How do matter and energy move through an ecosystem?

Allushta [10]3 years ago

Food chains allow energy to move through an ecosystem. For example, energy is transferred from organism to organism such as the sun gives energy to grass, grass gives energy to grasshoppers when they eat grass, mice eat grasshoppers, and snakes eat mice, eagles or bigger birds of prey eat snakes. A technique discovered by Charles Elton named energy pyramids display how energy is dispersed on a pyramid starting from producers to tertiary consumers. An example of a producer would be grass, primary consumer would be a grasshopper (herbivores), a secondary consumer would be a mouse/mice (eat herbivores), and a tertiary consumer (eat secondary consumers) would be an owl. Starting from the bottom of the energy pyramid (producers) to the top (tertiary consumers) it 10% of energy is available to travel up the pyramid. That is your scientific explanation!

Answer:

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

Explanation:

The aim of the question is to select the right condition for that would increases the rate of the reaction.

a) use a large sized piece of the solid Cu

This option is wrong. Reducing the surface area decreases the reaction rate.

b) lower the initial temperature below 25 °C for the liquid reactant, HNO3

Hugher temperatures leads to faster reactions hence this option is wrong.

c) use a 0.5 M HNO3 instead of 2.0 M HNO3

Higher concentration leads to increased rate of reaction. Hence this option is wrong.

d) cut the large sized Cu solid into smaller sized pieces

This leads to an increased surface area of the reactants, which leads to an increased rate of the reaction. This is the correct option.

How can you tell from the name the types of bonds present in a hydrocarbon?
Darya [45]

Answer:

Alkane

Alkene

Alkyne

Explanation:

Alkane=1 bond (Saturated hydrocarbon)

Alkene= 2 bonds (Unsaturated hydrocarbon)

Alkyne= triple bonds (Unsaturated hydrocarbon)

Formula of Alkane = CnH2n+2

Formula of Alkene = CnH2n

Formula of Alkyne = CnH2n-2
