What do you mean by ecosystem?An ecosystem consists of all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. These biotic and abiotic components are interconnected through nutrient cycles and energy flows. Energy enters the system through photosynthesis and is incorporated into the plant tissue.
The term "ecosystem" was first used in 1935 in a publication by British environmentalist Arthur Tansley. The term was coined by Arthur Roy Clapham, who coined the word at Tansley's request.
The main ecosystem types are forest, desert, rainforest, grassland, tundra, savanna, and mountain ecosystems.

Jamie notices some small objects floating at the bottom of a sample of pond water he collected. He is trying to decide if these objects are living. He drops a small amount of alcohol nearby, and the objects move in the opposite direction. What characteristic of living things is Jamie testing
Answer:
Irritability
Explanation:
Living things have been said to contain or possess certain characteristics that qualifies them to be "LIVING". These characteristics include; movement, respiration, growth, irritability, reproduction etc. The characteristics described in this question is IRRITABILITY.
IRRITABILITY is the ability of a living thing to respond to external or internal stimulus. In this case where Jamie drops a small amount of alcohol nearby a sample of pond water he collected, he notices that the small objects move towards the opposite side. This means that the objects are RESPONDING to a stimuli, which is the ALCOHOL in this case. Hence, irritability is the characteristics being tested.
What challenges do Arctic areas face as a result of global warming? 2) What measures could help deal with the problem? 3) What do you predict will happen to Arctic ecosystems if no measures are taken to reverse the problem of global warming? Explain your reasoning. 4) Which measures do you think are most important to pursue?
Answer:
Global warming is defined as the environmental issue that leads to long term heating of the earth due to human activities such as burning of fossil fuels.
1. Arctic areas are facing huge challenges due to global warming that includes rising sea levels, rapid melting of ice, loss of fish stocks, birds and marine mammals, and changes in climate patterns.
2. Measures that help to deal with the problem are reduction in the use of hydrofluorocarbons, cutting emissions of black carbon, methane, reduce overfishing, and reduction of industrial waste.
3. If there will be no measure taken to reverse the problem of global warming in the Arctic ecosystem, it will cause flood and tsunami in the nearby continents due to the rapid melting of ice, changes in climate patterns, and lead to the extinction of many marine animals.
4. Reduction of industrial waste is the most important measure to pursue because industrial waste contributes most of the greenhouse gases and causes air pollution, land pollution, water pollution, and nuclear pollution. So reduction is industrial waste will reduce the emission of harmful gases in the environment that can reduce the impact of global warming.

16. Carbohydrates
17. Lipids
18. Carbohydrates
19. Carbohydrates
20. Lipids
21. Lipids
22. Carbohydrates
23. Lipids
Explanation:
Carbohydrates are organic molecules composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. Carbohydrates can be classified into three types: monosaccharides (e.g. glucose), disaccharides (e.g., lactose), and polysaccharides (e.g., starch). Cellulose is a carbohydrate where many glucose rings chain together, while chitin is a polysaccharide consisting of chains of modified glucose molecules.
Lipids represent a diverse group of organic molecules that include, among others, fats, waxes, oils, hormones, etc. Lipids play a role by insulating (and protecting) the body. For example, there is a layer of fats beneath the skin which enables to maintain body temperature relatively constant. In animals, lipids constitute about 50% of the mass of cell membranes. These membrane lipids are mainly phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. There are hormones that derive from lipids such as steroid hormones, which derive from cholesterol. Some examples of steroid hormones are testosterone, estrogen and cortisol.

What's the function of prop roots?
Explanation:
plays a substantial role in endowing certain plants with extra structural support.
Answer: The roots of a plant function in many different ways, including absorbing nutrients and water, providing anchorage, and acting as a food storage site.
Explanation:
The small intestine exchanges nutrients to help maintain homeostasis. Through the process of digestion, food is broken down into smaller pieces. Sugar is a molecule that supplies our cells with energy. Sugar is a large molecule and is transported through carrier proteins. Sugar molecules are often transported into the bloodstream even when the concentration of glucose is higher in the bloodstream than in the intestine. Based on this scenario, is the transport of glucose accomplished through osmosis, diffusion, or active transport?
Answer:
Diffusion
Explanation:
The sugar is spreading to various places within the body and is trying to make one place less concentrated.
Based on the given scenario,the transport of glucose is accomplished through diffusion.
What is diffusion?
Diffusion is defined as the process of movement of molecules which takes place under concentration gradient. It helps in movement of substances in and out from the cell.The molecules move from lower concentration region to a higher concentration region till the concentration becomes equal.
There are 2 main types of diffusion:
1) simple diffusion-process in which substances move through a semi-permeable membrane without the aid of transport proteins.
2) facilitated diffusion- It is a passive movement of molecules across cell membrane from higher concentration region to lower concentration.
There are 2 types of facilitated diffusion one is osmosis and dialysis.

A food chain in an ecosystem flows from green algae, to freshwater snails, to small fish, and finally to large fish.
The primary consumer would is freshwater snails.
Explanation:
Producers are organisms that produce their own food and not depends on any other organism by the process of photosynthesis such as algae. Primary organisms on the other hand directly depend on the producers for their food and often get killed by secondary consumers.
Freshwater snails are the perfect example of the primary consumer as they get their food and energy from algae and are the primary source of food and energy for small fishes.

Which of the following correctly describes how glucose becomes the product of a chemical reaction?
O Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a solid, and a liquid.
O Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a gas, and a liquid.
O Cellular respiration creates glucose using a gas and a liquid.
O Cellular respiration creates glucose using a solid, and a liquid
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\tt B. \ Photosynthesis \ creates \ glucose \ using \ energy, \ a \ gas,and \ a \ liquid}[/tex]
Explanation:
Glucose is made in the process of photosynthesis. It is used in cellular respiration, but not made. So we can eliminate choices C and D.
Now, let's analyze the photosynthesis equation so we can pick between A and B.
6CO₂+6H₂O+light energy ⇒ C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂
A gas (carbon dioxide), a liquid (water) and energy are used to make glucose and oxygen.
No solids are used, so we can eliminate choice A. We are left with choice B. Photosynthesis creates glucose using energy, a gas, and a liquid.
Buffers are substances that help resist shifts in pH by (From the close reading exercises)
A. releasing H+ to a solution when acids are added.
B. donating H+ to a solution when bases are added.
C. accepting H+ from a solution when acids are added.
D. both donating H+ and accepting H+.
Answer:
Buffers are substances that help resist shifts in pH by both donating H⁺ and accepting H⁺ (option D).
Explanation:
A buffer is a chemical substance capable of balancing the pH of a solution, when the balance is altered by the addition of an acid or a base. They are also called cushioning solution, and can be formed by an acid and its base conjugated, with a specific range of action.
The presence of a buffer in a solution has the ability to release hydrogen ions (H⁺) or accept them, helping to balance the pH, in the presence of a base or an acid, respectively. That is, a buffer can yield H⁺ to a solution when there are few or accept H⁺ when its content is high.
The other options are not correct because:
A. Buffers do not release H+ into a solution when acids are added, but accept them.
B and C. Giving up H+ to a solution when bases are added or accepting H+ from a solution when acids are added are effects that buffers can potentially do, which is described in the text above.

Which form of precipitation would you predict when you see a cloud shaped like a column in the sky during the summer at an above freezing temperature? (2 points)
Group of answer choices:
Heavy rain and hail
Light rain, sleet, and snow
Heavy snow and strong winds
Clear skies with no precipitation
Answer:
light rain sleet and snow
A)
Column shaped clouds usually mean that heavy precipitation is on the way.
A fair amount of the world's precipitation falls as snow or some other solid water form. Actually, outside the tropical regions, it is likely that the much of the precipitation begins in the solid form and only becomes liquid rain when it melts while falling through air with temperatures above freezing.

What are three possible long-term consequences of two species occupying the same niche?
Answer:
one will become extinctone/both will adaptone will migrate to a new locationExplanation:
An ecological niche is the role species has in its environment. This includes how it survives, reproduces, finds shelter, and obtains good. It includes all its interactions with both biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors.
When species occupy the same niche, it means they are competing for the same resources. This is not sustainable. Eventually, one of three things are likely to happen:
one species will die out (become extinct) because they are being outcompeted by the more successful species, and will struggle to survive without adequate food and sheltereither one or both species will have to adapt to occupy another similar niche by, for example, exploiting a new food source in the area.either one or both species will have to migrate to a new area to occupy a different geographical area and new resources.The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.
Answer: The species that is being excluded from the niche can either adapt in the long term to occupy another similar niche, migrate to a new area, or it can die out.
