Answer: Detritivores improve the nutritional value and the texture of the soil: This makes the soil productive to plant life which translates to availability of food for the herbivores and carnivores like human beings. They however do not complete the energy cycle as their wastes are energy products that need to be decayed.
Decomposers help in converting the leftovers of animals and plants to useful substances for other living organisms. They are mainly bacteria and fungi. Have you ever wondered what would happen if the decomposers and consumers were not in the ecosystem?
Detritivores play a very important in the cycle as they are the consumers of dead leaves, old skin, carcasses and manure. They include millipedes, earthworms and slugs that feed on dead plants and animals but leave some parts and their feces that are converted to energy by the decomposers. Players in the energy cycle function hand in hand, a decomposer is found at the lowest part of the cycle as it deals with the remains. They complete the energy cycle. The roles of the decomposers and detritivores almost coincide.
Hope this helps !!! Good luck !!! ;)
Answer:
b. glycolysis
Explanation:
Anaerobic glycolysis is a catabolic route used by many types of cells for the degradation of glucose in the absence of oxygen. That is, glucose is not completely oxidized to carbon dioxide and water, as is the case with aerobic glycolysis, but fermentative products are generated.
It is called anaerobic glycolysis since it takes place without the presence of oxygen, which in other cases functions as the final acceptor of electrons in the mitochondrial transport chain, where large amounts of energy are produced from the processing of glycolytic products.
The leading cause is garbage and waste from people.
Answer:
Indivisuals with producing an abnormal form of extracellular protein fibrillin are suffering from Marfan syndrome ehich is caused by genetic mutation in the FBN1 gene.
Explanation:
Gene mutations in FBN1 gene results in the production of an abnormal extracellular matrix fibrillin-1 protein that cannot function properly. These gene mutations basically reduce the amount of fibrillin-1 produced by the cell, alter the structure of fibrillin-1, or causes the impairment of the transport of fibrillin-1 out of the cell.
As a result, protein is poorly incorporated into extracellular matrix. Hence, indivisuals with Marfan syndrome present following symptoms
Tall stature.
Disproportionately long arms, legs and fingers.
Sternum either protrudes outward or dips inward.
Arched palate and crowded teeth.
Heart murmurs.
Extreme nearsightedness.
Answer:
All are correct. I find no wrong answers
