5 0

Groundwater refers to the water present underground, in the spaces and cracks in the sand, soil, and rock. It is accumulated in and moves gradually through the geologic creations of sand, soil, and rocks known as aquifers.

The groundwater supplies drinking water to about 51 percent of the total population of the United States and 99 percent of the rural population. Almost 64 percent of the groundwater is utilized for irrigation purposes, and it is also a source of recharge for rivers, lakes, and wetlands.

Hence, the correct phrases that describe groundwater are feeds rivers, used for irrigation, and provides drinking water.

in the reaction c o2 → co2, 18 g of carbon react with oxygen to produce 72 g of carbon dioxide. what mass of oxygen would be nee

Strike441 [17]

From the given balanced chemical reaction,
C + O2 -> CO2
the mass ratio of the carbon and oxygen that is needed for the reaction is 12:32. Simplifying the ratio gives 3 unit mass C is to 8 unit mass O2. Given 18 g of carbon,
18 g x (32 g oxygen / 12 g carbon) = 48 grams.
For the given product, the ratio of oxygen to carbon dioxide is 32: 44.
72 g CO2 x (32 g O2 / 44 g CO2) = 52.36 grams

The row of energy in a grassland ecosystem is shown

bixtya [17]

The populations with the trophic levels that receive the least amount of the total energy from the grass would be Hognose snakes and owls.

<h3>Trophic Level</h3>

The higher we move up a trophic level, the lower the amount of energy transferred from the previous levels.

More precisely put, only about 10% of the total energy available at one trophic level is transferred to the next while the rest is lost as heat to the surrounding.

In this case, Hognose snakes and owls represent the two highest trophic levels in the ecosystem. Thus, their populations would receive the lowest amount of energy from the producer, the grass.

jasenka [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is- B) Cell walls are made primarily of peptidoglycan

Explanation:

There is a difference between the cell wall of bacteria, archaea, and eukarya. The cell wall of bacteria is primarily made up of peptidoglycan which contains two sugar N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid while archaea contain two N-acetyltalosaminuronic acid (NAT) in place of N-acetylmuramic acid which is called pseudo-peptidoglycan.

Eukaryotic cell wall is also different from archaeal and bacterial cell wall and animals in eukaryotes do not have a cell wall. Therefore cell wall made up primarily of peptidoglycan will allow you to classify the organism as belonging to Bacteria but not Archaea or Eukarya.
