Answer With The Explanation:

Producers are organisms that create food from inorganic matter. The best examples of producers are plants, lichens and algae, which convert water, sunlight and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates. Consumers are organisms that cannot create their food. The producers are the foundation of any ecosystem.

The producers of an ecosystem make energy available to all the other living parts of an ecosystems. Consumers like humans eat the food that producers like plants made decomposers decompose dead plants and animals when they die like bacteria is a decomposer

Antarctica, almost completely covered in ice, has an area

Marysya12 [62]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of ice is $2.39\times 10^{22}g$

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Area of Antarctica = $5,500,000mi^2=5,500,000\times 2.59\times 10^{10}=142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2$ (Conversion factor: $1mi^2=2.59\times 10^{10}cm^2$ )

Height of Antarctica with ice = 7500 ft.

Height of Antarctica without ice = 1500 ft.

Height of ice = 7500 - 1500 = 6000 ft = $182.88\times 10^3cm$ (Conversion factor: 1 ft = 30.48 cm)

To calculate mass of ice, we use the equation:

$\text{Density of a substance}=\frac{\text{Mass of a substance}}{\text{Volume of a substance}}$

We are given:

Density of ice = $0.917g/cm^3$

Volume of ice = Area × Height of ice = $142.45\times 10^{15}cm^2\times 182.88\times 10^3cm=26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.917g/cm^3=\frac{\text{Mass of ice}}{26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3}\\\\\text{Mass of ice}=(0.917g/cm^3\times 26051.26\times 10^{18}cm^3=2.39\times 10^{22}g$
