Answer:
Explanation:
When a mass of 8 kg is located on the Earth's surface, the magnitude of each of
the gravitational forces attracting the mass and the Earth toward each other is
(mass) x (acceleration of gravity on Earth) =
(8.0 kg) x (9.81 m/s²) =
78.48 kg-m/s² = 78.48 newtons (about 17 pounds 10.2 ounces)
Answer:
Venus flytrap communicate with other organisms by secreting a sugary substance (nectar) in its leaf glands.
Explanation:
The Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that traps insects in a plant structure that closes when the small hairs on the inside of the structure are touched.
The leaf of this plant contains a watery fluid secreted by glands on its open traps. Organisms like flies are attracted to the secreted nectar and perches on it; only for the hairs of the flytrap to get shut due to that touch and cell expansion triggered.

In order of importance, the world's four most important crop species are: CORN, WHEAT, RICE AND POTATOES.
Corn is the most produced grain in the world and it is used as raw material for production of different types of food. Wheat is the leading source of vegetable protein in the world, it is usually grown in dry and cold climates.
If a zebra mussel is discovered in a lake in Pennsylvania, then the ecologist would be worried because it is an invasive species. The zebra mussel is native to Ukraine and Russia, but if it has been found in Pennsylvania, than it means that it has been introduced in this area. As an invasive species, the zebra mussel can be very dangerous for the native species in the lake. The invasive species usually are more competitive for food sources than the native species, manage to reproduce quicker, bring in diseases, and the native species tend to not have defense mechanisms for them. This leads to rapid decline or even extinction in the native species, while the invasive spreads out quickly and takes over, resulting in dramatic change in the whole ecosystem.
