There would be dead animals overloading the Earth. Think about it, without worms and other things that break down dead things they would still be here and just sit there.
If there were no decomposers in the food web, the whole entire food web would be destroyed in a sense. Decomposers break down animals remains and turn this into nutrients which is then used by plants. Plants grow and provide energy to herbivores, herbivores/mammals provide energy to carnivores, and then fecal/animal carcasses(remains) supply the decomposers with something to decompose. Without decomposers, there would be no food web. Hope this helps!
Cora might have been diagnosed with another disease that presents similarly as tardive dyskinesia (this disease is a common adverse effect of antipsychotic drugs). Her misdiagnosis is most likely Sydenham's Chorea which affects people with rheumatic fevers. Other differentials include seizures and essential tremors.
Facilitated diffusion is a diffusion mechanism facilitated by membrane transporters. it's the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions (like the passive diffusion) through a biological membrane through transport molecules (unlike passive diffusion). This process does not consume energy (like the passive diffusion) and therefore does not involve active transportation.
