Scientific INFERENCES are logical conclusions that are drawn from scientific observations. :-)
Answer:
In the carbon cycle, decomposers break down dead material from plants and other organisms and release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, where it's available to plants for photosynthesis.
Explanation:
Answer:
3. B, D
Explanation:
A primary source is an animal that eats only plants. (herbivore) A secondary source is an animal that only eats herbivores (carnivores)
B has birds; which are food for carnivores, and fruits, nuts, and blossoms; which are food for herbivores.
D has vegetables and grains; which are food for herbivores, and meat; which is food for carnivores
The other options have only food for carnivores, or only food for herbivores, so the answer is 3
Answer:
More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.
Explanation:
When plants have a period of dormancy to survive, they store their food as starch. They store enough of this energy so as to be able to restart with and to be able to maintain metabolism for the entire period of dormancy.
In addition, we know that starch is not water soluble, hence, lacks the ability to pull water into storage cells or cause irregularity in water balance. More energy are packed into less space by starch molecules far more than glucose or sucrose yet they are able to release this energy easily, hence maximizing both storage and mobilization.
Glucose is not directly transported by plants to storage. Rather, in a plant stem, the form of carbohydrate being transported is sucrose and this is because it is a non-reducing and does not react with oxygen during transport in the stem to specialized storage plastids.
