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 second messenger most directly causes calcium ions to be released from intracellular stores?
NemiM [27]

Answer: adenylyl cyclase inositol triphosphate mainly known as IP3 causes the release of Calcium ions directly from the inracellular stores and causea contraction.

Explanation:

IP3, inositol phosphate is a second messenger a signaling molecule. It is made by hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), a phospholipid that is located in the plasma membrane, by an enzyme phospholipase C.

IP3 binds to the calcium channels and opens Ca2+ channels that are embedded in the ER membrane, releasing Ca2+ into the cytosol. Calcium ions released may cause contraction and regulate the Ca2+ channels in the membranes.

When Lactate Builds Up In A Runner's Muscles, It Causes A Burning Sensation. What Causes This To Occur?
Fantom [35]

One of the most general forms of discomfort or pain one feels at the time of strenous work out is a burning sensation in the muscles or lungs, which goes away after some time, that is, after stopping the activity. This is a result of an accumulation of lactic acid.

Lactic acid is a by-product of the procedure the body goes through when it requires to generate energy more briskly that it does usually, like when one exercises.

The muscles functioning generally produce energy aerobically, that is, by using oxygen, however, when one push himself or herself at the time of workout and enough oxygen is not accessible, then these muscles start producing energy anaerobically, resulting in production of lactic acid as a by-product and ultimately causing burning sensation.
