This is a typical grassland food web. It is also a small picture of an important cycle on Earth: the carbon cycle. Describe how

the carbon gets into this food web.
a. Bacteria and fungi, the decomposers, recycle carbon from dead organisms.
b. Carbon is found in the grass and is passed from one level to the next in this food web.
c. All living things give off carbon dioxide as a by-product of respiration and it is released into the atmosphere.
d. Plants use carbon dioxide as a reactant in photosynthesis, to make usable chemical energy in the form of a sugar.

Answer:

The correct answer would be option D.

In any food web, the inorganic carbon from the atmosphere is incorporated into the organic matter by the process of photosynthesis.

Autotrophs perform photosynthesis and fix carbon obtained from carbon dioxide into the glucose or organic matter with the help of chlorophyll and in the presence of sunlight.

6 CO₂ + 6 H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

In fermentation _____ is reduced and _____ is oxidized. In fermentation _____ is reduced and _____ is oxidized. pyruvate ... NAD
Lyrx [107]

Answer: Pyruvate is reduced and NADH is oxidized.

Explanation:

Fermentation is a chemical process that involves the breakdown of carbohydrates anaerobically by the activities of microorganisms.

It is the process use in the production of foodstuffs, wine and beer. Fermentation start with enzymes activities, which breakdown sugars into lactate or two molecules of three carbon organic acid, pyruvic acid. Pyruvate is reduced to lactic acid or alcohol in the absence of oxygen and nicotinamide adenine dinuleotide+hydrogen(NADH) is oxidized . This process produces two ATP per glucose molecule.

using the food web, describe two complete food chains that include a ptoducer, consumer, and descomposer.​
Damm [24]

Answer:

A food chain is a representation of what eats what in an ecosystem.

A combination of food chains is termed as a food web.

Example of two food chains in a food web are :

Example No 1:

Plant----- Grasshopper------ Frog---snake--- bacteria

Example No 2:

Plant---- rabbits---- fox---- bacteria

In a food chain, producers are usually plants and algae which are able to make their own food. Consumers feed on the plants. In example no 1, grasshoppers are primary consumers, frogs are secondary consumers, snakes are tertiary consumers.

In example no 2,plants are producers, rabbits are primary consumers and foxed are secondary consumers.

Decomposers are organisms that feed on the dead organisms in a food chain. In both the examples of food chain, bacteria are the decomposers.

What distribution of phenotypes would be expected for a polygenic trait?
rewona [7]
 The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.

Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>

Pluto is not a planet because it does not have its own orbit. Which planet's orbit does it cross? Why will they never collide?
ratelena [41]
Hey there!

Pluto crossed Neptune's orbit. However, their paths do not actually cross, they just swap positions. 

Hope that helps!
