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.

Answer:

The correct answer is - Protein molecule.

Explanation:

The cell membrane is the outer membrane of the cell that differentiates the external environment from the internal components of the cell. The cell membrane is made up of two major components that are lipids and proteins.

Proteins are present as channels and in the form of membrane proteins in between the lipid bilayer. Protein is the molecule that denatured or destroyed at high temperatures such as 70 degrees.

How will the change in sea levels affect organisms on earth

mrs_skeptik [129]

Step-by-step explanation:

When sea level change happens it can be decreased OR increased. It mostly happens when global temperatures change. Sometimes the ocean freezes, glaciers melt back into the ocean. It changes because of the amount of water being added or decreasing.
