In "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge", the meaning that is conveyed by the words "then all is darkness and silence!" is that Farquhar has been hanged.

Answer:

Farquhar has been hanged.

Explanation:

It later on continues with <em>"Peyton Fahrquhar was dead; his body, with a broken neck, swung gently from side to side beneath the timbers of the Owl Creek bridge"</em>. The idea that <em>"all is darkness is silent" </em>pinpoints exactly when it happened. Moments before he died, he was seeing different moments of his life, and then nothing but the silent blackness of death.

what is the basis for energy in most ecosystems? how much energy is kept as you go up a energy pyramid or a food chain?why?​
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Primary producers—usually plants and other photosynthesizers—are the gateway for energy to enter food webs.

Productivity is the rate at which energy is added to the bodies of a group of organisms—such as primary producers—in the form of biomass.

Gross productivity is the overall rate of energy capture. Net productivity is lower, adjusted for energy used by organisms in respiration/metabolism.

Energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient. Only about 10% of the net productivity of one level ends up as net productivity at the next level.

Ecological pyramids are visual representations of energy flow, biomass accumulation, and number of individuals at different trophic levels.

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the plants on Earth disappeared—along with other photosynthesizers, like algae and bacteria?

Well, our beautiful planet would definitely look barren and sad. We would also lose our main source of oxygen, that important stuff we breathe and rely on for metabolism. Carbon dioxide would no longer be cleaned out of the air, and—as it trapped heat—Earth might warm up fast. And, perhaps most problematic, almost every living thing on Earth would eventually run out of food and die.

Why would this be the case? In almost all ecosystems, photosynthesizers are the only "gateway" for energy to flow into food webs—networks of organisms that eat one another. If photosynthesizers were removed, the flow of energy would be cut off, and the other organisms would run out of food. In this way, photosynthesizers lay the foundation for every light-receiving ecosystem.

Producers are the energy gateway

Plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria act as producers. Producers are autotrophs, or self-feeding organisms, that make their own organic molecules from carbon dioxide. Photoautotrophs, like plants, use light energy to build sugars out of carbon dioxide. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules, which are used as fuel and building material by the plant.

The energy stored in organic molecules can be passed to other organisms in the ecosystem when those organisms eat plants or other organisms that have previously eaten plants. In this way, all the consumers—or heterotrophs, other-feeding organisms—of an ecosystem rely on the ecosystem's producers for energy. Consumers include herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers.

Answer:

1. Everyone is a subject. (A)

2. Both is a subject. (A)

3. All is a subject. (A)

Explanation:

<u>The subject is the topic of a sentence, that is, what that sentence is about. To find the subject, we can ask questions to the verb. Let's do that for each sentence given in the question:</u>

<u>1. Everyone named him the best. singer. --> Who performed the action? Who named him the best singer? Everyone. --> Everyone is the subject.</u>

<u>2. Both of the girls forgot their bags. --> Who performed the action? Who forgot their bags? Both (of the girls). --> Both is the subject.</u>

<u>3. Not all were late tonight; some were actually early. --> Who performed the action? Who were late tonight? (Not) all. --> All is the subject.</u>

If any doubt remains, take a look at the following definitions. They will help you see that none of the other options is correct.

- A subject complement is a word or phrase which describes the subject. It comes after a linking verb (to be, to become, to feel, to look, etc.).

- The direct object is the receiver of the verb's action. For instance: She cooked the meal ("meal" is the object of "cooked").

- The object of a preposition is a noun or pronoun that follows a preposition in a sentence.
