Answer:

The general term is microorganisms and an example of them are fungi.

Explanation:

Microorganisms are small living beings whose dimensions do not allow them to be observed with the naked eye by man. Thus, they can only be viewed under the microscope. Many microorganisms live in soil and fallen leaves on the forest floor. In general, microorganisms contribute to soil fertilization, substance recycling and participate in biogeochemical cycles. They can still be used in the manufacture of products such as yogurt, wines, cheese, vinegars and breads.

One exemplo of a microorganism is fungi. Soil fungi are also capable of interacting with plants, with pathogenic and mycorrhizal associations being the most significant interactions in agroecology.

Answer:

Edaphon, Leaf litter and earthworm

Explanation:

  1. Edaphon is the general term used to reffer to the animals and plants present in the soil.
  2. On the other hand, there is not only one name for the fallen leaves on the forest floor. It could be either plant litter, leaf litter or even tree littler. Although the name suggests it is only leaves, this <u>plant litter</u> could include leaves, barks and twigs that can fall off a tree.
  3. The edaphon its made up of thousands of organisms including a huge number of bacteria, fungi, and arthropods. A good example of organisms living in the soil is an earthworm. Earthworms crawl through the soil feeding from it, digesting part of the organic material and fertilizing it with their excrement.

Beriberi is caused by a deficiency of thiamine in the diet.
denis23 [38]

Answer:

Thiamine pyrophosphate  (derived from vitamin B1) is a coenzyme required for the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase enzyme complex.

Explanation:

Pyruvate is the end product of glycolysis. During aerobic cellular respiration, pyruvate is oxidatively decarboxylated into acetyl CoA which in turn enters the Kreb's cycle. Oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate is carried out by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH). The first step is simple decarboxylation and is catalyzed by pyruvate decarboxylase of the PDH complex.

The enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase and has a tightly bound coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is derived from vitamin B1. Lack of vitamin B1 in the human diet leads to beriberi that is characterized by an increased concentration of pyruvate in blood urine since oxidative decarboxylation cannot occur due to lack of the coenzyme thiamine pyrophosphate.

Where do plants get the carbon needed to make glucose molecules during the process of photosynthesis?
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

From CARBONDIOXIDE (CO2) found in the atmosphere

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process performed by autotrophic organisms like green plants. It is a phenomenon whereby these plants manufacture their own food (sugars) using an inorganic carbon source in the presence of sunlight to provide energy.

The major end product of photosynthesis is glucose, which has a carbon constituent i.e. C6H12O6. However, this carbon needed to make glucose is got from an inorganic molecule called CARBON DIOXIDE, which the plants take from the atmosphere in via the stomata on their leaves.

A body of granite was found to underlie sandstone. pieces of sandstone were found in the granite. which is younger, the granite
serg [7]
It is obvious that the sandstone is older than the granite. This is because the sandstone had to already exist when the granite formed from molten rock, as some of the sandstone was captured within the layer of hardening granite. The geological principle of inclusions supports this conclusion.<span> Inclusions, in this case the sandstone, are always older than the rock they are found in. </span>
