The correct answer is Option B

The Block X in the figure shows that the producers utilized the carbon dioxide present in the environment and produced food by the process of photosynthesis.

Then the consumers feed on the producers and used the food prepared by the producers.

The Block Y in the figure shows that when the consumers died, the decomposers came into action and decomposed the body of the consumers and returned the carbon back into the atmosphere.

The right answer is B

A primary producer corresponds, in an ecosystem, to an autotrophic living being, that is to say capable of producing organic matter from mineral matter. It is the first element of the food chain. This organism is totally or partially ingested by a primary consumer, itself being the potential target of secondary consumers.

Decomposers are living creatures that contribute to the degradation of dead organic matter or feces by returning them in mineral form. They play a crucial role in an ecosystem because they participate in the recycling of the elements.

An enzyme that breaks DNA, dispels the tension, and reseals the strand ahead of a DNA replication growing fork is called a(n):

qaws [65]

Answer:

Topoisomerase

Explanation:

Topoisomerases are enzymes that produce changes in the topology of the DNA during replication, transcription, traduction, or reparation processes. They can cut one or both strands and in order to relieve torsional stresses in the supercoiled structure of DNA. With this, they help to maintain the chromosome's integrity. There are two types of topoisomerases: topoisomerase I (it cuts only one strand of DNA) and topoisomerase II (it is able to cut both strands of DNA).

In the presence of oxygen, the three-carbon compound pyruvate can be catabolized in the citric acid cycle. First, however, the p

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(D) acetyl CoA, NADH, H+, and CO2.

Explanation:

The given explanation is about oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate into acetyl CoA and carbon dioxide. The reactions are catalyzed by enzyme complex pyruvate dehydrogenase. During the reaction, pyruvate loses one of its carbon atoms in the form of CO2 and the rest of two carbons form the acetate which in turn combines with CoA to form the acetyl CoA.

Since it is an oxidative decarboxylation, the released electrons are accepted by NAD+ which in turn is converted into NADH + H+.

Overall, there is the formation of one molecule of acetyl-CoA, CO2 and NADH + H+ each from one molecule of pyruvate.

Which is the following accurately describes carbon atoms?

Ksivusya [100]

Carbon is the sixth most abundant element in the planet. Without carbon, life will be non-existent. It provides the framework for all living organisms on Earth. A carbon atom is composed of six protons and six neutrons. Carbon is found in almost everything that surrounds us; they are in fuels, coals, natural gas, even the proteins that make-up hair and meat contain carbon. This is mainly because carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms to make a compound. It is naturally found in the environment and its abundance fits its purpose in our existence. <span>A Carbon atoms can bond to other carbon atoms.</span>

What is the importance of the organization of spindle fibers during cell division?

Rama09 [41]

Spindle fibers attach to the sister chromosomes and pull them apart. without them, the sisters would still be attached to each other which means there would be no division.
