8 0

Answer:

In the absence of decomposers, soil, air, and water would not be replenished, and all the nutrients present would soon get exhausted. Hence, the cyclic process of life and death would be disrupted and life would come to an end.

Bryophytes never formedforests (mats maybe, but not forests)
podryga [215]

Answer:

C) they lack lignified vascular tissue. ( Since they do not have vascular tissues, they are not able to develop vertically like the trees we know.)

Explanation:

A) Plants do not have "sperm". They have sporophytes or gametophytes.

B) No specific parasitic bacteria of bryophytes are known.

D) In fact, they have. Although they require water for their reproduction, some species of bryophytes are found in deserts.

E) Rhizoids are not weak, otherwise they would not have the ability to keep bryophytes attached (mosses).

The body felt cool to the touch. The thermometer gave a reading of 70˚F. No rigor mortis was evident, but permanent livor mortis
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Basically enzyme activities are affected by drop in temperature. in additions the corpse was cool to touch.Therefore this  explains while there was no bloating or bacteria activity since the decomposing  bacteria  enzymes  were inactive because of the cold temperature.

Consequently, if the Livor mortis (lividity) is +8hrs 0-4days, evidently  the corpse must have been refrigerated after livor mortis sets in, with the decomposition slowed down by the cold environment.

Notes: Algor mortis is 26.8hrs, and there was no algor mortis.
