Answer:

d. decomposition

Explanation:

If an organism is living and feeding on <u>dead and decaying </u>matter like dead leafs and food scraps then the process is known as decomposition and the organism is known as decomposer.

In decomposition, <u>complex bio-molecules like proteins</u> are <u>broken down</u> into <u>simpler ones</u> and then nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus etc are recycled back into the environment so that they could be<u> reused by plants to make complex bio-molecules once again. </u>Bacteria use their <u>digestive enzymes</u> to decompose such dead and decaying matter and as a result of decomposition they <u>obtain energy</u> for their day to day activities.

Apart from bacteria, fungi also perform decomposition.

Sugar beets (Beta vulgaris) are a major crop in the Red River Valley of the North. Why do you think the beets have to be harvest
makvit [3.9K]
<h2>Sugar beet harvest </h2>

Explanation:

Sugar beets have to be harvested and stockpiled in September because  they have to get the root out of the ground before the ground freezes

  • Sugar beets are harvested with two primary pieces of equipment
  • The defoliator removes the green leaves and slices a slab from the top of the sugar beet root
  • This removed slab is the growing point of the sugar beet and contains high levels of impurities, which impede the factories ability to extract the sugar from the remainder of the harvested root
  • The sugar beet root is then harvested with a pinch wheel harvester, which pinches the root and lifts from the soil
  • The sugar beet harvester also separates some soil and conveys the sugar beet into a truck to be transported to a receiving station
