Julie’s town uses single-stream recycling, so Julie puts all of her household recyclables in a single container to be picked up.

The recycling plant must sort out the different materials, including paper, cardboard, different types of plastic, glass bottles and jars, aluminum drink cans, and steel food cans.
How would an electromagnet be used in this type of recycling plant?

to remove plastic bottles from glass bottles
to divide food cans from soft-drink cans
to separate paper from cardboard
to gather colored glass from colorless glass

Answer:

to divide food cans from soft-drink cans      

Explanation:

An electromagnet is based on the principle that current through a coil produces magnetic field. Magnetic objects such as Iron, nickel, cobalt or objects made from their combination are attracted by the magnet. This property is used to separate materials in recycling plant.

Steel (alloy of iron)  would be attracted by the magnet where as aluminium would not be. Thus, steel food cans can be separated from the aluminium soft-drink cans using an electromagnet.

1. Which of the following correctly compares the changes that take place in an ecosystem during primary succession and secondary
mr Goodwill [35]
The correct answers are as follows:
1. A.
There are basically two types of succession, they are primary and secondary succession. Primary succession refers to the type of succession that occurs in new and bare areas where the soil present is unable  to sustain the growth of plants. An example of primary succession area is an area with sand dunes that is freshly formed. Primary succession usually occur over a long period of time. Secondary succession is a type of succession that occur on a land which was disturbed by  hazardous events such as fire outbreak, flood, etc. Secondary succession occurs much faster than the primary succession.

2. D
There are two types of factors that affect any particular ecosystem, these are abiotic and biotic factors. The abiotic factors refers to non living factors such as temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, etc. while the biotic factors refer to the living factors. Looking at the options given above, one will see that only option D has living factor, which is predators. All other options have abiotic factors.

How do chemosyntheic organisms get energy
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

Chemosynthesis is a process by which energy is derived via the microbial mediation of certain chemical reactions. The source of energy for chemosynthesis is energy liberated from a chemical reaction (the oxidation of an inorganic substance) rather than energy harvested from sunlight or other light.

Explain how and why different parts of a plant are sinks for the translocation of sucrose at different times of the year in a co
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

The sucrose is transported around the plant in phloem vessels. It needs to be able to reach all cells in the plant so that the sucrose can be converted back into glucose for respiration. The movement of sucrose and other substances like amino acids around a plant is called translocation .

Belowground organs of plants (e.g. roots and rhizomes) are sinks during plant growth since they cannot perform photosynthesis. Some organs are both a source and sink. Leaves are sinks when growing and sources when photosynthesizing
