Answer:

Seeds are being delivered to every mailbox in town, all in hopes of purifying the soil using a technique called phytoremediation.Sunflowers can absorb many different toxins and chemicals from the soil and then store those chemicals at the cellular level. Once they're absorbed, they won't leach back out again.

Hello!

*I'll include the names here and the definitions and properties in the explanation since they are descriptive.

Three States of Matter:

Solid
Liquid
Gas

Explanation:

Matter:

Anything that has mass and occupies space (volume) is called matter. Basically, matter (and energy) constitute all the phenomena in the universe.

Composition of Matter:

1. Atom:

An atom is the smallest component into which matter can be divided. It contains charged particles such as electrons, protons and neutrons. It is the basic building block of all substances.

2. Element:

An element is a chemical substance that cannot be broken down into its constituents by simple chemical processes. For example, copper (Cu)

3. Compound:

A chemical substance formed by the combination or bonding of two or more atoms or elements. For example, NaCl is a compound that contains the elements sodium and chlorine linked together by chemical bonds.

4. Physical Properties of Matter:

Properties that are physically observable and quantifiable. All properties that can be studied without changing the chemical constitution of matter. Following are some examples of physical properties:

Melting point
Boiling point
Lustre
Shape
Conductivity
Mass
Volume
Density
Length

5. Chemical Properties of Matter:

Properties that demonstrate a substance's ability to form chemical bonds (undergo chemical reactions) with other substances. Chemical properties are only observable or measurable if the state or chemical composition of the substance is changed. Some examples are:

Chemical stability
Flammability
Reactivity (with acids, oxygen, bases, etc.)
Oxidation/Reduction
Radioactivity

If the ecosystem is balanced, which populations should be the largest? Which should be the smallest?

asambeis [7]

The largest population would be the producers. In an energy pyramid, the producers have the largest biomass. The smallest population would be the top predators, since there isn’t enough energy to sustain this level in the energy pyramid.
