The reason scientists believe this is that there was basically no oxygen in the atmosphere at this time, which meant that cells needed to be anaerobic to survive,<span> going around the problem of no oxygen in the atmosphere.

Hope this helps.</span>

The first cells had to be anaerobic because most of the oxygen in the atmosphere was produced by living organisms. The first organisms couldn’t use oxygen as an electron acceptor because there wasn’t enough of it to use. Only after later organisms had created oxygen could organisms dependent on oxygen evolve. I don’t know of any scientists who thinks the first cells were heterotrophs. All the ones I know of believe they were chemolithic autotrophs. If you stop and think about it for even a second you will see that the first cells couldn’t have been heterotrophs. By definition heterotrophs rely on eating other living things to survive. How could the very first living thing ever to exist have survived by eating other living things? It makes no sense. The first cell can’t have made a living by eating other cells because there were no other cells to eat. It couldn’t be a heterotroph by definition.

What is a ecosystem? write 2 to 5 sentences to explain it​
Nonamiya [84]

Ecosystem is that it is a community or group of living organisms that live in and interact with each other in a specific environment.

For instance, tropical forests are ecosystems made up of living beings such as trees, plants, animals, insects and micro-organisms that are in constant interaction between themselves and that are affected by other physical (sun, temperature) or chemical (oxygen or nutrients) components.


An ecosystem consists of a community of organisms together with their physical environment.
Ecosystems can be of different sizes and can be marine, aquatic, or terrestrial. Broad categories of terrestrial ecosystems are called biomes.
In ecosystems, both matter and energy are conserved. Energy flows through the system—usually from light to heat—while matter is recycled.
Ecosystems with higher biodiversity tend to be more stable with greater resistance and resilience in the face of disturbances, or disruptive events.

liq [111]

He or she is said to be in a positive nitrogen balance state.

Nitrogen balance is the traditional method of determining dietary protein requirements. Determining dietary protein requirements using nitrogen balance requires that all nitrogen inputs and losses are carefully collected, to ensure that all nitrogen exchange is accounted for. Positive nitrogen balance is associated with periods of growth, hypothyroidism, tissue repair, and pregnancy. This means that the intake of nitrogen into the body is greater than the loss of nitrogen from the body, so there is an increase in the total body pool of protein.

3.Why should a model of the carbon cycle include the burning of fossil fuels?(1 point)
user100 [1]

Answer:

Burning fossil fuels moves carbon from the geosphere to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

  • Fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas are produced and stored in the geosphere. i.e. the part of the Earth that includes the Earth's interior, landforms, rocks and minerals.
  • Fossil fuels, extracted from the geosphere are burned to generate energy.
  • Combustion of fossil fuels releases the stored carbon into the atmosphere in the form of carbon dioxide.
