Heterotrophic cells must ingest biomass to obtain their energy and nutrition. Heterotrophic microorganisms mostly feed upon dead plants and animals, and are known as decomposers. ... Some animals also specialize on feeding on dead organic matter, and are known as scavengers or detritivores. Hope this was helpful.

Find the natural abundance of Si-30.

nataly862011 [7]

First you need to know how many isotopes there are of silicon, and its average atomic units (look at periodic table). Then make up a system of equations to solve for it. Theres 3 stable silicon isotopes (28, 29, 30) so you will need to have 3 equations. You must be given the percent abundance of at least one of the isotopes to solve because here I can only see 2 equations (numbered down below) set x = percent abundance of si-28 y = percent abundance of si-29 z = percent abundance of si-30 since all of silicon atoms account for 100% of all silicon: x + y + z = 100% = 1 therefore: 1) x = 1 - y - z You also have 2) 28x + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass you can substitute x so that equation becomes: 28 (1 - y - z) + 29y + 30z = average atomic mass See how you have 2 variables here? You cant go on until you know the value of one isotope already or you have given a clue which you can derive the third equation

Which substance loses electrons in a chemical reaction? the one that is oxidized, which is the oxidizing agent the one that is r

victus00 [196]

Answer:

The one that is oxidized or the reducing agent

Explanation:

Oxidation results in loss of electrons or an increase in oxidation state.

Reduction results in gain of electrons or decrease in oxidation state.

The element that undergoes oxidation is said to oxidised, similarly the element that undergoes reduction is said to be reduced.

In a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction takes place.

If a substrate undergoes oxidation or is oxidised, it is also responsible for reduction of the other species, as the total number of electrons should always be conserved.

The substance that undergoes oxidation, releases some electrons, these electrons are taken by the other substrate and it undergoes reduction.

Hence the substance that undergoes oxidation is called the reducing agent, as it is responsible for reduction of other substrate, when oxidizing itself.

Similar thought works for a substance that undergoes reduction or is reduced, works as an oxidizing agent.

For a reaction at equilibrium, which change can increase the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?a decrease in the concen

Monica [59]

Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) A decrease in the surface area of the products:
Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) An increase in the temperature of the system:
An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
Hence, the correct answer is,"An increase in the temperature of the system".
