What are the roles of a decomposer?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kitty [74]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The roles of decomposers organisms are to degrade organic matter and contribute to the nutrition of the soil, which involves recycling the chemical elements needed by living organisms.

Explanation:

In nature, decomposers -such as bacteria and fungi- are heterotrophic organisms that require nourishment from organic matter in order to survive, being the last level of the food chains.

<u>The role of decomposers in an ecosystem can be summarized in two main functions</u>:

  1. <em>Degrading organic matter to convert complex substances into simple substances, which contributes to their own nutrition.</em>
  2. <em>To provide nutrients to the soil, which will be used by producers, plants, for their growth and development.</em>

An example of this is the degradation of proteins by decomposers, providing nitrogen to the soil that will subsequently be absorbed by plants to synthesize their nutrients.

Phosphagens are a group of molecules that includes creatine phosphate (in vertebrates), and arginine phosphate, lombricine, and
BARSIC [14]

Answer:

Phosphagen provides the needed energy for the muscle tissues which can not be immediately supplied by glycolysis or oxidative phosphorylation. They supply immediate but limited energy as sudden demands for lots of energy by the muscle tissues arise.

Explanation:

Phosphagens are high energy storage compounds majorly found in muscular tissue of animals.

They allow maintenance of the high energy phosphate stores in its normal concentration ranges which discard the problems associated with ATP-consuming reactions in these tissues as against the presence of adenosine triphosphate.

The muscle tissues are actively working and need constant supply of energy and the energy produced by glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation might not sum up to the needs of the tissues. So therefore, phosphagens serve as a stand by mechanism for energy production for the tissues mostly during sustained muscle activity.

The man, the muscle cells' phosphocreatinine concentration is more than three times the concentration of ATP and represent a ready reserve of high energy phosphate that can be donated directly to Adenosine diphosohate to release energy.

Different organisms use different biomolecule as a phosphagen. Majority of animals use arginine as their phosphagen, chordates use creatinine, annelids use lombricine.

They all perform these similar functions described above.

What is the mass of a 1.68-l sample of a liquid that has a density of 0.921g/ml?
Gwar [14]
Hey there!

Volume in mL :

1.68 L  * 1000 => 1680 mL

Density = 0.921 g/mL

Therefore:

Mass = density * Volume

Mass = 0.921 * 1680

Mass = 1547.28 g

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to  separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

The most accurate measurement is 1.1 g. Option A

<h3>What is accuracy?</h3>

The term accuracy refers to the fact that the measurement is close to the true value. The closer the measurement is to the true value as given, the more accurate it is.

In this case, the true value of the mass of the  sample of calcium carbonate is 1.134 g. Now we have to look at all the masses of as obtained by Emma during the experiment.

The most accurate measurement is 1.1 g. Option A
