If an ecosystem lost its producers, there would be no way for energy to move up the web and the ecosystem would most likely fail. Without these energy-capturing organisms, herbivores would get no energy or food. Without them, carnivores would get nothing as well. Because decomposers get energy from all three, they would also die out.
If only decomposers were removed, there would be a lack of nutrients in the soil for plants. This would result in the above (loss of energy, food, and other commodities).
I hope I helped!
Tailings
Slurry is a liquid concrete or cement
Impoundments are enclosures of water
Answer: Algae
Explanation:
Algae
Algae are grouped in the kingdom Plantae. The unicellular blue-green algae are kept under the kingdom Protista
Fungi
In the five-kingdom classification by Whittaker, fungi were placed in a separate kingdom Fungi
Answer:
A possible hypothesis would be:
IF a yeast cell is supplied with maltose sugar, THEN it would yield the greatest amount of energy when metabolized by bacteria
Explanation:
The hypothesis is a testable explanation aimed at providing a theoretical explanation to a question. The hypothesis is a predictive statement about the possible solution, which can be tested. A hypothesis must be testable via experimentation. It often has an IF, THEN format.
Hence, in the case experiment where a student wanted to know which sugar (maltose, glucose or sucrose) would yield the greatest amount of energy for the cell when metabolized by mitochondria. A possible hypothesis of this experiment will be that: IF a yeast cell is supplied with maltose sugar, THEN it would yield the greatest amount of energy when metabolized by bacteria
Note that, this hypothesis must be testable by conducting an experiment and it doesn't have to be true. It can be disproved or proved by the outcome of the experiment. In this case, the hypothesis is giving an educated guess that maltose is the sugar that will yield the greatest amount of energy for yeast cells
