1. In a soil ecosystem, matter _________________ and energy ___________________.
Aliun [14]

Answer:

Recycled, not recycled

Explanation:

In a soil ecosystem, matter is recycled and energy isn't recycled.

Matter is recycled through biogeochemical cycles. Matter has to be recycled because it can neither be created, nor destroyed, and as such, recycling is the only option left.

Energy isn't recycled because most of the energy gotten is used by organisms, as gotten from the plants already, and thus, when it gets to the food chain there isn't much left to be recycled.

What do capillaries have in common with veins and arteries?
laila [671]
Capillaries connect the arteries to veins. The arteries deliver the oxygen-rich blood to the capillaries, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. The capillaries then deliver the waste-rich blood to the veins for transport back to the lungs and heart. Veins carry the blood back to the heart.
