Hi!
Energy will flow through an ecosystem in one <em>direction, </em>from the sun or inorganic compounds to<em> autotrophs </em>and then to various <em>heterotrophs. </em>
The energy flow in an area will be delivering light energy to <em>autotrophs</em>, which make their food from the energy the sun produces.
The energy flow also delivers energy via inorganic compounds to <em>heterotrophs</em>, which do not make their own food.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
The specific magnetism of basalt rock is determined by the Earth's magnetic field when the magma is cooling. Scientists determined that the same process formed the perfectly symmetrical stripes on both side of a mid-ocean ridge. ... Oceanic crust slowly moves away from mid-ocean ridges and sites of seafloor spreading.
<span>When the lid for a vat
of wine is slightly open, the yeast inside can continue to perform alcoholic
fermentation because the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast during
fermentation will act as a blanket over the wine. Nevertheless, the air around the fermenter
must be still and enough carbon dioxide should be produced to continue
alcoholic fermentation. However, at some point, carbon dioxide will fall and
can no longer protect the wine. This is the right time to get your wine covered
before it will be vulnerable to undesirable microorganisms. </span>
Therefore, open fermentation
is good in the early stages of fermentation because yeast need oxygen to synthesize sterols and assimilate
fatty acids to ensure the nutrients it needs to multiply and ferment the 70% of the sugar from the fruit. Furthermore,
the yeast is responsible in decomposing sugar from the grapes into alcohol and
carbon dioxide.
<u>Answer:- </u> Decomposition
<u>Explanation:- </u>
Decomposition is a natural process that occurs in the environment to break down organic substances into simpler substances.
- All the living organisms that die, are decomposed and their bodies are broken down into simpler substances such that the nutrients are released into the soil.
- The plants are then able to absorb these nutrients from the soil and thus, the nutrient cycling goes on as the organisms feeds on it.
- Not only the dead animals but also the fallen leaves and other parts of the plant gets decomposed as they die.
- The process of decomposition is carried out by living organisms present in the soil such as bacteria. Such organisms are called as decomposers.
