They both are active, unlike potential energy.
If an ecosystem lost its producers, there would be no way for energy to move up the web and the ecosystem would most likely fail. Without these energy-capturing organisms, herbivores would get no energy or food. Without them, carnivores would get nothing as well. Because decomposers get energy from all three, they would also die out.
If only decomposers were removed, there would be a lack of nutrients in the soil for plants. This would result in the above (loss of energy, food, and other commodities).
I hope I helped!
Answer:
(1) glycerophospholipids ⟶ (C) lipids with phosphate-containing head groups
(2) cerebrosides ⟶ (D) fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) gangliosides ⟶ (B) anionic sphingolipids containing one or more sialic acid residues
(4) sphingolipids ⟶ (A) built on sphingosine
Explanation:
1) Choline (Fig. 1) is a glycerophospholipid. It is a glycerol-based lipid with a phosphate-containing head group.
(2) Galactosylceramide (Fig. 2) is a cerebroside. It contains a fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine
(3) Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. GQ1b (Fig. 3) is one of the most abundant gangliosides in the human brain. The carboxyl group of the sialic acid is in the ionic form.
(4) Sphingomyelin (Fig. 4) is a sphingolipid. It is based on sphingosine, with a phosphocholine head and a fatty acid chain.
