Answer:

"No man is an island.” This saying is also true for organisms in an ecosystem. No organism exists in isolation.  Individual organisms live together in an ecosystem and depend on one another.  In fact, they have many different types of interactions with each other, and many of these interactions are critical for their survival.

So what do these interactions look like in an ecosystem? One category of interactions describes the different ways organisms obtain their food and energy. Some organisms can make their own food, and other organisms have to get their food by eating other organisms. An organism that must obtain their nutrients by eating (consuming) other organisms is called a consumer, or a heterotroph. While there are a lot of fancy words related to the sciences, one of the great things is that many of them are based on Latin or Greek roots. For example, heterotroph becomes easier to remember when you realize that in Greek, “hetero” means “other” and “troph” means food; in other words, heterotrophs eat other organisms to get their food. They then use the energy and materials in that food to grow, reproduce and carry out all of their life activities. All animals, all fungi, and some kinds of bacteria are heterotrophs and consumers. .

Answer:

Polar bear are found in the Arctic region. The polar bear feed on fishes, insects etc.

The algae undergoes photosynthesis and produces food through this.The algae is a source of food for the fishes in water. The algae makes the fishes grow and develop after providing it with the nutrients needed to do so.

The fishes are then eaten by the polar bear. Without the algae the fishes may starve and the polar bear may starve to death too due lack of preys such as the fish. This cycle makes the algae a very important source of energy.

Answer:

C.) 35

Explanation:

The mass is made up of the total protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons both have a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are not included in this measurement because they have an insignificant mass (practically 0).

(17 protons x 1 amu) + (18 neutrons x 1 amu) = 35 amu

Therefore, if an atom contains 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass should be 35 amu.

Describe the region in model 1 where the highest concentration of hydrogen ion (h + ) is located
neonofarm [45]
<span>THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATION OF HYDROGEN IONS IS LOCATED IN THE INTER-MEMBRANE SPACE. HYDROGEN IONS REACH THE INTER-MEMBRANE SPACE THROUGH PROTEIN CHANNELS EMBEDDED IN THE MITOCHONDRIAL MEMBRANE. THE MAIN FUNCTION OF INTER MEMBRANEIS OXIDATIVE PHOSPHORLATON. ENERGY IS REQUIRED TO MOVE THE HYDROGEN IONS ACROSS THE MEMBRANE BECAUSE THE HYDROGEN IONS ARE MOVING AGAINST THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT. H+ GOES AGAINST THE CONCENTRATION GRADIENT THE USE OF THE GRADIENT TO DRIVE ATP SYNTHASE. HYDOGEN IONS DRIVE ATP SYNTHASE IN PHTOSYNTHESIS. THIS HAPPENS WHEN HYDROGEN IONS GET PUSHED ACROSS THE MEMBRANE CREATING A HIGH CONCENTRATION INSIDE THE THYLAKOID.</span>

In Part A, you found the amount of product (1.80 mol P2O5 ) formed from the given amount of phosphorus and excess oxygen. In Par
Finger [1]

First step is to balance the reaction equation. Hence we get P4 + 5 O2 => 2 P2O5

Second, we calculate the amounts we start with

P4: 112 g = 112 g/ 124 g/mol – 0.903 mol

O2: 112 g = 112 g / 32 g/mol = 3.5 mol

Lastly, we calculate the amount of P2O5 produced.

2.5 mol of O2 will react with 0.7 mol of P2O5 to produce 1.4 mol of P2O5.

This is 1.4 * (31*2 + 16*5) = 198.8 g
