Answer:

The requirement of different nutrients, divide them into 2 categories.

Explanation:

On the basis of requirement of nutrients in our food, the chemicals are divided into 2 types - macronutrients, and macronutrients.

Nutrients are the molecules present in the food nourishes the living organisms. The macronutrients are needed in large quantities and they provide energy to the organism.

There are 3 major macronutrients present in every kind of food - proteins, fats, and carbohydrates.

On the other hand, micronutrients are required very less amount to the animals. But they are important for nourishment of the body, but their quantity is very less. Example of micronutrients are vitamins, minerals, manganese, iron, potassium, etc.

Therefore, it is told one should take balance diet to get all the nutrients.

Answer:

Can grow on MM1.

Explanation:

Organisms that can only grow in a media having specific nutrients included in it are called a fastidious organism, this implies that these organisms have specific nutrient requirements for their growth.
MM 1 represents the minimal media which has basic nutrients present in it, however as the fastidious organisms require some particular or complex nutrients for their growth they can not grow on the minimal media.
Therefore, since the organisms that are given in the question is able to grow on the minimal media MM1, this implies that it is not a fastidious organism.

Which statements about the Hubble Space Telescope are true?

ankoles [38]

<h2 /><h2> $Answer-$ </h2>

The Hubble Space Telescope (often referred to as HST or Hubble) is a space telescope that was launched into low Earth orbit in 1990 and remains in operation. It was not the first space telescope, but it is one of the largest and most versatile, renowned both as a vital research tool and as a public relations boon for astronomy. The Hubble telescope is named after astronomer Edwin Hubble and is one of NASA's Great Observatories, along with the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (1991–2000), the Chandra X-ray Observatory (1999–present), and the Spitzer Space Telescope (2003–2020). The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) selects Hubble's targets and processes the resulting data, while the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC) controls the spacecraft.

3. How can diversity within an ecosystem be compromised?

Lena [83]

Answer:

O by building structures on natural habitat areas

Explanation:

The diversity within an ecosystem can be compromised by building structures on natural habitat areas.

An ecosystem is part of the environment made up of living and non-living components in their natural habitats.

Diversity entails variations in the life forms within a particular ecosystem.
When human-induced pressure begins to impact the environment, diversity is threatened
Nature has its balancing effect the allow for a wide range of organisms to thrive.
When human builds structures, part of the natural habitat is lost.
