Organisms that break down waste products and dead organisms and return raw material back to the environment are called microbes. Microbes are very important part of our ecosystem. Some fertilizers are unfortunately killing the microbes that actually help our environment. Steps should be taken to minimize use of such chemicals as much as possible.

What is meant by materials management?

Materials management deals with a supply chains tangible components. It is a branch of logistics that tracts, moves and also stores the material for maximum return.


Does hooke's law apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?

Hooke's law applies to elastic materials, which means that the material will return to its original shape when the deforming force is removed. Inelastic materials do not follow Hooke's law as they do not exhibit linear elasticity.


What are elastic properties?

Elasticity is a physical propery of materials which permit the return to the initial state after the cessation of a deforming action.


What are the examples of elastic materials?

steel cables, rubber bands, springs and lycra clothes


What are some examples of elastic materials?

Rubber bands, bungee cords, and elastic waistbands in clothing are examples of elastic materials. These materials can deform under stress and return to their original shape once the stress is removed due to their elastic properties.


Are you obligated to return bookkeeping materials as a subcontractor when you have not been paid for the work done?

You are required to return any materials that belong to your client but not any work that you have done. If the client provided you with a copy of his accounting software file, for instance, return a copy of that same file. You are not required to give him a copy of the file that includes the work that you have done. That copy belongs to you. In short, give him anything that he gave you...nothing more.


How do organisms in an ecosystem depend on detritivores?

Detritivores decompose organic materials in an ecosystem and return the nutrients to the soil, air, and water.


Why do you have to check library materials in and out?

The materials cost the library money. Too many people don't want to buy their own books so they will often times not return the books to the library. The only way to maintain the materials and information on who borrows them is to have the items checked out with return dates. Library materials are checked in and out for a number of reasons. First and foremost so that the library knows who has the item(s) at any time. Secondly, checking an item in and out enables a library to know which items are going out and how often they are.


These materials are smart because they can return to their original shape when heated and used by surgeons to hold broken bones while healing?

What are the effects of force exerted on different materials?

The effects of force exerted on different materials can vary based on their properties. For example, ductile materials like metals can deform under force, while brittle materials may fracture. Elastic materials deform temporarily and return to their original shape once the force is removed, while plastic materials undergo permanent deformation.


What is bio-degradable and non-bio-degradable?

Biodegradable materials will rot, weather, or rust and 'return to nature'. Wood, paper, and even most metals are biodegradable to various degrees. Nonbiodegradable materials will not break down naturally. Most plastics and synthetic materials are nonbiodegradable.


What is the ability to be stretched?

The ability to be stretched is referred to as elasticity. It describes the property of materials to return to their original shape and size after being stretched or deformed. Materials like rubber and certain types of metals exhibit high elasticity.
