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

How do plants transport these micronutrients to the reproductive tissues (tissue)?
Trava [24]
What about transport you might ask well

in plants, how does a Redwood, one of the tallest trees in the world, move water from the soil to the needles on its tallest branches over 300 ft in the air? (That’s over 30 stories high!) Or how does a carrot transport the sugars made in its green, leafy tops below the surface of the soil to grow a sweet, orange taproot? Well, certain types of plants (vascular plants) have a system for transporting water, minerals, and nutrients (food!) throughout their bodies; it’s called the vascular system. Think of it as the plant’s plumbing, which is made up of cells that are stacked on top of one another to form long tubes from the tip of the root to the top of the plant. To learn more about it, let’s study the stem.

miss Akunina [59]

All fibers of the semimembranosus muscle are converged to insert on the posterior tibia.  

Semimembranosus muscle is amongst the hamstring muscles that are present in the posterior region of the thighs. These are the muscles responsible for the extension of the hips and flexion of the knee. The innervation to this muscle is provided by the tibial nerve.

Tibia is also called the shinbone. It is one of the two bones of the lower leg.  The bone carries the maximum of the body's weight and gains support from the fibula, the other bone of the lower leg. Tibia is also the most commonly fractured bone in maximum people.

What cellular process releases energy by converting oxygen and glucose to
Goryan [66]

Answer:

The answer would be B (Aerobic Respiration) because first of all it's a type of respiration, because cellular respiration takes oxygen and glucose and makes it carbon dioxide and water, but

Anaerobic respiration doesn't use oxygen and Aerobic does, so therefore; it is Aerobic Respiration.
