Answer:D) Decomposers break down the remains of producers and consumers
Explanation:A biotic pool is a tidal pool with diverse and changing habitats of living factors. We can say they are important mini ecosystems within the larger ecosystem.
The abiotic pool involves the elemental phases of nature,the non living parts of the ecosystem. Decomposition (break down) of elements/organic compounds is the characteristic bridge between both pools into what is known as nutrients.
This tell us that the ultimate dead part of producers and consumers are used up in this process.
Some of the nutrients released in the biogeochemical cyclic process includes sulfur and phosphorus and they move through the ecosystem.
Note: The biogeochemical cycle is a pathway of movement for chemical elements.
The chemical elements in nature moves through both biotic and abiotic components via abiotic and biotic interaction in the ecosystem
Few abiotic factors includes rocks, air, water, and chemicals while biotic factors includes living organisms activities.
All living and non living elements of nature play vital roles in the great biogeochemical cycle.
Answer;
-Evolution by natural selection
-The theory of evolution by natural selection states that organisms that are better suited for their environment will survive and reproduce, while those that are poorly suited for their environment will die off.
Explanation;
-The theory of evolution encompasses the well established scientific view that organic life on our planet has changed over long periods of time and continues to change by a process known as natural selection.
-Natural selection is the phenomenon that some traits confer a reproductive advantage (fitness), resulting in (a statistical expectation of) that trait increasing in the population over time (evolution).
Answer:
Option-A
Explanation:
Pentose phosphate pathway is the alternative pathway taking place in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes parallel to the glycolysis.
The pentose phosphate pathway forms the electron carriers called NADPH and the ribose-5 phosphate.
The NADPH is formed in large amounts through this pathway which contains a very high amount of energy. NADPH can donate its hydride ions, therefore, it can be involved in the reaction where it can donate energy in the form of hydrogen and electron.
The NADPH is therefore involved in the formation of reducing biosynthetic pathways like fatty acid synthesis, cholesterol synthesis, and bile acid synthesis.
Thus, Option-A is the correct answer.
