Answer:

D. Decomposers are not recycling nutrients for use.

Explanation:

A. There are too many carnivores in the ecosystem.

B. The herbivore population is decreasing.

C. The consumers are absorbing all of the available nutrients.

D. Decomposers are not recycling nutrients for use.

Decomposers in an ecosystem function by decomposing dead organic matters and recycling their nutrients back into the ecosystem This nutrients then become available for other group of organisms (like the producers) to pick up an utilized for their functions.

<em>Option A and B have no significant implication on the amount of nutrient in the ecosystem. Option C is also wrong because consumers only take their nutrient by feeding on producers or other consumers.</em>

The correct option is D.

  • Fasten around the waist and neck.

STEP 2: SHOE COVERS

  • Layer shoes with shoe covers on top.

STEP 3: GLOVES

  • Apply the first set of gloves and inspect them for tears.
  • Thumb hole made in lab coat
  • Thumb through opening in lab coat after pulling it over the hand
  • Put on a second set of gloves (extend to cover wrist)

STEP 4: MASK OR RESPIRATOR

  • As you cup the respirator in your hands, place the nosepiece there.
  • With the nosepiece up, place the respirator under your chin. Pull the top strap over your head, putting it at the back of your head.

If a battery produced 12.6 volts, what would the current flow be for a 6 Ohm resistor
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

I = 2.1 A

Explanation:

This is physics, but I will answer here either way.

First, the battery produces a voltage of 12 V in a resistor with 6 ohm, and we want the current flow (I). We need to apply the following expression:

V = R * I   (1)

This is the Ohm's law. From here we can solve for I and:

I = V/R   (2)

Now, we just need to replace the data and solve for the current:

I = 12.6 / 6

<h2>I = 2.1 A</h2>

Hope this helps

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Georgia is the world's leading producer of Kaolin (china clay).

Explanation:

Kaolin or china clay contains the mineral kaolinite mainly. It also contains varying amounts of other minerals like muscovite, feldspar, quartz, etc. In order to prepare it for commercial use, the clay in its natural form is then chemically treated and washed with water to remove the other minerals.

Kaolin is extensively used in the ceramic industry and the paper-coating industry. The high fusion temperature and white burning characteristics are used in the ceramic industry for the manufacture of chinaware, porcelain, and refractories. In the paper-coating industry, the kaolin is mixed with the cellulose fiber in the paper sheet. This gives the paper its color, opacity, and printability. It is also used as a pigment additive in paints, as a filler in plastic and rubber compounds, and in pharmaceuticals.
