Bacteria and algae convert solar energy into organic energy. Consumers ingest live plants and prey. Decomposers, such as mold and mushrooms, break down and use energy from organisms. Fungi, like mushrooms, absorb nutrients from the organisms by secreting enzymes to break up the chemical compounds that make up dead plants and animals.

Energy transfers, and the Second Law of Thermodynamics is applicable in this circumstance greatly.

Describe the Cell Cycle [Interphase, G1 phase, S phase, G2 phase] describe them all please :)

Svet_ta [14]

G1, S and G2 phases are all cumulatively referred to as interphase involving the growth of a cell and the replication of its DNA. Initially in G1 phase, the cell grows physically and increases the volume of both protein and organelles. In S phase, the cell copies its DNA to produce two sister chromatids and replicates its nucleosomes. Finally, G2 phase involves further cell growth and organisation of cellular contents. The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells. The S phase only begins when the cell has passed the G1 checkpoint and has grown enough to contain double the DNA. S phase is halted by a protein called p16 until this happens.
