Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A source from which organisms generally take elements is called exchange pool (option B).

Explanation:

Options for this question are:

  • <em>Food web.</em>
  • <em>Exchange pool.</em>
  • <em>Reservoir.</em>
  • <em>Biotic community.</em>

The term exchange pool is related to the biogeochemical cycles that exist in nature, referring to the source from which elements present in the environment become part of living organisms.

<u>Exchange pools are the biotic components</u> -like animals and plants- of an ecosystem, which determine the passage of elements between living beings. An element can remain as a reservoir (abiotic) in the soil, and then be incorporated into the exchange pool.

Please help me I desperately need it
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D) Water temperature decreases; copper temperature increases

Explanation:

The temperature is a way of describing how much heat something has. Because the temperatures of the two substances are not the same, the heat is going to want to travel to the substance with less heat. Therefore, since the copper has less heat than the water, the heat will be transferred to the copper. Remember that this heat is now leaving the water. This increases the temperature of the copper and decreases the temperature of the water.
