What do "decomposers" do?

a)

Sink means to go down. So "carbon sink" refers to anything that makes atmospheric CO2 levels decrease. Trees, soil, and the ocean are all carbon sinks.

b)

If y and x look like they move together, there's said to be a correlation. If other evidence suggests that changes in x are definitely causing changes in y, then the relationship is causal. But not all correlations are causal because there could be some third thing out there that's causing changes in x and y.

c)

Increases in global temperature are expected to disrupt ocean circulations. So areas like England that benefit from warmth arriving in ocean currents from the equator (where it's way warmer), will no longer receive that warm water from the current, and England will be colder than before.

d)

they cycle nutrients through an ecosystem by breaking down dead organic matter into useable nutrients

32.

Why are there fewer tertiary consumers than producers or primary consumers in an ecosystem?

a)

The balance between energy that flows into and out of the planet and its systems.

b)

Tertiary consumers have the shortest lifespans- typically only a few days.

c)

because tertiary consumers get energy only after primary and secondary consumers eat and use energy

d)

Sink means to go down. So "carbon sink" refers to anything that makes atmospheric CO2 levels decrease. Trees, soil, and the ocean are all carbon sinks.

a)

glucose

35.

Explain how the atmosphere helps stabilize a planet's climate.

a)

Sink means to go down. So "carbon sink" refers to anything that makes atmospheric CO2 levels decrease. Trees, soil, and the ocean are all carbon sinks.

b)

Climate is largely affected by the amount of heat energy available at the surface of the planet. The atmosphere contributes to this energy through how much sunlight it lets in, and how much heat it allows to radiate back into space, and these properties are determined by the chemical composition of the atmosphere.

c)

If y and x look like they move together, there's said to be a correlation. If other evidence suggests that changes in x are definitely causing changes in y, then the relationship is causal. But not all correlations are causal because there could be some third thing out there that's causing changes in x and y.

d)

Increases in global temperature are expected to disrupt ocean circulations. So areas like England that benefit from warmth arriving in ocean currents from the equator (where it's way warmer), will no longer receive that warm water from the current, and England will be colder than before.
