Answer:

Phosphates are critical part of life because of the diverse roles they perform in the lives of living organisms, especially in DNA and RNA molecules.

Phosphates are formed from two elements, phosphorus and oxygen. Phosphorus is a very important element that play a crucial roles in the formation of bones and teeth. It is also plays vital roles in carbohydrate metabolism, fat metabolism, protein synthesis and repair of worn out tissues. Oxygen on the other hand is required for oxidation of biological fuel and for breathing.

Phosphates are usually formed from one atom of phosphorus and four atoms of oxygen, it has the chemical formula PO4. Phosphate is an important component of DNA and RNA molecules, phosphates hold these molecules together. Phosphate molecule is also found in ATP, which is the energy currency of living cells.

How would a food web be affected if a species disappeared from an ecosystem
german
 Well, if one of the major species, that a certain animal eat disappeared, then it would effect the animal that ate it. Then, if that animal doesnt get fed, or eat the right things, it will die, and so will the animal that eats it. Its like the domino effect, if one goes down, so does everything else.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>B. Spores</u> are involved in both sexual and asexual reproduction.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

In science, a spore is a unit of sexual as well as asexual proliferation that might be adjusted for dispersal and for endurance, frequently for expanded timeframes, in troublesome conditions.

Bacterial spores are not part of a sexual cycle but rather are safe structures utilized for endurance under horrible conditions. Under good conditions, the spore can form into another living being utilizing mitotic division, delivering a multicellular gametophyte, which inevitably proceeds to create gametes.
