What would happen to an ecosystem without decomposers?

Biology
1 answer:
Sholpan [36]3 years ago
7 0
A, plant growth would decrease. Decomposers break down organic materials into nutrients and return these nutrients to the soil. The nutrients are vital to plant growth. If decomposers went extinct, then eventually plants would use up all the existing nutrients and start to die.

The amount of energy required to heat 0.5 kilograms of water until the temperature increases 12° C is about
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

Q = 25104 / 4.184 = 6000 Calories or 6 Kcal

Explanation

Energy can be calculated by the equation

Q = m x Cp x delta T

where

m = mass = 0.5 kg

Cp = specific heat of water = 4184 J

Delta T = 12 degrees

Multiplying all

Q = 0.5 x 4184 x 12 = 25104 Joules

Converting it to Calories

Q = 25104 / 4.184 = 6000 Calories or 6 Kcal

How does the law of conservation of energy apple to virbatioin
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

As objects move around over time, the energy associated with them—e.g., kinetic, gravitational potential, heat—might change forms, but if energy is conserved, then the total will remain the same. Conservation of energy applies only to isolated systems.

How are endocytosis and exocytosis similar? how are they different?
suter [353]
Endocytosis and exocytosis are similar in that they are both forms of cell transport. They differ because in endocytosis, a cell transports molecules into a cell (think: endo - in), and in exocytosis, the cell's molecules are transported by being expelled.
