Answer:
As the volume of available water increases, the rate of decomposition also increases. Many decomposers secrete enzymes onto decaying matter and then absorb any dissolved molecules and sunlight allows things to grow out of decomposers allowing faster decomposition from the plant absorbing the other nutrients from the things in the decomposer making the soil rich and fertile.
Answer: diffusion
Explanation:
Diffusion is the over all movement of molecules from one region where it is in high concentration to another another region where it is in lower concentration.
This movement continues until the concentration of both regions are equal. Smaller non polar molecules are able to diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the membrane .
Movement through the membrane is dependent on the concentration gradient, that is the difference in concentration between the two areas.
It is also dependent on the size of the molecule
Answer:
Abiotic components of an ecosystem are water, air, light, soil, and temperature.
Now think about how the availability of these things will affect what could live in a specific area.
Consider a desert ecosystem. Deserts are arid, receiving little rain (water) and have extreme temperatures (both cold and hot). Because of these conditions only certain plants and animals can live here. These plants and animals have adaptations that are specific to the environment. If you were to put an organism that does not belong in there, they would most likely die out.
Tidbit for you. The Atacama desert is one of the driest places in the world, located specifically in Chile. At one point, this place did not receive any rain for 500 years! Still plants and animals are able to live in this area. When it finally did rain, the sudden downpour caused a radical change in this ecosystem. You would think at first rain would be good, but no. Because the changes the rain brought was too drastic, it caused a devastating effect on the organisms that lived there because they were not adapted to rain.
Answer:
MNP stands for the most probable number which is used for finding out the concentration of viable bacteria in a sample. It is commonly used to check the quality of water and its safety. Usually, the presence of fecal coliform bacteria is checked in this test.
Principle of MNP: The sample which is to be tested is diluted serially and then inoculated into a broth medium containing lactose. If coliforms are present in the tube than it will consume lactose and release acid and gas.
Color change represents acid production and gas trapped in the Durham tube represents the gas production by bacteria. Then the number of tubes at each dilution that showed positive results are compared with standards to determine the most probable number of the bacteria.
The movement of matter across a cell membrane against a concentration difference is called an Active Transport.
