[1620] . . . so as there died sometimes two or three of a day, in the foresaid time; that of one hundred and odd persons, scarce

fifty remained. And of these in the time of most distress, there was but six or seven sound persons, who, to their great commendations be in spoken, spared no pains, night nor day, but with abundance of toil and hazard of their own health, fetched them wood, made them fires, dressed them meat, made their beds, washed their loathsome clothes, clothed and unclothed them; in a word, did all the homely and necessary offices for them which dainty and queasy stomachs cannot endure to hear named; and all this willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren.

Answer:

Selfless

Explanation:

In this passage, we see that Bradford thinks of the caretakers as being selfless. He tells us that this people "spared no pains, night nor day" in order to take care of the sick. Moreover, we learn that they did all of this "willingly and cheerfully, without any grudging in the least, showing herein their true love unto their friends and brethren." This shows that the caretakers of the ill had a great disposition and were selfless.

what is the basis for energy in most ecosystems? how much energy is kept as you go up a energy pyramid or a food chain?why?​
zimovet [89]

Answer:

Primary producers—usually plants and other photosynthesizers—are the gateway for energy to enter food webs.

Productivity is the rate at which energy is added to the bodies of a group of organisms—such as primary producers—in the form of biomass.

Gross productivity is the overall rate of energy capture. Net productivity is lower, adjusted for energy used by organisms in respiration/metabolism.

Energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient. Only about 10% of the net productivity of one level ends up as net productivity at the next level.

Ecological pyramids are visual representations of energy flow, biomass accumulation, and number of individuals at different trophic levels.

Introduction

Have you ever wondered what would happen if all the plants on Earth disappeared—along with other photosynthesizers, like algae and bacteria?

Well, our beautiful planet would definitely look barren and sad. We would also lose our main source of oxygen, that important stuff we breathe and rely on for metabolism. Carbon dioxide would no longer be cleaned out of the air, and—as it trapped heat—Earth might warm up fast. And, perhaps most problematic, almost every living thing on Earth would eventually run out of food and die.

Why would this be the case? In almost all ecosystems, photosynthesizers are the only "gateway" for energy to flow into food webs—networks of organisms that eat one another. If photosynthesizers were removed, the flow of energy would be cut off, and the other organisms would run out of food. In this way, photosynthesizers lay the foundation for every light-receiving ecosystem.

Producers are the energy gateway

Plants, algae, and photosynthetic bacteria act as producers. Producers are autotrophs, or self-feeding organisms, that make their own organic molecules from carbon dioxide. Photoautotrophs, like plants, use light energy to build sugars out of carbon dioxide. The energy is stored in the chemical bonds of the molecules, which are used as fuel and building material by the plant.

The energy stored in organic molecules can be passed to other organisms in the ecosystem when those organisms eat plants or other organisms that have previously eaten plants. In this way, all the consumers—or heterotrophs, other-feeding organisms—of an ecosystem rely on the ecosystem's producers for energy. Consumers include herbivores, carnivores, and decomposers.

Which is one way that Swift criticizes society in "A Modest Proposal"?
Alik [6]

Answer:

option A. In "A Modest Proposal" Jonathan Swift criticizes society by suggesting that people care so little about children they would be willing to sell and eat them.

Explanation:

"A Modest Proposal" was anonymously published by Swift in 1729. In it, the author argues, ironically, that a suitable solution for helping the starving children of Ireland would be to fatten them all and later feed them to the rich Irish land-owners. By suggesting these, Swift is giving the statement that the Irish society, specially the high class of land owners, care so little about the children that they would be more willing to sell them and eat them than to actually help them.
