MICRO-ECONOMICS ASSIGNMENT Q(1) Explain and illustrate with diagrams the differences between diminishing marginal returns and decreasing economies of scale and cite causes and examples. Ans. The law of diminishing returns is also called the law of variable proportion‚ as the proportions of each factor of production employed keep changing as more of one factor is added. The law of diminishing returns does not imply that adding more of a factor will decrease the total production‚ a condition

SOLAR ENERGY INTRODUCTION SOLAR ENERGY is the radiant energy that we receive from the sun in the form of heat and light. It is an inexhaustible source of energy. Solar Energy is the ultimate source of most of the sources of energy that we use. The wind energy‚ water energy‚ energy of fossil fuels and the energy in food are due to solar energy. SOURCE OF SOLAR ENERGY The discovery of radioactivity led some scientists to suggest that the energy released during radioactive decay of radioactive

Acidification on Marine Ecosystems Ocean acidification is the ongoing warming and decreasing of pH in the earths water supply (Gray et al. 2016; PMEL 2017). The acidification is caused from the increase in carbon dioxide concentration within the earths atmosphere. The carbon dioxide then reacts with the water to produce carbonic acid and carbonate ions thus‚ decreasing the pH. Ocean acidification affects the ecology of everything on this planet. Mainly‚ the marine ecosystems and small organisms take a large

[Energy resources]: The 2 broad types Pros and Cons of each type Ways in which they are harnessed There two main types of energy these are: 1. Potential energy 2. Kinetic energy Potential energy Potential energy is energy stored due to position. The following are some example in which potential energy can be found. 1. Wound-up spring When a spring of a dock work toy car unwinds‚ the stored energy in the spring drives the wheels and the car moves. The wound-up spring is said to posse potential

Adenosine Triphosphate‚ also known as ATP‚ is the molecule responsible for the energy that we‚ and all other organisms‚ need to survive. It is produced primarily in the processes of aerobic and anaerobic respiration by oxidative and substrate phosphorylation. 4 molecules of ATP are produced from 4 ADP and 4 inorganic phosphates in glycolysis in the cytoplasm of every cell‚ by the oxidation of a triose phosphate into two molecules of pyruvate. In anaerobic respiration these are the only 4 ATP

The Ball Python is an important organism in many ecosystems. The snake helps out a lot in all ecosystems around them by different ways they live. The food web of the snakes and other organisms in an ecosystem helps to show how the snakes live in their habitats and help make a community. Snakes are simple animals. These non-venomous constrictors use their forked tongue to detect different odors from their prey. The Ball Python strikes with great velocity and kills by constriction. The snake’s diet
