Answer: D. Fungus growing on dead leaves

Fungi is a class of saprophytic organisms, which means they do not produce their own food but obtain their food by degrading dead and decaying plants and animals. They are valuable decomposers, as they break down decaying matter into simpler substances, that is utilized by the plants. The fungus growing on the dead leaves is an example of the fact that fungi as a decomposers because it will obtain nourishment by degrading the leaf to form it's own fungal colony.

Explain how a carbon atom in a CO2 molecule in the air can become part of a cellulose molecule in a plant

Kay [80]

Your carbon atom enters the leaf as CO2 (carbon dioxide) from the atmosphere. In the leaf, chlorophyll uses the energy from the sun to convert CO2 and H2O to the sugar glucose, C6H12O6. Your carbon atom is part of this molecule; it is now one of the carbons in the glucose. 
Next, the glucose carrying your carbon atom is sent down the phloem tissue of the carrot plant to the root, which is the carrot itself. Enzymes in the carrot root connect the glucose molecule with your carbon atom into a chain with other glucose molecules, forming cellulose, or plant starch, and there you go. Your carbon atom went from being part of an atmospheric gas to a starch via photosynthesis and starch formation in the root.

The amount of matter in the Earth system remains constant over time. The forms and locations of the matter stored within the sys

Burka [1]

The correct answer is all of these.

Matter and energy on Earth are never destroyed or created out of nothing, but just transferred or converted to another form.
The inorganic matter is transferred to the living things from the physical environment by many biological processes like photosynthesis ( CO2), nitrogen fixation, absorption of the minerals by plant roots and many more.
Matter can then be transferred between different organisms through the food chain.
Eventually, the matter will return to the physical environment when organisms decompose and the cycle will start again.

What is one reason why the classification of protists in one kingdom is difficult?

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

B. Protists more closely resemble members of other eukaryotic kingdoms than they do other protists.

Explanation:

It is difficult for scientists to classify protists into one kingdom because they closely resemble member of other eukaryotic kingdoms than they do other protists.

The protists have a wide variations among themselves that makes them very difficult to classify.

Protists have a wide-range of diversity within them and they flaunt every rule used to classify them.
Protists have also shown characteristics of different kingdoms between them.
