What else can I help you with?
Are chemo synthesizing archaea primary consumers?
Chemo-synthesizing archaea are not primary consumers because they do not consume organic matter produced by other organisms. Instead, they use inorganic compounds to produce energy through chemosynthesis. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers (plants or algae) as their source of energy.
Is water a organism?
No. Organisms require organic material in them (though that alone is not sufficient). Water, on the other hand, is an inorganic compound.
Are rocks organic or inorganic?
Rocks are classified as inorganic because they are composed of minerals and do not contain carbon-based molecules associated with living organisms. Organic materials, on the other hand, are derived from living organisms and typically consist of carbon and other elements.
What energy can travel though matter as waves?
UV rays
Are ecosystems transformers of matter and energy?
In an ecosystem the reactions going on are chemical reactions, and the total weight of the substances involved remains constant. Matter is only destroyed in nuclear reactions such as the fission of uranium, which does not happen in a normal ecosystem. Energy is transformed though, for example the sun's energy is absorbed by plants making them grow.
What are difference between organic and inorganic matter?
In general organic compounds / substances / materials contain carbon atoms bonded with other atoms and/or those related to life. It is the chemistry of carbon containing compounds. Inorganic is everything else and generally do not contain carbon (with some exceptions).
Difference between organic and inorganic animals?
Organic animals are living organisms that are composed of organic compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. Inorganic animals, however, do not exist as animals in the traditional sense, as animals are by definition organic beings. Inorganic substances can have animal-like structures or functions, but they are not considered animals.
How does energy get into an ecosystem?
begins at the sun, where primary producers (plants) convert it into usable energy by photsynthesis.
Are electrons energy?
No. They are particles. However, when an electron is moving through space it HAS energy. Since an electron has mass it can not be considered to be pure energy. ------------------------------------ Yes they are energy. Energy is the ulimatum and only form energy matter comes out and matter is defined as the one which occupies space. Mass is the quantity of matter contained in a body. Hence though electron is massive particle it has come out of energy.
Difference in an organic compound and an inorganic compound?
Basically, organic compounds have carbon. Inorganic do not (though there are some exceptions).
Can someone explain spontaneous generation in a way a 13year old may understand?
A refuted concept that basically stated that organisms could be generated from inorganic, or organic matter. Such as rotten meat giving rise to maggots. Experimentally refuted by Louis Pasture in the 19th century. ( had nothing to do with abiogenesis, though creationists like to think so )
Is a frog a autotrophic?
No, a frog is not a plant so therefore it can not create its own food/energy. That would be cool if it could though...
