Why is a pond a self-sustaining unit while an aquarium may no be so?
Since a pond is a natural ecosystem, it has all the biotic and abiotic components in it and these components are interlinked with eachother for ensuring the survival of the organisms there, hence its a self sustaining unit. Where as, an aquarium is an artifitial ecosystem, it is made by man. So, if any fish or other organisms present in the aquarium die, its dead body will not be acted upon by decomposers cause of its absence. Also there is no sunlight and other abiotic factors, so the survival of the organisms in the aquarium is to be relied upon man who has to ensure the maintenance of the aquarium , so the aquarium is not a self-sustaining unit.
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat?
It is called an exothermic reaction. Example: a burning candle
Substances that enter a reaction are termed?
A substance which enters into a chemical reaction is called a reactant.In a chemical reaction-also called chemical change- one or more reactants (the initial substances that enter into the reaction) change into one or more products (the final substances that are present at the end of the reaction).
Why is the dark reaction called cycle?
RuBP made during the dark reaction is used to start the reaction again. novanet.
When two sugars are combined a water molecule is lost This process is called?
Dehydration Synthesis, also called a condensation reaction, a dehydration reaction or just condensation.
The smallest amount of a fissionable material that will give a self-sustaining chain reactions is called the?
The smallest amount of a fissionable material that will produce a self-sustaining chain reaction is called the critical mass. This mass of affected by geometry and other factors such as temperature, pressure, and moderator.
What is it called when neutrons released from a fission event cause other fission events in a continued self sustaining cascade?
A chain reaction
A Self-sustaining nuclear fission chain reaction is dependent upon the release of what?
Neutrons
Is neutron particle is required both to start and as a product in a fissin reaction?
Yes. That's how the reaction is self-sustaining: The product of one reaction is the reactant for the next.
What causes an increase of speed in a combustion reaction?
There are three things needed for combustion: heat, oxygen, and fuel. After the reaction has started, the production of heat may fuel the reaction, making it self sustaining.
What is the name of a glider plane designed for sustained flight called?
self sustaining sailplane
What is the self-sustaining speed of gas turbine?
self sustaining speed is output of a turbine= input into compressor
Which is the called living things?
Living things refer to anything with self-sustaining biological processes.
What do you mean when you say the fission needs to be self-sustaining?
What you look for in a NPP is a self-sustaining chain reaction, where the original fission releases enough neutrons to cause the rest of the fuel to undergo fission without continuously having to bombard it with more neutrons. But, you don't want the reaction to be uncontrolled - to happen too fast to be able to harness the energy. That is what happens with atomic bombs.
What do you call anything that can live on its own?
it is called a self-sustaining being I believe.
