Answer:

The correct answer would be "They release the carbon that remains in the bodies of dead organisms".

Decomposers are heterotrophic organisms which get their nutrition by breaking down remains of dead plants and animals. The process of breaking down the dead remains of plants and animals is termed as decomposition.

By doing so, they play an important role in an ecosystem. They help in recycling of the nutrients such as carbon and nitrogen in an ecosystem. They return these nutrients to the soil from where plants can reuse the same.

In addition, they help in removing or cleaning the dead matter and waste material from the ecosystem.

Steroid hormones exert their action by ________. A. entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The correct option is A. Steroid hormones exert their action by entering the nucleus of a cell and initiating or altering the expression of a gene.

Explanation:

Steroid hormones are derived from cholesterol and regulate multiple biological processes. All steroid hormones exert their action by crossing the plasma membrane and by binding with their respective intracellular receptors. They stimulate cell growth in a very different way, their lipophilic nature gives them the ability to cross lipid barriers, so, without the need for extracellular signals, these hormones can easily enter the cell, cross the cytoplasm and reach the nucleus. There they bind to specific receptors that are associated with DNA promoter regions, modifying their structure and promoting the expression of the genes under their control.
