I HOPE that 1, 2, or 3 helps you!! :)

Answer:

1. The cycle of energy is based on the flow of energy through different trophic levels in an ecosystem. ... If large predators are present, they represent still higher trophic level and they feed on carnivores to get energy. Thus, the different plants and animal species are linked to one another through food chains.

Explanation:

2. When organisms use organic matter for cellular respiration, ALL the matter goes back into carbon dioxide, water, and minerals, while ALL the energy leaves the ecosystem as heat (which is ultimately radiated out into space). So matter cycles, energy flows through ecosystems.

3. The amount of energy at each trophic level decreases as it moves through an ecosystem. As little as 10 percent of the energy at any trophic level is transferred to the next level; the rest is lost largely through metabolic processes as heat.

Orlov [11]

1. Changes to a substance that do not involve a permanent reordering of atoms are know as a physical change.

2. Changes that reorder atoms to form new molecules, such as the reaction between sodium and chlorine ions to form sodium chloride, are known as chemical change.

3. What does the release or absorption of energy indicate? A chemical change

4. Which of these is an example of a chemical change? firework exploding

5. Which of the following changes can alter the form of a substance but does not necessarily change it to an other substance? all of the above

6. Chemical compounds undergo both physical and chemical changes. Which of the following is an example of a chemical change? salt (NaCl) being dissolved into water

7. In physical science lab, Kim and Dawn added small pieces of magnesium to hydrochloric acid. They observed that bubbles formed, the test tube got hot, and the magnesium disappeared. What is a sign that a chemical reaction has taken place in this experiment? gas is produced

8. .If two poisonous elements are combined chemically, which of the following will be true of the resulting compound? The compound may or may not be poisonous, depending on the chemical properties of the new substance.

9. What type of change is described in the paragraph above? How do you know? This is a physical change, because the two substances were separated physically by boiling.

10. What conclusion should Max draw from his observations? The tablet that was placed in the water changed directly into a gas through a physical change.

11. Which of these is true of a chemical reaction? Energy is either released or absorbed.

12. What should you do to complete this task? To determine the substances, we will compare the physical and chemical properties of the two substances and perform tests to check if they are reacting the same way in the tests performed. If they react the same way, they are same.

13. Which of these is a chemical property of a substance? flammability

14. Atoms in the same _______ of the periodic share the same chemical properties. group (row)

15. Which of the following are physical properties? Check all that apply. conductivity, melting point, malleability, density and solubility

16. Which of the following represent chemical properties? Check all that apply. oxidation, combustibility , oxidation

How does carbon dioxide affect the ecosystem

FrozenT [24]

As a greenhouse gas that absorbs heat, CO2 raises the temperature of the atmosphere. We refer to this as global warming. The glaciers will melt more quickly as the world's temperature rises, raising sea levels and bringing on disaster. More power is consumed for air conditioning as the temperature rises, which further raises the air's CO2 level.

Since coal is the primary fuel utilized in the creation of power. This creates a vicious cycle.
