I think a decomposer is an organism that feeds on dead organisms and the waste products of other organisms. Decomposers help nutrients cycle back into the ecosystem. Some examples of decomposers are insects, earthworms, and bacteria.

vaieri [72.5K]
<span>Primate females give birth to fewer offspring than do many other mammals. Many other mammals give birth to full litters, sometimes as many as 20 at a time, where primates typically give birth to between one and two offspring at a time, and rarely to three, without medical intervention. Mammals tend to give birth to fewer offspring than they have teats/nipples to allow for feeding.</span>

1) They can kill Other Unintended Organisms

2) Some of the Pests might be Resistant to the Pesticide, Meaning the Pesticide no Longer Works on the Pests

3) They can Bioaccumulate in the Food Chain

Explanation:

1) Bugs need for the proper growth of plants are often killed by pesticides, often from wind blowing them onto other plants for the bugs

2) Its the same princincle as super bacteria, some bugs will likely survive the pesticide, often because of a mutation, and pass that on as it is advantageous

Human proteins, such as insulin, can be produced by bacterial cells. this is possible because _____. all organisms have the same
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

all organisms share a common genetic code

Explanation:

Bacteria has been genetically modified to produce human insulin protein via genetic recombination. The gene coding for human protein is inserted in bacterial plasmid and then returned back to the bacteria. This arrangement allows faster and inexpensive way of insulin production.

Human insulin gene can be inserted into bacterial DNA because in the end all the organisms share a common genetic code. Genetic code is used by all organisms for gene expression forming the resultant protein. It is dependent on the information carried by the nucleotide triplets which finally get translated. Genetic code is universal which means the triplets will always code for the same amino acid no matter the organism hence bacteria can be used to produce a human protein if the gene can be made available to it.
