Answer: Energy is not recycled once it passes from producer to consumer to decomposer.

The energy flow in an ecosystem in the form of food from one organism to other is food chain. It comprises mainly of three types of organisms producers or autotrophs, consumers or heterotrophs and decomposers. The energy flow in food chain or food web is unidirectional from plants which are the primary producers to primary consumers or herbivores, then to secondary consumers or carnivores and finally to the decomposers. On its unidirectional flow the energy is lost in different form such as heat loss, decay, respiration etc. The energy passed from one level to another is not the same and gets lost in the process so when the energy is received from one tropic level to another it is always less than that received by the previous tropic level.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The discovery of the process of fermentation dates back to 1860 when the French chemist Louis Pasteur performed a series of experiments that proved that glucose could be converted into alcohol only in the presence of fermenting bacteria and yeast.
His experiments involved measuring the multiplication of yeast and the rate of alcohol production. He found out that the fermentation rate and the reproduction of yeast were directly proportional. Alcohol was produced as long as the yeast remained alive.
Therefore, through experimentation, Louis Pasteur demonstrated that only microorganisms could ferment sugars into alcohol.

sergeinik [125]

Enzymes and acidic juices in the stomach, which break proteins down into smaller molecules, is known as proteolytic enzyme.

Proteolytic enzyme (also known as protease) is any group of enzymes that break down the long chainlike proteins molecules into smaller molecules (peptides) and later into amino acids. In the stomach, protein digestion takes place. The three main proteolytic enzymes; pepsin (produced by the stomach), and trypsin and chymotrypsin (produced by the pancreas) breaks down proteins into polypeptides which are eventually broken down into amino acids by several exopeptidases and dipeptidases.
