The community forms the living‚ or biotic part of the ecosystem. Energy‚ Minerals‚ Nutrients and water from the non-living or abiotic components. 1. Inorganic substances (C‚N‚CO2‚H20 etc) incolved in material cycles. 2. Organic compounds (Proteins‚ Carbohydrates‚ lipids‚ humic substances etc.)

Evaluate the impact of care in the community for adults with Mental Health problems. Care in the community is where a patient is no longer detained nor sectioned within a hospital institution. However‚ there must be at least three practitioners agreeing that it is necessary for the patient to be released into the community. Adults who may suffer from mental health problems can ask to be cared for within the community. Patients and their families are now more educated with a sense of empowerment

Why a Bill of Rights and What Impact Does it Have? All have heard the saying‚ “Great minds think alike.” When many great minds of the colonies gathered to create a new government‚ two rarely thought exactly alike. The Bill of Rights was created through the kind of debate and exchange of ideas that it protects to this day. The Declaration of Independence states the purpose of government is to protect our basic human rights. This was one principle that all the Founders did agree on. But if

Experiment 8.1 Yes there was a change because with the starting snail population there was a great variation from 1-7. After the crab began eating only the snails with the thickest shells survived. The snails with the thinnest shells were eaten by the crab. Only snails with shell thickness 4-7 were left after the crab had their meal. The original snails with thickness 1-3 were eliminated from the population by the crab. The crab will usually try to expend as little enrgy as it can to maximaize its

Discuss the chain of events that led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. Ans> The chain of events led to the discovery of DNA as the heritable substance and the discovery of the structure of DNA. In the late nineteenth century‚ a German biochemist Friedrich Miescher found the nucleic acids which are long-chain polymers of nucleotides‚ and are made up of sugar‚ phosphoric acid‚ and several nitrogen-containing bases. Later it was found

Emulsifiers What does an emulsifier do? Emulsions in food are mixtures of oil and water. These normally do not mix and will separate if left without an emulsifier. Emulsifiers are among the most frequently used types of food additives. They are used for many reasons. Emulsifiers can help to make a food appealing. The example of the mayonnaise without the emulsifier shows how unappealing it would be if the oil and water separated before it was used. Emulsifiers have a big effect on the structure
