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.

statuscvo [17]

To convert to scientific notation, start by moving the decimal place in the number until you have a coefficient between 1 and 10; here it is 3.45. The number of places to the left that you had to move the decimal point is the exponent. Here, we had to move the decimal 4 places to the right, so the exponent is -4.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Appropriately named, <u>slow pain </u>oftentimes is not detected until seconds or even minutes after an injury; this is due to the activation of chemically sensitive pain receptors.

Explanation:

According to physiology of pain, slow pain arises when unmyelinated C fibers of the muscles are activated. This is pronounced as a dull and aching pain and is more diffuse in nature rather than fast pain which are more acute and rapid.

Most of the times this pain will not be detected immediately after the stimulus like an injury but may start slowly.

Slow pain can also be burning, throbbing or even nauseous. Chronic pain conditions mostly are characterized by slow pain.

Slow pain is elicited by stimuli like mechanical, chemical or thermal which are received by the chemically sensitive pain receptors on the skin or other organs of the body.
