D. Most of the energy that drives metabolism is supplied by ATP
An organism that obtains energy and nutrients by feeding on other organisms or their remains. A food web is a model of the feeding relationships between many different consumers and producers in an ecosystem. Without plants (the primary producers) consumers and decomposers would not be able to live. Producers always start every food chain. A consumer, also called a heterotroph, is an organism that cannot make its own food. It must eat producers or other organisms for energy.
Answer:
Explanation:
In a lake, oxygenic phototrophs produce new organic material as well as O₂. If primary production rates are very high, the resultant excessive organic matter production can lead to bottom-water O₂ depletion from respiration and the development of anoxic conditions. This in turn stimulates anaerobic metabolisms, including anaerobic respirations and fermentations.
Organic matter that is not consumed in surface layers sinks to the depths and is decomposed by anaerobes.
Answer:
Most macromolecules are made from single subunits,called monomers. The monomers....building blocks are combine with each other using covalent bonds to form larger molecules called polymers.
Monomers release water molecules as by-products and this process is called condensation.
