So far in this course, we have seen decomposers that are from the fungi kingdom and decomposers from the animal kingdom (termite

s, pill bugs). Despite sharing the same mode of nutrition, these organisms are extremely different.
What is the key difference in the energy tradeoff in how fungi and animals decompose material? How does the body plan of each support this? (2 points)
If both types of organisms are in the same environment competing (i.e. on a log), which do you think would be more successful? Provide an explanation supporting your choice.

Answer:

Explanation:

What is the key difference in the energy tradeoff in how fungi and animals descompose material? How does the body plan of each support this?

The fungi kingdom is in charge of material descomposition, their mechanisms for doing this is by their toxins, which are the substances that they produce that descompose the material. On the other hand, the descomponers from the animal kingdom (termites, pill bugs) have a digestive system in which they use their body enzymes to descompose organic materials. Those are their different descomposition materials.

If both types of organisms are in the same environment competing, which do you think would be more successful?

I think that the fungi kingdom would be more successful if is competing for nutrients against the animal kingdom. This is because the fungi kingdom doesn´t need too much time to appear and act, they only need a little quantity of humidity on the environment, and once they appear, they start acting really quickly.

For example, if I leave a piece of cheese on the fridge and is not at the correct temperature, it is more likely for a fungus to appear and descompose the cheese than an animal to appear because the fridge would be completely closed.

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Inte
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Suppose that at a given point along a capillary, the following forces exist: Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg. The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

Explanation:

  • Data:

Capillary hydrostatic pressure (HPc) = 30 mmHg

Interstitial fluid hydrostatic pressure (HPif) = 0 mmHg

Capillary colloid osmotic pressure (OPc) = 25 mmHg

Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure (OPif) = 2 mmHg

  • Formula Applied :

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient

Hydrostatic pressure gradient = Capillary hydrostatic pressure - Interstitial hydrostatic pressure = 30mmHg - 0 mmHg = 30 mmHg

Oncotic pressure gradient =  Capillary colloid osmotic pressure - Interstitial fluid colloid osmotic pressure =25  - 2 = 23 mmHg

Net filtration pressure= hydrostatic pressure gradient -  Oncotic pressure gradient = 30 mmHg - 23 mmHg = 7 mmHg.

Hence, The net filtration pressure at this point in the capillary is <u>7mmHg.</u>

select all of the following that are examples of how organisms respond to external stimuli. multiple select question. a person r
Airida [17]

The answer is a person removes their hand after touching a hot stove and a person turns their head toward the source of loud noise.

External stimuli are factors outside of the body that is taken in by receptors and will lead to a response. Examples of external stimuli include temperature changes, vision, hearing, tasting, smelling, and even sunlight for plants.

To accelerate a 3 kg skateboard at 9 m/s2 a how much newtons are needed?
lianna [129]
Force is mass × acceleration and it is measured in Newtons.
 Mass = 3kg
Acceleration = 9m/s²
F = ma
F = 3×9
F = 27Newtons.

Uranium-235 undergoes nuclear fission as shown in the diagram below.
Nesterboy [21]

Answer

A) 95 Kr

36

Explanation

The process by which a large nucleus split into two smaller nuclei is called nuclear fission and occurs after the nucleus has absorbed a neutron that is a product of the radioactive decay of another atom. The formed fission fragments are unstable and extremely radioactive.
