How does the way that matter flows through an ecosystem differ from the way that energy flows?

Physics
1 answer:
drek231 [11]4 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Matter can be recycled while energy cannot be recycled in an ecosystem.

Explanation:

Energy is lost in form of heat from one organism to another. The major energy in an ecosystem is from the sun (solar energy) which is taken by the producers. Once the sun stops generating energy, life will be difficult. Unlike the sun, matter can be recycled. Living things need non living things to survive. Matter can be 'nutrient' (which is non living). Nutrients are needed for life and growth. Nutrients include water, oxygen, carbon etc. An ecosystem nutrient cycle shows that decomposes are vital. Decomposers release nutrients when they break down dead organisms. These nutrients released by Decomposers are taken in by plants through the roots. The nutrients pass from producers (plants) to primary consumer (herbivores) when they feed on plants and then to higher levels consumers when they feed and digest the lower levels consumers and the producers. When they (the living things) grow and die, the nutrient cycle begins again.

1. Two blocks travel along a level frictionless surface. Block A is initially moving to the right at 5.0 m/s, while block B is i
ad-work [718]

Answer: 2.67 m/s

Explanation:

Given

Mass of block A  is m_a=2\ kg

mass of block B is m_b=3\ kg

The initial velocity of block A u_a=5\ m/s

the initial velocity of block B is u_b=0

After collision velocity of block A is v_a=1\ m/s

Conserving momentum

m_au_a+m_bu_b=m_av_a+m_bv_b\\\\2\times 5+3\times0=2\times 1+3\times v_b\\\\v_b=\dfrac{8}{3}=2.67\ m/s

The momentum of block A after the collision is P_a=2\times 1=2\ kg.m/s

Therefore, there is no change in sign.

How does volcanic ash in earth's atmosphere affect solar radiation?
Irina-Kira [14]

The answer is it increases the amount of solar radiation that is redirected into space. Most of the particles emitted from volcanoes cool the earth by covering entering solar radiation. The cooling result can last for months to years contingent on the features of the eruption.
