Answer:There is a fundamental difference in the way energy and matter flows through an ecosystem.Matter flows through the ecosystem in the form of the non-living nutrients essential to living organisms. When a living organism dies, nutrients are released back into the soil. These nutrients then are absorbed by plants, which are eaten by the herbivores. Matter, once again, is passed on. The herbivore is eaten by a carnivore (and matter is yet again transferred therein). Ultimately, when the carnivore dies, matter is returned back to the soil by the decomposers and the cycle repeats. So you see, matter is recycled in the ecosystem.Unlike matter, energy is not recycled through the system. A part of the energy is lost at each stage.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

Cell membrane of prokaryotes and Inner mitochondria of eukaryotes

Explanation:

Electron transport chain is a part of oxidative phosphorylation which is the third step of aerobic cellular respiration in living organisms. The ETC is a complex of proteins and mobile electron carriers. It occurs when electron is being transferred from one electron carrier to another, starting from NADH and FADH2. A proton pump which is used to synthesize ATP is generated at the end.

This ETC process occurs in the cell membrane of prokaryotic cells due to the fact that they lack a membrane-bound Mitochondrion. ETC occurs in the inner membrane of the mitochondria called CRISTAE in eukaryotic cells.

Calculate the number of neutrons in an atom of an element that has a mass number of 98 and an atomic number of 42
olya-2409 [2.1K]
There are 56 neutrons. To find them, you just have to subtract the atomic number with the atomic mass. If you dont know, the atomic number is the number of protons (and electrons) in an atom. The atomic mass is the number of both the protons and neutrons. Of you subtract the atomic number, you get protons.
