Answer with Explanation:

A food chain is a series of transmission of food and energy within an ecosystem. In a food chain the food and energy is transferred in the trophic levels. The trophic levels forms the hierarchy of feeding organisms in a food chain.

The producers come in the lowest trophic level. These are the organisms which can synthesize their own food by photosynthesis. They are the source of food and energy for a large diversity of animals and organisms of the other trophic levels.

The loss of plants, or producers from an ecosystem can reduce the population of primary consumers as they includes the herbivores. The decline in population of the primary consumers will reduce the population of secondary consumers which may include the carnivores.

When plants die they become food for the decomposer for example Lettuce, If all the Lettuce in someones field died the decomposer would get its nutriets and make the soil stronger, so if you plant more Lettuce and it survives the Consumer would get to eat the lettuce. Hope this helped! :)

The same force is applied to two skateboards. One rolls across the room and the other moves a few feet and comes to a stop. Wher

igor_vitrenko [27]

The longer you spend reading and thinking about this question,
the more defective it appears.

-- In each case, the amount of work done is determined by the strength
of the force AND by the distance the skateboard rolls while you're still 
applying the force. Without some more or different information, the total
distance the skateboard rolls may or may not tell how much work was done
to it.

-- We know that the forces are equal, but we don't know anything about
how far each one rolled while the force continued. All we know is that
one force must have been removed.

-- If one skateboard moves a few feet and comes to a stop, then you
must have stopped pushing it at some time before it stopped, otherwise
it would have kept going.

-- How far did that one roll while you were still pushing it ?

-- Did you also stop pushing the other skateboard at some point, or
did you stick with that one?

-- Did each skateboard both roll the same distance while you continued pushing it ?

I don't think we know enough about the experimental set-up and methods
to decide which skateboard had more work done to it.

A constant net torque is exerted on an object. Which of the following quantities for the object cannot be constant? (Select all

prohojiy [21]

Answer:

A. kinetic energy

B. angular velocity

E. angular position

Explanation:

The quantities that cannot be constant if a constant net torque is exerted on an objecta are:

A. Kinetic energy. If a torque is applied, the linear or angular speed will be changing at a rate proportional to the torque, so the kinetic energy will change too.

B. Angular velocity. It will change at a rate equal to the torque.

C. Angular position. If the angular velocity changes, the angular position will change.
