<span>A
mineral has to be naturally occurring, inorganic, solid, have a crystal
structure, and have a definite chemical composition. Coal is not a
mineral because it is carbon-based and came from fossilized plants. That
proves that it is organic and has no definite chemical composition,
defying two rules you would need to follow to be a mineral. Glass is a
non-crystalline solid. This means that the atoms are not arranged in a
regular and repeating pattern. A mineral by definition possess a
crystalline form, it has its elements arranged in a regular and
repeating pattern.</span>
Answer:
1. Producers create energy for other organisms to consume.
2. It converts sugars to usable energy that all organisms need
Explanation:
All living organisms require energy, which they obtain by feeding on one another in an ecosystem. The series of feeding steps involved is called FOOD CHAIN. Food chain always starts with an organism called PRODUCER, which is an autotroph i.e. capable of producing its own food by using light energy from sunlight e.g plants. All other organisms in the food chain are directly or indirectly dependent on plants to get energy. This is because plants and other autotrophs create the energy that is being transferred as the food chain progresses.
2. Cellular respiration is an important phenomenon for all living organism because it is the metabolic process by which they obtain the usable energy by their cells i.e. ATP. Food molecules in form of sugar (glucose) eaten by organisms are broken down in the presence of oxygen (aerobic) to yield ATP molecules, which is the energy currency of every living cell. This energy is used to perform the organism's life activities.
No because the cell is already dead and it could not survive.
