The head of a giraffe is 2.0 m above its heart and the density of the blood is 1.05 103 kg/m3. what is the difference in pressur

The giraffe head is higher than its heart so the blood pressure in the head must be lower than in the heart. The pressure is directly related to the density, gravity, and the height. The calculation would be:

<span>P = ρ*g*h 
</span>P= 1.05* 10^3 kg/m3 * 9.8m/s2 * 2m= <span>20 580 pascals= 20.58 kpa</span>

Which statement correctly describes interactions between organisms in this ecosystem?
Nikitich [7]
An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.

Water, wind, glaciers, ice, and waves are the answers I got when I looked it up. But obviously that's five so I believe you could just take ice out since glaciers is there
