Answer:
When a plant or animal dies, it leaves behind nutrients and energy in the organic material that comprised its body. Scavengers and detritivores can feed on the carcasses, but they will inevitably leave behind a considerable amount of unused energy and nutrients. Unused energy and nutrients will be present both in the unconsumed portions (bones, feathers or fur in the case of animals, wood and other indigestable litter in the case of plants) and in the feces of the scavengers and detritivores. Decomposers complete decomposition by breaking down this remaining organic matter. Decomposers eventually convert all organic matter into carbon dioxide (which they respire) and nutrients. This releases raw nutrients (such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and magnesium) in a a form usable to plants and algae, which incorporate the chemicals into their own cells. This process resupplies nutrients to the ecosystem, in turn allowing for greater primary production.
Although decomposers are generally located on the bottom of ecosystem diagrams such as food chains, food webs, and energy pyramids, decomposers in the biosphere are crucial to the environment. By breaking down dead material, they provide the nutrients that other organisms need to survive. As decomposers feed on dead organisms, they leave behind nutrients. These nutrients become part of the soil. Therefore, more plants can grow and thrive.
Bacteria are the primary decomposers of dead animals (carrion) and are the primary decomposers of dead plant matter (litter) in some ecosystems.

Answer:
Explanation:
function of atp
ATP captures chemical energy obtained from the breakdown of food molecules and releases it to fuel other cellular processes.
when enzymes are boiled
the chemical bonds that hold together the structure of enzymes begin to break down
"B" It is based on repeated investigations. It can always be proven false. It might not be, and it is NOT equivalent to a scientific law. A scientific law is something that is true, and nothing could change it. It is a fact.

The location where a crime occur is called a crime scene. There are two types of crime scene, primary and secondary crime scenes. The primary crime scene refers to the place where the crime actually takes place. The secondary crime scene is to some extent related to the crime but it is not the original place of occurrence of the crime.
In the question given above, the primary crime scene is the lockers' room, where the thief took the car's key from. Information about the identity of the thief, such as finger prints can be obtained at the primary crime scene.
