Cadaver Decomposition Island

-  When a body is buried directly in the soil, then it is subject to decomposition by insects and microorganisms. 

<span>- </span>During this process, a self-digestion of the cells occurs as well as anaerobic decomposition of animal proteins resulting in a release of various chemical components.

<span>- </span>This nutrient-rich fluid is trapped in the soil matrix for a long period of time resulting in the formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island

<span>- The formation of Cadaver Decomposition Island is associated with increased microbial biomass and activity.</span>

<span>The question says,'decomposition of plants and animal matter present in the soil is largely due to soil micro organism. The statement is true.

What mass of water in grams will fill a fish tank 100 cm long, 50 cm wide, and 30 cm high?
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

150,000cm^3, or 1,500m^3

Explanation:

The question is basically asking the volume of this rectangular tank.

The formula to find the volume is length x width x height.

This is because we're trying to find the area of the base (length x width), and then we're multiplying the base times the height, to get how much of the base area can fit in the height of the rectangle.

So, the answer is 100cm x 50cm x 30cm = 150,000cm^3, or 1,500m^3, because 1 meter = 100 centimeters.

<h2>Tropomyosin</h2>

Explanation:

This protein is most likely:  Tropomyosin.

Sacromere is the structural unit of myofibrils i.e. the fibres of the muscles.

Tropomyosin is the muscle protein that function in contraction of muscle filaments.They are arranged laterally along the myofilament. When the researcher is observing the sacromere, she is observing the muscle fibre.  So, the protein that lines the periphery along the thin filament is more likely to be tropomysin.
