Marrrta [24]

The sodium hydroxide solution and vegetable oil underwent a chemical change.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The reaction between a base and a fat or fatty acid is called as saponification reaction. Here the base dissociates into the cation and hydroxyl ion. The hydrogen from the fatty acid of the oil reacts with the hydroxyl ion to form water which is basically the neutralization reaction. This cation now reacts with the rest of the fatty acid to form a bipolar molecule which is the soap. During the reaction, the solution becomes cloudy but with time, it again goes back to solution. The cloudyness appears because oil isn't soluble in water based solutions and the base is actually made solution in water.

Here the sodium hydroxide reacts with oil to form water and the soap molecule which is a chemical change.

Describe functional diversity
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Each and Every species in ecosystem are interlinked their behaviour,mode  of getting their food and the uses of natural resouces  is known as functional diversity

Explanation:

 Biodiversity explains the intensity of an ecosystem in terms of  species,food resources and genetically varied species. The levels of biodiversity  are several, and each level denotes how different the  species genetically and phenotypically,their behaviour, and their mode of food resources in a particular region. The main components of biodiversity are Species diversity,Genetic diversity,Ecosystem diversity and Functional diversity.

  Generally species rich ecosystem  have high functional diversity because there many species with different behaviours and different mode of food consumption Functional diversity is one of the components of biodiversity it comprises the characters of microbes  widespread in an ecosystem.Functional diversity is highly important because of it stability and  and nutrient availability to the species. It can be measured by its richness and evenness.

1. Richness: It refers to the dwelling of number of species in a specific niche

2. Evenness: It refers to the organisms in a particular nich how they are evenly distributed

 Knowledge about a particular ecosystem reveals its richness and evenness and it provides an individual to know about the diversity of functional characters in an ecosystem
