Answer:

The role of each of the following in the carbon cycle with example is discussed as:

a. Primary Producer:

                                    Primary producers are those ones who take inorganic molecules like carbon dioxide and convert them into organic molecules like carbohydrates. For example: Plants, autotrophs.

b. Secondary Producer:

                                          Secondary producers are mainly herbivores like elephants, provides food for carnivores, consumes primary producer and they release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

c. Decomposers:

                             Decomposer are those ones who break down the dead materials of plants or animals and release energy back to the nonliving environment like soil, water, air etc. The example include earthworms.

Answer and Explanation:

a. Primary producers

Primary producers are organisms that are able to produce their own food, also known as autotrophs. The best example to illustrate this group are <em>plants</em>. <u>They have a major role in the carbon cycle as they transform inorganic molecules from the atmosphere, such as CO2, into organic molecules like carbohydrates.</u>

b. Secondary producers

Secondary producers are organisms that feed on primary producers, that is, they are heterotrophs (and herbivores), which are then consumed by predators. For example, caterpillars or rabbits. <u>When these organisms respirate, they exhale carbon dioxide, which is used by primary producers in the carbon cycle.</u>

c. Decomposers

Decomposers are organisms that consume and break down organic matter such as dead animals, feces, and leaves. For example, fungi and bacteria. <u>Through this process, they release CO2 and methane into the atmosphere, making carbon dioxide available for plants to carry out photosynthesis.</u>

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

Proteins, Liver, Osmotic, Fluid, Into The Blood, Decrease.

Explanation:

Blood is considered a colloid because it contains proteins in the plasma.

Most of these are produced by the liver.

Collectively, these substances exert osmotic pressure and prevent the loss of fluid from the blood as it moves through the capillaries.

The pressure exerted by the plasma proteins is called colloid osmotic pressure.

This force is responsible for moving fluids into the blood and preventing excess fluid loss between blood capillaries and the interstitial fluid.

If plasma protein levels decrease, colloid osmotic pressure will decrease.

I hope this answer helps.

When human red blood cells are placed in pure water, the cells immediately burst. which process explains what happens to the red
irga5000 [103]
The process of osmosis explains what happened to the cells.

Osmosis is where water molecules will flow from a region of higher water potential to a region of lower water potential, through a partially permeable membrane. Red blood cell is a human cell and have a partially permeable membrane. At the same time, pure water has the highest water potential among all substances, and of course higher than the cytoplasm of the red blood cell, therefore, water molecules will flow from the water to the red blood cell.

So much water has flown to the red blood cells that the cell membrane cannot hold all and eventually the cell bursts. Therefore, the process of osmosis explains this result.
