Carbon would be the answer to this because it is an element while water is a compound. In addition, carbon had 4 bonding sites which allows it to form a variety of molecules like sugars, proteins, and even DNA that are essential for life as we know it.

Rosa drew a flow chart of the carbon cycle. Flow chart of the carbon cycle with 4 boxes connected by arrows. Box 1: carbon dioxi
leonid [27]

Answer:

(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste.

Explanation:

<em>(a) X: Producers undergo photosynthesis. Y: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. </em>

<em>(b) X: Decomposers return carbon to the soil and release waste. Y: Producers undergo photosynthesis. </em>

<em>(c) X: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. Y: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. </em>

<em>(d)X: Producers absorb carbon through their roots. Y: Decomposers take in carbon dioxide. </em>

<u>Box 2 (X)  would be the process through which producers fix carbon dioxide to produce their own food, the carbohydrate. T</u>he process is otherwise known as photosynthesis and can be represented by the following equation:

6CO_2 + 6H_20 --> C_6H_1_2O_6 + 6O_2

<u>Box 4 (Y) would be the process of decomposition.</u> Both producers and consumers eventually die and decompose in the soil. During this process, some of the carbon returns to the soil as organic matters while the process of microbial decomposition releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

The correct option would be (a).

Compare the stucture of a food web with a food chain
zvonat [6]

 food chain:The simplest representation of energy in a community. At the base is energy stored in plants, which are eaten by small organisms, which in turn are eaten by progressively larger organisms; the food chain is an oversimplification in that most animals do not eat only one type of organism.  

------------------  

food web:the interconnected feeding relationships in an ecosystem. These relationships can be complex; some organisms may feed on more than one trophic level, or changes may occur depending on a species' life history stages or the availability of food.

Common characteristics supporting the idea that the first land plants were related to green algae include __________.
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Presence of chlorophyll  pigment in the leaves and cell walls were made of cellulose

Explanation:

The first plants that appeared on the land areas were comprised of the main component known as the cellulose that forms the cell wall of the plants and is responsible for making the various parts of plants such as branches, plant stems, and leaves, stronger and supportive.

In addition to this, the leaves of these primitive plants were comprised of green pigments known as chlorophyll that absorbs the sunlight and CO₂, and helps the plants in preparing the food for themselves as well as for the consumers, and also liberates oxygen (O₂) with it.

Thus, these are the two common characteristics that supported the idea that the primitive land plants had a relation with the green algae.
