For matter to be recycled and returned to the food chain, decomposers must be present. Decomposers are the final link in a food chain. They play a very important role in the food chain and makes it a cyclic process. They eat up dead animals and plants and produce nutrients from these matter back to the food chain. Plants needs nutrients for growth while living animals take up the nutrients they need from eating plants. The nutrients from these living organisms are recycled back to the ecosystem when they die by the process called decomposition with the help of decomposers.
List the four types of organic macromolecules. Provide specific molecular examples of each.
Answer:
The five spheres of Earth are the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, cryosphere, biospheres.
The ocean is one environment that is comprised of both the hydrosphere and biosphere. The ocean, being nothing but water, serves as the whole known world to all marine life within, which serves as the biosphere component.
Mountainous environments are also made up of multiple spheres; including, but not limited to, cryosphere, geosphere, with a little bit of biosphere as well. Mountains--which are giant rock formations created by years of seismic activity--are mostly covered in snow near the peaks due to low temperature, which will melt at different points during the year. A small assortment of wildlife call these areas home, such as jackrabbits, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, bear, gray wolf, coyote, lynx, and wolverine.
