Answer:

Industrial agriculture promote farming techniques that are ecologically destructive by using fertilizers and using processed feeds to feed the animals. Fertilizers contain harmful chemicals that may not be seen on the plants since its main function is to kill the pests that eats the plants. What makes it destructive is when the particles of the fertilizer is mixed with water and then leached into the soil into the water table. The once pure water table is now contaminated. The accumulation of various chemicals from the pesticide can cause the death of aquamarine life and even humans. Also, it can destroy the components of the soil overtime because it can interact with other compounds found in the soil to create a harmful product.

a 24 kg rock containing 3,528 j of potential energy rests upon the edge of a cliff how tall is the cliff
GenaCL600 [577]
Potential gravitational energy is computed with the formula:

PEgrav=mgh

Where:
PEgrav = Potential gravitation energy (J)
m = mass (kg)
h = height (m)
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s^2) 

Take note that acceleration due to gravity is a constant. 

All you need to do is put in what you know and solve for what you don't know. So your given is the following:
PEgrav = 3,528J
m = 24 kg
g = 9.8 m/s^2
Put that into your formula:
PEgrav=mgh
3,528J = (24kg)(9.8m/s^{2})(h)
3,528J = (235.2kg.m/s^{2})(h)
\frac{3,528J}{235.2kg.m/s^{2}} = h
15m=h

The height of the cliff is 15m.

Why were Archaea and Bacteria grouped together by biologists until recently?
Norma-Jean [14]
Archaea and Bacteria were grouped together because they were both Prokaryotes since they had no nucleus. Scientists then realized they were different because archaea can live in extreme environments, and bacteria can't.

Which characteristic distinguishes viruses from microorganisms such as bacteria and amoebae?
Lunna [17]

Answer:Explanation: Viruses are acellular organisms and although they do not have cells, they are extremely dependent on these structures, since they do not have their own metabolism and do not have any organelles. Viruses can only reproduce within a host cell other than fungi and bacteria

Which of the following is a good predictor of biodiversity in terrestrial ecosystems?
finlep [7]

The correct answer is - predator species in a community.

In the terrestrial ecosystems, a very good and usually sure predictor of the biodiversity is the existence of a predator species. The more predator species there are, the higher the biodiversity, and vice versa, the less predator species, the lesser the biodiversity.

The reason why the predators are such a good predictor of the biodiversity is that they are the species that are on the top of the food chain. That means that the predators are dependent for their survival on all the other species bellow them in the food chain, which is pretty much all species apart from themselves.

If a predator is present, than there has to be pray. If there's pray, omnivores and herbivores, than there has to be plants. All of the organisms are connected to one another, and the ones on the top of the food chain are the most dependent on the others, thus their existence usually means a healthy ecosystem with higher biodiversity.
