Answer: Fungi

Fungi is a group of organisms belonging to kingdom Fungi. These are eukaryotic organisms. They are saprophtic organisms, which means they drive their food and nourishment by decaying dead and decaying organisms. They cannot synthesize their own food by photosynthesis as they do not possess pigment chlorophyll like plants, which traps sunlight energy for photosynthesis. The cell wall of fungi is made up of chitin.

The organism feeding on the wooden log is fungus. They are able to degrade lignin component of the wood into simpler compound, which is used as a source of nourishment.

Answer: Fungi

Explanation:

The given observation states that the organism is Eukaryotic in nature they are neither archaea nor bacteria since they are prokaryotic organism.

They cannot perform photosynthesis so they are not plants. The presence of cell wall states that they are not animal as animals lack cell wall.

Hence, all the observations leads to the conclusion that the organism is fungi like protists as they have cell wall, canmot photosynthesize and are eukaryotes.

They feed on dead organism and absorbs nutrients from them to make it available in the soil. It feeds on the wooden log and degrades it by enzymes making it available in the soil.

The correct answer is letter A, the increased nitrates from the fertilizers leech into the water and cause algal blooms, which take oxygen out of the water and this suffocates fish.

This is one of the many chain reactions that agricultural farming brings to the environment, and it will be very common through the years as people have not figured out a safer way to protect crops.

How are the diverse living organisms within a biome dependent upon each other and the nonliving parts of their environment? Give
Basile [38]
An example that shows how organisms are dependent on each other would using a food chain as an example.
• mouse eat grass and drink water ( which is nonliving)
• mouse gets eaten by fox
• then fox then eaten by coyote and the cycle continues
However is one of these organisms have low population it will be difficult for the others. For example if there is a low population of coyotes then the fox population over populate same goes for if fox are low in population then the mouses become over populated hence diseases could spread from the mouses. The organisms must keep each other in check
