Water continuously moves between ____________ and _____________ parts of an ecosystem. Question 1 options: Biotic, Autotrophs Ab

borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Biotic, Abiotic

Step-by-step explanation:

Interconnected pathways through which water is recycled through the biotic and abiotic components of the biosphere.

The water cycle is driven by the Sun’s energy. The sun warms the ocean surface and other surface water, causing liquid water to evaporate and ice to sublime—turn directly from a solid to a gas. These sun-driven processes move water into the atmosphere in the form of water vapor.

Over time, water vapor in the atmosphere condenses into clouds and eventually falls as precipitation, rain or snow. When precipitation reaches Earth's surface, it has a few options: it may evaporate again, flow over the surface, or percolate—sink down—into the ground.

In land-based, or terrestrial, ecosystems in their natural state, rain usually hits the leaves and other surfaces of plants before it reaches the soil. Some water evaporates quickly from the surfaces of the plants. The water that's left reaches the soil and, in most cases, will begin to move down into it.

In general, water moves along the surface as runoff only when the soil is saturated with water, when rain is falling very hard, or when the surface can't absorb much water. A non-absorbent surface could be a rock in a natural ecosystem or asphalt or cement in an urban or suburban ecosystem.

Water evaporates to form the ocean surface and forms clouds by condensation. Water in clouds may fall as precipitation over either the land or the sea. Clouds formed over the sea may move over the land. When rain falls over the land, it may flow along the surface, infiltrate the soil—move into it from above ground—and percolate through the soil, moving downward to become groundwater. Groundwater in upper levels may flow into rivers, lakes, or oceans. Water near the soil surface may be taken up by plants and move out of their bodies through transpiration from the leaves. Snowmelt runoff and sublimation of snow and ice are other processes that contribute to the water cycle.

Water in the upper levels of the soil can be taken up by plant roots. Plants use some of the water for their own metabolism, and water that's in plant tissues can find its way into animals’ bodies when the plants get eaten. However, most of the water that enters a plant's body will be lost back to the atmosphere in a process called transpiration.

You are rolling a die and you have rolled for the last 10 times an even number. What is the probability that your next roll will

RSB [31]

Answer:

50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Each die roll (is presumably) independent from the last

this means that rolling an even in the first roll does not effect the odds of getting another even in the next

therefore the odds of getting an odd in the next role is simply 1/2

What is an equation in slope-intercept form for the line that passes through the points (1, -3) and (3, 1)?

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

First we need to find the slope:

Slope formula= $\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$

Plug in your given values from the coordinate
Slope = $\frac{1-(-3)}{3-1}$

When we have 2 "-"'s together they turn into a + sign so we add.
Slope = $\frac{1+3=4}{3-1=2}$
Slope = $\frac{4}{2}$

Simplify (in this case divide) the slope:
Slope = $2$

slope-intercept form is:
y=mx+b
Where m=slope
b=y-intercept

So far we have:
y=2x+b

To find b all we have to do is pick any given coordinate and plug it in:
I chose (3,1)

so we plug that in the equation
1=6+b

Now solve for b:
1=6+b
subtract 6 from both sides
b=-5

Final answer:
y=2x-5 (D)

A kite is a quadrilateral with two pairs of adjacent, congruent sides. Prove the two angles between the non-congruent sides are

Alecsey [184]

Let the kite is the quadrilateral ABCD with the two pairs of adjacent congruent sides. (the diagram is also attached)

Now, its given in question, see from figure,
AB is congruent to AD 
BC is congruent to DC

Now, let us join the points A & C to form AC ; and points B and D to form BD.
So, AC is common side to triangles ABC and ADC.
So, Because AB ≈AD
BC ≈ DC
And, AC is common, therefore,
triangle ABC is congruent to triangle ADC

⇒∠ ABC ≈ ∠ADC (These are the angles between the non-congruent sides)
