The correct answer is bacteria. Bacteria abundant in soil is the main source of its organic matter. This is because bacteria release energy in their systems which causes the soil to be more fertile and more capable of sustaining plant material. Without bacteria general processes of soil formation will not be possible.

Plants are the main source of organic matter in soil. Animals and microorganisms also contribute. Microorganisms, including fungi, bacteria, and single celled protozoans, play an active role in decomposing dead plants and animals. Because organic material releases nutrients when it decays, it contributes to soil fertility. Some bacteria also aid soil fertility in the nitrogen cycle. The bulk of organic matter originates from plants.

What might happen within an ecosystem if the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits?
ozzi
If the snake population runs out of small animals to eat such as mice or rabbits then the snakes would starve and die unless they could move to another habitat. All of the other animals in the food web would also die due to their lack of food supplies. The populations of the consumers would fall as the population of the producer fell.

What are some direct and indirect substances produced as a result of photosynthesis?
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, "light", and sunthesis, "putting together". In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, most algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.
