Option D (E)

<h3>What are Decomposers?</h3>

Decomposers are organisms present at the end of the food chain. These are organisms responsible for acting on the dead and decaying organic matter left out by other organisms and converting them into inorganic matter or simply into nutrient-rich soil.

<h3>Role of Decomposers</h3>

They help in making nutrients available to the primary producers. In a food chain or food web, they are usually present at the last and complete the life cycle. Decomposers in the case of the terrestrial ecosystems are usually microscopic organisms like <u>fungi, bacteria, or invertebrates like earthworms and millipedes</u> which are responsible for decomposing dead and decaying material.

So, in this particular terrestrial ecosystem, the species at the end of the food web (E) is most likely the decomposer as it ends the food web.

Marrrta [24]
In this Josephine is correct. While red will most commonly occur, if the 'r' is there then under Mendel's rules, a 3 to 1 ratio will appear. Ie for ever 3 red flowers, one flower will be the other colour.

Which phrases describe air pressure? Select three options.
9966 [12]
  • decreases as altitude increases
  • results from a column of air pushing on an area
  • decreases due to fewer air particles pushing down

Pressure is the force exerted, by a substance, per unit area.

Explanation:

Pressure is given by the formulae;

P = F/ A

Whereby;

P = pressure

F = Force

A = area

Remember that ..

F = Ma

Whereby;

F = Force

M = mass

a = acceleration

Therefore pressure can be given as;

P = Ma / A

The mass of the above column of a substance multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity = pressure exerted by the substance.

How is a carrier shown in a pedigree?
liraira [26]

Answer: Pedigrees can show someone is a carrier for diseases by determining which parent, if not both, is either dominant or recessive. Each child must have a letter from their parent then that will determine if someone gets a disease or not then it goes on from generation to generation. However, they can be carriers of the trait, and if they are carriers, their male children will be colorblind. On a pedigree, carriers are represented either by a half-shaded symbol or a shaded dot in the middle of the symbol.  brainliest??

What amino acid property makes proteins highly functional
sasho [114]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - structure of protein and conformation of the R group of the particular amino acid.

Explanation:

The functional properties such as solubility, color, water retention and absorption, texture, foam formation, curdling and other are decided and depends on the structure of the protein and make up of the R-group attached to particular amino acid.

Each amino acid has a single conformation different from other amino acid and which is extremely stable, this unique conformation has its chemical properties that helps in proteins to perform certain and particular catalytic and structural function.

Thus, the correct answer is - structure of protein and conformation of the R group of the particular amino acid.
