Answer:
It cannot be digested and, therefore, provides little nutritional value
Decomposers are like the housekeepers of an ecosystem. Without them, dead plants and animals would keep piling up with the nutrients the soil needs trapped inside. Decomposers clean up the dead material by processing it and returning the nutrients to the soil for producers.
Using the graph provided with the question, we are able to find that that for a concentration of 270 micromol per kilogram, the calcification rate is 20 mmol calcium carbonate per meter squared per day.
Using this calcification rate,
30 = 20 * 1 * days
days = 1.5
The deposition will require 1.5 days.
A single random allele from each pair of parent alleles will be passed on to the gamete.
