Organisms are constantly interacting with their environment. Sometimes this interaction has a positive effect on the environment
, other times a negative impact. Beetles in the forest infest and eat limbs of trees that have fallen to the forest floor. The best way to describe the beetles impact is to say that A) they are having a neutral impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.
B) they are having a positive impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.
C) they are having a negative impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.
D) they are having a predatory impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.
The correct answer is option B) i.e. they are having a positive impact on the environment by acting as decomposers.
By acting as decomposers beetles are helping in recycling of nutrients between biotic (organisms) and abiotic factors (enviroment). So, it may be considered as positive impact on the environment. Decomposers play a very important role in food chains and food webs. They breakdown biomolecules and liberate the micronutrients and micronutrients as inorganic molecules back to the environment. These inorganic molecules are used by plants once again to synthesize biomolecules. This is how nutrient cycle operates with the help of decomposers. For example, protein molecules of dead and decaying matter are broken down by decomposers to liberate nitrogen gas to the environment which is utilized by leguminous plants to make protein molecules again.
The F1 offspring of Mendel's classic pea plant crosses always looked like one of the two parental varieties because he crossed a homozygous dominant plant with a homozygous recessive plant so each plant received one recessive allele and one dominant allele. All of the plants looked like one plant because the dominant allele overshadowed the recessive allele
