Answer: The average kinetic energy in an object or substance tells us its mass. Kinetic energy has a direct relationship with mass, meaning that as mass increases so does the kinetic energy of an object. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
decline: decrease
Explanation:
Transpiration is the loss of water from stomata by the process of evaporation. It occurs by the process of diffusion and is driven by the concentration gradient of water vapor. The higher the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells, the higher is the rate of diffusion of water. 
On a sunny day, the rate of transpiration is higher since air is less humid and the concentration of water inside the leaf is higher. On the other hand, the air is more humid on a rainy day. The increased water vapor content of air reduces the concentration gradient between air and leaf cells. The reduced concentration gradient decreases the rate of transpiration.

A long, wet season results in additional earthworms in a robin habitat.
Explanation:
A long, wet season resulting in additional earthworms in a robin habitat will not lead to competition in an ecosystem or area. 
Competition between organisms is the struggle for limited resources in the environment that are beneficial to all lives. 
- Competition is usually driven by shortages and lack of resources to make life better in the ecosystem. 
- When resources becomes depleted and are in limited amount organisms will begin to strive among on another to develop advantages that would make them top out. 
- A long, wet season resulting in the introduction of additional earthworms in a robin habitat is not an example of competition. 
- The earthworms available is a limiting factor and this has been circumvented by the introduction of more earthworms during the prolonged wet season.

Answer: Viruses, although not living things, do show some characteristics that they are living. Because they can't reproduce by themselves (without a host), viruses are not considered living. They are made of proteins and glycoproteins like cells are. They contain genetic information needed to produce more viruses in the form of DNA or RNA. 
They are acellular, that is, they contain no cytoplasm or cellular organelles. They carry out no metabolism on their own and must replicate using the host cell's metabolic machinery.
