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.

All proteins are synthesized by ribosomes in the cell. some ribosomes float freely in the cytosol, while others are bound to the

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Ost proteins that function in the cytosol (such as actin) or in the nucleus (such as DNA polymerase) are synthesized by free ribosomes. Proteins that function within the endomembrane system (such as lysosomal enzymes) or those that are destined for secretion from the cell (such as insulin) are synthesized by bound ribosomes.
<span>As a protein destined for the endomembrane system is being synthesized by a ribosome, the first amino acids in the growing polypeptide chain act as a signal sequence. That signal sequence ensures that the ribosome binds to the outer membrane of the ER and that the protein enters the ER lumen.</span>
