3. The right answer is assimilated  

The opposite of the first one.

4. The right answer is cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration is the process of cellular metabolism that converts the chemical energy contained in nutrients into ATP (adenosine triphosphate).

5. The right answer is assimilated

"Assimilation" can be also used for energy.

6. The right answer is biomass

In the field of energy, biomass is the organic matter of plant origin (microalgae included), animal, bacterial or fungal (fungi), usable as a source of energy.

7. The right answer is biosynthesis.

Biosynthesis consists of a formation and production of a chemical compound body by a living organism, usually due to the catalysis of an enzyme. For example, protein synthesis is the synthesis of organic substances by an organism. Chemosynthesis and photosynthesis are biosynthesis.

8. The right answer is non assimilated.

Since it is lost, so it is not assimilated by the organism.

9. The right answer is biosynthesis.

In ecology, the trophic level is the rank occupied by a living being in a food web. It is measured in some way by the distance separating this being from the basic level which is that of the primary autotrophic production.

Science and society are independent. However science cannot answer all of society's questions because science has
Effectus [21]
Science can only explain logical questions and provide answers to things that only can be scientifically proven. Things that are asked in society like religion can not be further explained. The reason why we have religion is because we have always believed in something in history. Either is was made up or concocted out of no where, humans have always believed in something. But what science can't explain is the miracles and things that have happened. Like Jesus, they can't prove that he performed miracles or was the Son of God. They can't prove he and his body ascended into heaven. Science can't explain that God is real. Yet the only thing you can do is believe in it, and trust the Bible accounts are accurately true.
