Answer:

Decomposes are essential to maintain the cycle of nutrient, mass and energy

Explanation:

Decomposers lie at the highest trophic level of an ecosystem. When an organism lying at tertiary trophic level dies, the decomposers convert the dead remains of organisms into simpler organic compounds and elements which mix into the soil.

These simpler organic compounds and elements are taken up from the soil  by the plants as nutrients essential for their growth. A well grown plants becomes capable to produce food for all other organism.

Thus, decomposes are essential to maintain the cycle of nutrient, mass and energy

Decomposers and scavengers break down dead plants and animals. They also break down the waste (poop) of other organisms. Decomposers are very important for any ecosystem. If they weren't in the ecosystem, the plants would not get essential nutrients, and dead matter and waste would pile up.

A number of mutations have been described in the G protein Ras that have profound effects on its activity. For example, some mut
gladu [14]

Answer:

a mutation that blocks the GTPase activity of Ras

Explanation:

A G protein in inactive state is GDP bound but as soon as a guanine exchange factor (GEF) exchanges it with GTP it gets activated which means that in GTP bound state it is active. G - protein has endogenous GTPase activity. Upon interaction of GAP, the GTPase activity of this protein is exhibited. When GAP is present, hydrolysis of GTP into GDP occurs which leads to inactivation of G protein. A mutation which will block GTPase activity of Ras will therefore result in constitutive active signaling even in the absence of ligand binding to it's receptor. In such scenario, GTP will not be hydrolyzed into GDP so signaling will be up-regulated.

Lorico [155]

Answer:

The gravitational pull between two objects increases as the distance between them decreases. The gravitational pull also increases with an increase in the mass of the objects. Earth has a large mass. So, when our bodies are close to Earth, the gravitational pull between us and the Earth is strong. This force pulls us down, so we stand firmly on the ground without floating in the air. Without the gravitational force, we would drift away from Earth.
