Answer:

By acting as decomposer

Explanation:

Most of the nematodes are found in fresh water but some of them are found in soil as well. The species of nematodes such as round worm (earthworm) living in soils have the ability to feed on dead organic matter and release their carbon into soil thereby converting carbon within them into some usable form. These roundworm also feed on micro organisms such as bacteria, fungi and protozoa.

In a carbon cycle, the last stage requires decomposers to decompose dead and decaying organic matter and release the carbon stored in them into the soil. Since , free living nematodes (round worm) are able to do so therefore they contribute to the carbon cycle

What structural feature does glucose share with larger carbohydrates? A. a ratio of 1 carbon atom to 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxyge
dedylja [7]

The correct answer is option A, that is, a ratio of 1 carbon atom to 2 hydrogen atoms to 1 oxygen atom.  

Carbohydrates are the main source of diet, they provide energy to the body, mainly via glucose, a basic sugar, which is a part of the starch and an ingredient in various staple foods.  

The carbohydrates can be signified by the stoichiometric formula, that is, (CH2O)n. It can be also be stated that the ratio of the carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1: 2: 1 in the molecules of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are further categorized into three sub-kinds, that is, monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharides are the simple sugars, for example, glucose.

Mutations are sometimes helpful in providing food for people. TrueFalse
UNO [17]
True. 
Mostly false though.
If an animal wanted to eat a person that died from a mutation they could but I would say that would be a rare occurance.
