to the positive power terminal

3. Current

4. Voltage

5. resistance

6. Amps

7. Volts

8. Ohms

9. The voltage is decreased by the electrical resistance.

10. It doesn't work. The electricity can't go backwards thru an LED.

11. The current will decrease.

12. 0.75 amps

13. The current increase

14. an inverse relationship

Explanation:

1. Electrons are what move through a circuit. These electrons are called mobile electrons. Unlike protons and neutrons, they are not confined in the nucleus and are free to move about.

2. Electrons tend to move towards the positive. When an electron moves to a stable atom,the atom would have too much electrons, making it negatively charged. This then would cause a chain reaction of passing on electrons to keep stable.

10.

3 to 8:

Collectively, the flow of electric current is dependent on four things: Voltage, current, resistance, and power.

Voltage is the like the driving force of current. It is the measure of the potential energy or electric potential difference between two points. The unit of voltage is volts, named after Alessandro Volta. You can think of volts as electrical pressure. The higher the voltage, the higher the pressure on the flow of charge.

Current is the "flow" of electrons. It could have another meaning though, in electronics, we refer to current as the volume of the flow of electrons. Current is measured in AMPERES or amps named after Andre M. Ampere. Current is a measure of rate, or the rate of the amount of electrons that flow through a certain point in a circuit, at a given time.

Resistance on the other hand is the opposing force. As electrons move along a circuit, there is bound to be friction. This friction opposes the movement of the electrons, which we call resistance. Resistance uses the unit ohms or the symbol Ω.

These three are all related. The flow of current is affected by how much voltage there is available or pressure available for the movement of the electrons, and at the same time, it is also affected to how much resistance there is in the circuit. And that is where Ohm's Law comes in.

9 and 11-14:

Ohm's Law describes the relationship between current, voltage and resistance. It can be summarized into this formula:

V = IR \rightarrow\; I=\dfrac{V}{R}\rightarrow\;R=\dfrac{V}{I}

Where:

V = voltage

I = Current

R = Resistance

9. When electricity is met with an electrical component, the resistance through that part of the circuit increases. However, the resistance does not change the potential difference between the two points, but rather, it changes the amount of current that flows through. This means that it does not affect the voltage.

11. But on the other hand, for this scenario, the resistance was increased from 10 Ohms to 15 Ohms. Current and resistance have an indirect relationship. This means that as one goes up, the other goes down. As the resistance increases, the less current is able to flow through and thus the current will decrease.

12. Using Ohm's Law we can solve this:

I = \dfrac{V}{R}

The following is our given:

V = 9 V

R = 12 Ω

We plug that in our formula:

I = \dfrac{V}{R}\\\\I = \dfrac{9}{12} = \dfrac{3}{4} = 0.75A

13. As mentioned earlier, current and resistance have an indirect relationship. So when you have this scenario where the resistance  chages from 20 Ω to 12Ω, you see that there is a decrease in resistance. This means that more current can flow through this circuit. So this means that the current increases.

14. was already explained above.

Hope this helps even just a little bit! Good Luck!

When a horse and a donkey have an offspring, it is called a mule--a hybrid that cannot reproduce itself. Why are horses and donk
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Horses and donkeys are two different species but belong to the same family Equidae and the genus Equus. They both have different numbers of chromosomes.

Although they look quite similar in appearance, there are many dissimilarities.

The physical differences between horses and donkeys include:

Donkeys backs are flatter than horses.

Donkeys have smaller hoofs than horses.

Donkeys have longer and thicker ears than horses.

Horses tend to have a long face than Donkeys.

Horses have six vertebrates, while donkeys have only five.

Tails of horses and donkey differ. Horses have long tails, whereas donkey’s tail looks like a cow’s tail.

On the genetic level, the total number of chromosomes in the horse is 64 and donkey have 62 number of chromosomes. Mule is a hybrid of a female horse and a male donkey. Hinny is a hybrid of a female donkey and a male horse. Both the offspring (hybrid offspring) produced by donkeys and horses are infertile, sterile, cannot have its own offspring and both have 31 pairs of chromosomes each.

If the produced offspring is fertile then the animals are of the same species and if the produced offspring is sterile then they are of different species. Because of this, both horses and donkeys are considered as a separate species. A species is generally defined as a group of organisms, which are capable of interbreeding and creating viable offspring. In this case, mule and the hinny are not really a new species and are produced by two different species.

How does facilitated transport (facilitated diffusion) help a cell maintain homeostasis?
7nadin3 [17]
Diffusion is when particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. Think of it like a little kid party with two bouncy houses. Let's say that both bouncy houses have the same number of kids, but then half of the people in one bouncy house decide to go get lunch. Then one bouncy house is really full and the other almost empty! So you move to the empty bouncy house so you have more space to jump. This is diffusion. So it helps homeostasis because (back to the bouncy house example) you helped even out the two bouncy houses. Now let's say the kids come back from lunch. Now that bouncy house is too crowded so you move back to the now-emptier one. This is diffusion and you would be helping maintain homeostasis, or an equal level, in both bouncy houses.
