Predator-prey relationship examples in the marine

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: Seastars prey on mussels and shellfish which would otherwise have no other natural predators. Herbivorous fish like the butterflyfish pictured to the left prey on marine algae. Without this crucial predator-prey balance, the algae would over-grow, which would then kill coral, as they compete for the same resources.

Which of the following radiations consists of a helium nucleus emitted by some radioactive substances? Alpha radiation Beta radi

erica [24]

Answer: Alpha radiation

Explanation: Alpha decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing alpha radiation, the mass number and atomic number is reduced by 4 and 2 units respectively.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z-2}^{A-4}Y+_2^4\textrm{He}$

Beta decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing beta radiation, the atomic number is increased by 1 unit.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}\rightarrow _{Z+1}^{A}Y+_{-1}^0e$

Gamma decay : When a larger radioactive nuclei decays into smaller nuclei by releasing gamma radiation, the mass number remains same.

$_Z^A\textrm{X}^*\rightarrow _Z^A\textrm{X}+_0^0\gamma$

Which subatomic particle is important in chemical building and helps determine chemical properties

Ann [662]

Explanation:

Since Z is EXPLICITLY determined by the number of protons, massive, positively charged particles, present in the element's nucleus, the proton must be the greatest determinant. Of course, it is the electrons that actually do the chemistry, but Z defines the element.

The amount of energy released from a fission reaction is much greater than the energy released from a chemical reaction because

creativ13 [48]

This is the case because in a fission reaction you are essentially having a particle or neutron split apart and or interact with an unstable nuclei, causing smaller nuclei to form upon the collision, which would most likely cause a chain reaction to occur, since a great deal of energy is involved in breaking apart the nuclei, more energy would be released if this is done, compared to electrons being transferred to form chemical bonds, or causing electrons to be dislodged from a chemical covalent bond.
