The answer is decomposers.

After the death of producers and consumers, decomposers (such as Actinobacteria, or other bacteria which are prokaryotes) eat that dead organisms and carbon, nitrogen, and other elements are released into the environment. It should be taken into consideration that eukaryotes (such as fungi) can be decomposers as well.

Oompah’s with type O blood receive a tax break. ophine oompah has type a blood, but he wants a wife that will give him children

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

He should request type O on his dating survey.

Opine's blood type must be AO to have a higher probability of producing O offsprings.

Explanation:

O blood type is recessive so, when it is paired with another blood type like B or A, these would be dominant, giving B and A blood, respectively.

O blood type results are possible thanks to OO genotypes.

If the man's blood type is A, to have a higher chance of producing OO offsprings, his blood should be AO. The other possibility is that he has AA blood, which will result in a low probability of OO offsprings.

As regards the mother, her blood type should be OO.

We can see this more clearly in Punnet Square.

║ A ║O

O║AO║OO

There is a 50% of probability of having O offsprings with AO and OO.

║ A ║A

O║AO║AO

O║AO║AO

With AA and OO, the probability is 0%

║ A ║O

A║AA║AO

O║AO║OO

With both parents having AO, blood the probability of having a OO offspring is 25%.

In conclusion, the higher chances of producing a OO offspring is if the parents are AO and OO.

Megan wanted to make some calcium chloride (CaCl2) for an experiment. She knew that for every 40g of calcium there would be 71 g

MaRussiya [10]

Because 40= 20x2, in order to keep the ratio consistent Megan would need 1/2 of 71 g of chlorine which is 35.5, right?

Identify the relationship between structure and function of an organism and a cell:

tangare [24]

In multicellular organisms, the shape of the cell helps determine its function. For example, red blood cells are donut-shaped to easily exchange oxygen and freely pass through narrow blood vessels while nerve cells are long so when connected to other nerve cells they can span long distances in the organism

Do fish have an open or closed circulatory system? What does this mean?

dedylja [7]

Answer:

They have a closed circulatory system.

Explanation:

In an open circulatory system, blood vessels transport all fluids into a cavity. When the animal moves, the blood inside the cavity moves freely around the body in all directions.

Closed circulatory systems are different to open circulatory systems because blood never leaves the blood vessels. Instead, it is transferred from one blood vessel to another continuously without entering a cavity.
