Producers and Decomposers are the minimum requirements for an ecosystem to recycle nutrients.

Nutrient cycle is the movement of the nutrients from the physical environment into the living organisms and then back to the physical environment. Nutrient cycle involves both living as well as non-living components including biological, chemical and environmental interactions and processes.

By the process of obtaining food for energy the biotic factors are grouped as: producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers.

Producers and decomposers are the most important factors which contribute in recycling the nutrients. Producers use the nutrients from physical environment through the process of photosynthesis and decomposers return back the nutrients into the physical environment as they obtain their food or energy by decaying or breaking down the dead remains of organisms chemically. Producers begin the food chain followed by consumers and then decomposers.

D. 6

E. 2

F. 1

Explanation:

1. Integumentary system.

This is an organ system that consists of hair, skin, nails and exocrine glands with receptors that senses the outer stimulus and environmental conditions, through homeostasis maintain stability of the internal environment.

2. Nervous system.

It receives sensory information and signals, convert them to nerve impulses that are transmitted to the body and brain via the spinal cord using nuerons and axons. It also intergrates, retains and analyses information in the brain.

3.Endocrine system.

Secretes hormones and chemicals in response to stimulus from the nervous system to maintain balance using feedback loops i.e, negative and positive.

4. Lymphatic system.

Part of the immune system that consist of vessels that carries lymph, cleaning the blood by filtering lymph with foreign particles into the lymph node.

5. Urinary system.

Used to eliminate waste from the body, regulates blood pressure, volume and pH. It also used to retain electrolytes and metabolites.

6. Respiratory system.

Used for gaseous exchange using the blood, heart and lungs. Air enters the lungs, transported by blood and is pumped by the heart to all body parts where oxygen is dropped, carbon dioxide is collected by the veins to the lungs and released to the atmosphere.

Which of the following statements about eutrophication is TRUE?

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

C. It is driven by natural processes like rock weathering and nitrogen fixation.

Explanation:

It has been discovered that eutrophication occurs through a gradual increase in the deposition of phosphorus and nitrogen and other plants nutrients in the water bodies.

This will allow the maximum growth of algae on the surface of the water.

It has been discovered that eutrophication is not good for the water bodies. This is because, the excess growth of algae on the surface of the water will prevent the sunlight from penetrating the water, thereby preventing the plants inside the water from making use of the sunlight to carryout photosynthesis. Also, it will prevent oxygen from entering, thereby depriving the organisms in the water from having the necessary oxygen needed for respiration.
