Answer:

A

Explanation:

The dead matter from organisms such as plants and animals that die need to be recycled so the nutrients in the matter are released and used up by other organisms. This is how sustainability is achieved in ecosystems through a cyclical nature of nutrients flow. Decomposition of the dead matter is done by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. Without them, the dead matter would accumulate while the soil would lack nutrients for plants to grow and for other bacteria to utilize for energy. This would affect the rest of the food chain/web causing the ecosystem to collapse.

The endocrine system acts through chemical messengers called- -
3241004551 [841]


The best answer is D.

Hormones are chemical messengers  secreted mostly into blood and also extracellular fluid by specialized tissue of the endocrine system and affect the functioning of other tissues or cells.

Most hormones circulate in blood and come in contact with essentially all cells, but a particular hormone will only affect a limited number of cells, which are termed as target cells to that hormone.

A target cell responds to a particular  hormone because it bears receptors for that hormone.

For example the red blood cells have receptors for the  hormone called insulin which is produced by the pancreas. The red cells are able to take in glucose  when their receptors bind to insulin.

When earth completes a full rotation, how much time has elapsed?
DIA [1.3K]

The answer is; 24 hours.

Scientists called the full rotation of the earth a day and divided it into 24 hours on the clock. This means from sunrise to next sunrise. They also divided the earth into latitudes that indicate time zones. When one point on earth rotates and return to the same position in space, it has lapsed 24 hours.

Explain the mechanism by which air masses rise and fall and how it contributes to stratospheric ozone deterioration
Bogdan [553]
