Answer:

Decomposer

Explanation:

Decomposers are the heterotrophs that feed on dead and decaying bodies of living beings. During the process, decomposers break down the complex organic materials present in the dead and decaying matter into the simpler elements. These simpler elements are then released into the environment. Decomposers serve to recycle the matter back into the food web and biogeochemical cycles and do not allow it to be trapped in the dead and decaying matter.

hammer [34]

Answer:

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  

Explanation:

The structure found on the outside of the onion cell is the cell wall, which is specific to plants. The structure found on the outside of the skin cell is the cell membrane, which is found on all cells.

Structure X is not living, and structure Y is living.  - this is false, both animal and plant cells are living.

Structure X can be found in some human cells, and structure Y can be found in some plant cells.  - this is false, the opposite is true.

Structure X is only found in plant cells, and structure Y is found in plant and animal cells.  - this is true structure X is the plant cell wall, and structure Y is the cell membrane

Structure X is semipermeable, and structure Y is selectively permeable. Semi-permeable and selectively permeable are essentially the same thing - it means the barrier allows some substances to pass through but not others.
