The correct answer is T (True)

Explanation:

In ecology, decomposers are organisms such as fungi or bacteria that obtain energy, nutrients, etc. from dead or decaying organisms including plants and animals. Due to this, decomposers play an important role in food chains as they feed on consumers and producers once they die returning nutrients to the soil that can be used by other organism and levels in food chains which preserves the natural balance. Therefore, it is true decomposers consume nonliving organic matter as they feed on dead organisms which are nonliving organic matter.

What specialized structures does crayfish have that make it well suited to its environment​
Zinaida [17]
Crayfish are invertebrates which means they don't have a backbone. They are also arthropods, which means that they have a protective exoskeleton on the outside of their body. Other arthropods include insects, spiders, and centipedes. Crayfish continually shed their exoskeleton and regrow a new one. During this transition is when they are most vulnerable to predators because they aren't protected by their outer shell.

Crayfish are found all over the world in many different freshwater environments, such as rivers, creeks, springs, and swamps. But this doesn't necessarily mean that you will be able to find them. They are somewhat cryptic because they dig out homes for themselves under rocks and blend in well with their environment. Crayfish will ardently defend this dwelling against intruders using their strong front claws

When farmers leave plant stalks in the field to reduce soil erosion, it is called ____. a. contour farming c. no-till farming b.
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

In no-till farming method, the farmer usually uses a no-till planter with the help of which they make a narrow type of trench that is sufficient enough for the seed to be grown in rows. The residue of the cover crop is allowed to place on the surface of the soil by not plowing, as a result of which the soil is protected from getting eroded and losing of moisture content. This improves soil quality.

This method helps in increasing the water content that percolates down into the soil, holding the organic matter and recycling of nutrient matters. It also expands the growth and population of microbes in the soil, which provides more nutrients to the soil and increases the fertility of the soil.

Thus, when a farmer leaves plant stalks in the field to reduce soil erosion, then it is known as no-till farming.

Hence, the correct answer is option (C).
