Sidana [21]3 years ago

Carbon fixation is the process of conversion in which carbon-dioxide (inorganic carbon) converts into organic compounds with the help of living organisms and example of this process is photosynthesis.

From the definition, it is confirmed that there is no formation of carbon dioxide takes place i.e. carbon doesn't joined with oxygen molecules.

Thus, carbon fixation is the process in which carbon atoms are added to the molecules of hydrogen and oxygen to make carbohydrates.

The work function is the energy that must be supplied to cause the release of an electron from a photoelectric material. The cor
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

No photoelectric effect is observed for Mercury.

Explanation:

From E= hf

h= Plank's constant

f= frequency of incident light

Threshold Frequency of mercury= 435×10^3/ 6.6×10^-34 × 6.02×10^23

f= 11×10^14 Hz

The highest frequency of visible light is 7.5×10^14. This is clearly less than the threshold frequency of mercury hence no electron is emitted from the mercury surface

lana [24]
I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem.  http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html

Normal setting:
Species        Pop. size
Blue heron   Medium
Perch            Medium
Bass              Medium
Minnows      Medium
Inverts          Medium
Algae           Medium

If PERCH population size decreases, 
Species        Pop. sizeBlue heron   LowPerch            LowBass              MediumMinnows      HighInverts          HighAlgae           Low

As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
