A scientist set up an experimental ecosystem in a sealed room with no windows. The experimental ecosystem has plants, and animal

s that eat those plants. The scientist can control whether the room is light or dark with a light switch outside the room.
The amount of carbon in the air of the ecosystem started out low. Then the amount of carbon in the air started to increase. Is the increase because the scientist switched the light on or because she switched the light off? What happened to the number of energy storage molecules in the living things?

The scientist . . .



a
switched the light off, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things decreased.

b
switched the light off, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things increased.

c
switched the light on, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things increased.

d
switched the light on, and the number of energy storage molecules in the living things decreased.

Answer:

Option-A

Explanation:

In the given question, the artificial ecosystem was prepared by the scientist which included the animals and plants. The light and dark conditions were controlled by a switch and bulb.

In the beginning, the amount of Carbon in the form of carbon dioxide was low due to the utilization of carbon dioxide by plants to perform photosynthesis. Then the amount of carbon dioxide increased in the atmosphere, the reason could be due to less consumption of carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is not uptake by plants during night conditions when photosynthesis process slowed down or stops.

Therefore, the dark condition was created by the scientist by switching off the lights and the number of energy molecule decreased as no photosynthesis was occurring.

Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.

Because carbon can bond to one another, what shapes can they form?
faltersainse [42]
Correct answer - Tetrahedral, planar or flat.

Why? - When carbon forms single bonds with other atoms, the shape is tetrahedral. When two carbon atoms form a double bond, the shape is planar, or flat. Single bonds, like those found in ethane, are able to rotate.

What role do other human body systems, such as the digestive system, the integumentary system, and the respiratory system play i
Yakvenalex [24]
Respiratory system helps in breathing and it leads to exhalation of the gas carbon dioxide which is not required by the body. The integumentary system is the first line of defense and protects the body from invadig microbes, dust, and other harmful substances. The digestive system protects the body by enabling digestio of food and providing energy to sustain, further the toxic waste materials are also released during the process.

How does the system of classification relate to the diversity of species?
11111nata11111 [884]
The system of classification relates to the diversity of species because the system of classification is how we organize the diversity of species. With out it we would have a hard time trying to determine which animals belong with which group. There would be no order, just chaos of trying to determine animal likeness of one another. 
To cut this answer short, it helps them organize organisms.
