The nematodes are the free living soil microfauna of the soil. These nematodes are important for the ecosystem as they act as decomposes for the organic materials and also help to recycle the important nutrients in the soil. They influence the degradation and mineralization of organic matter. The nematodes also form a relationship with the bacteria and fungi of the soil which also helps in the basic functions of the nematodes. The nematodes also share a small fraction of total biomass and respiration in the soil. Therefore, nematodes are also responsible for the production of carbon dioxide in the soil. This carbon dioxide also helps the bacteria and fungi in the decomposition of the organic matter in the soil.

Cholesterol makes up cell membranes and is used to create hormones.

Cell membranes are the outer covering of the cell that protect it from the outer environment. A cell membrane is a bilayer of lipid, composed of protein and cholesterol as well. The cholesterol is essential to maintain the proper integrity of the cell membrane.

Hormones are the chemical messengers that are released at one site and they perform their function at another location of the body. Hormones can be made up of several macromolecules like polypeptides, amine acids or cholesterol. The example of hormones made up of cholesterol are: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex hormones.

anastassius [24]

A researcher observing an ecosystem describes the amount of sunlight, precipitation, and type of soil present. The researcher is most likely describing abiotic factors in a prairie.
A and B are incorrect because the factors described are abiotic, not biotic.
Di is incorrect because abiotic factors listed include soil, which is not likely to be described in an ocean environment.
