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.

Answer:

Deep scattering layer, DSL

Explanation:

The deep scattering layer (DSL) also known as "<em>deep sound layer</em>", refers to an oceanic deep layer, more or less defined, that reflects sound and that is formed by a wide variety of animals. It is present in almost every ocean. It is produced by the presence of many organisms of different species that can disperse the sonar waves sent by a sonar equipment.

It was discovered through the ships´ sonar. Whenever they met a layer in which the sound hit, and was often confused with the bottom of the ocean. This is why the DSL is refered to as the "fake bottom".

These animals form layers of not less than 10 meters thick and might easily reach up to 50 meters thick. These layers are often found between 50 and 200 meters deep and can be seen going up and down every day according to the daily vertical migration.

Yolk molecules tend to accumulate in the vegetal half in the fertilized eggs of most animals, and the presence of yolk can slow
bazaltina [42]

cells in the vegetal half of the embryo should be unpigmented those in the animal half and there should be heavily pigmented.

Explanation:

The Yolk molecules moving in the vegetal halves of the egg which is the case in most of the animals, slows down the cell division. These lesser division area or the zone demarcates the area to be vegetal pole and due to lesser cell division, it becomes unpigmented or less pigmented Based on the observation time and perspect with assuming no movement.

The pole opposite to the vegetal, is animal pole which with absence or less of yolk, gets more ability to divide and hence become more pigmented or heavily pigmented. This brings polarity to the egg and becomes telolecithal egg.

krok68 [10]

Answer:

<u>b. synthesizes new DNA only in the 5' to 3' direction.</u>

Explanation:

DNA Polymerase III is involved in replication of DNA, it is involved in the proofreading of the replication mistakes by activity reading 3' to 5' and synthesizing 5' to 3' . It can add nucleotides to the strand at the rate of about 1000  nucleotides per second.

The French scientist Jacques Monod famously said, "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." How is
8090 [49]

Answer:

The correct answer is : prokaryotic organisms like E. coli and higher organisms share common ancestor.

Explanation:

E. Coli is a prokaryotic organism or bacteria. On the metabolic level these organisms share similar homology with the higher organism other than this these organisms also show same core functions with higher level organisms such as elephant.

These similarities suggest that the all the living organisms share a common ancestor. The french scientist Jacques Monod statement "Anything found to be true of E. Coli must also be true of elephants." is also based on this notion.
