Decompose and release to the nutrients to the sources.

The micro-organisms decompose the dead and decaying organic matters. The nutrients are absorbed from soil or atmosphere by the plants. During the absorption these nutrients are depleted from the sources.

From the plants, these nutrients are transferred to the animals at different tropic levels. After the death of plants and animals are decomposed by micro-organisms and release the nutrients to the sources which finally maintain the biogeochemical cycle of nitrogen, Sulphur etc.

How do the cell walls of the Archaea compare to the cell walls found in Bacteria?

Maksim231197 [3]

Archaea and bacteria have generally similar cell structure, but cell composition and organization set the archaea apart. Like bacteria, archaea lack interior membranes and organelles. Like bacteria, archaea cell membranes are usually bounded by a cell wall and they swim using one or more flagella.

If an animal fossil was found in a rock, what would be the best way to determine its absolute age?

LiRa [457]

Answer:

Explanation:

Absolute age is defined as the numeric age of fossils.

To identify the absolute age of a fossil, the amount of certain radioactive elements in the rock are measured. When fossils are formed in the rocks, a small amounts of radioactive elements is included in it. The process to identify age of fossil using radioactive elements is known radiometric dating. So, radioactive isotope and its decay product gives absolute age of fossils.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

Anne was observing a cell under a microscope which was undergoing binary fission. Which type of cell was Anne observing? 1 Eukar

exis [7]

3 is the answer.

Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction and is the most common method of reproduction in prokaryotes. It may occur in some unicellular (single- celled) eukaryotes..

Eukaryotes use sexual recombination during reproduction to create or generate genetic variation and thus the resulting offspring will have a mixture of the parents' genetic characteristics.

Prokaryotes on the other hand will simply produce clones of themeslves through binary fisson. After the process of replicating its own genetic material, the prokaryote simply divides into two daughter cells that are almost identical in size and that concludes the process.

Which of the following

Pachacha [2.7K]

Phosphate groups of the nucleotides in the diagram are marked with W.

Option C.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

DNA is a macro molecule which is formed of polymerization of deoxyribonucleotides. Four types of deoxyribonucleotides are present which are adenosine, guanosine, thymidine and cytosine triphosphate. These nucleotides are polymerized based on the genetic setup.

The phosphate groups attached with the sugar molecule are actually polymerized with the o glycosidic bond. That's marked with the letter W. These phosphate molecules are attached with the sugar molecules which actually are attached with the nitrogen bases. They in total forms a nucleotide, hence the whole DNA. X in the diagram are nitrogen bases and the Y are the hydrogen bonds between the complementary nitrogen bases

Which diseases are caused by hereditary factors?

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

type 1 diabetes and cancer

Explanation:

All the others are contagious diseases that you can contract, but type 1 diabetes and cancer can be caused by genetics. The others are all things that you can usually recover from while cancer and diabetes are usually conditions that cannot be escaped sadly.
