They break down organic matter in the soil or wherever they are. :)

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

6) How does an offspring of a mushroom or mold (asexual reproduction) compare to its parent?
Verizon [17]

A mushroom or a mold commonly reproduces asexually by the formation of spores. Spores are produced in the sporangium through mitosis involving only one parent. They are released from the parent and germinate into new a mushroom or a mold. The offspring are genetically identical to that parent because their formation do not involve meiosis and fertilization. Spores allow fungi to expand their distribution and colonize new environments.

Which of the following terms describes the distribution of a particular allele within a population
enot [183]
<span>The answer is allelic frequency. This is also the fraction of a particular allele of a gene in the population.   Allelic frequency in a population of diploid individuals is calculated using the Hardy Weinberg equation of p2 + 2pq + q2 = 1. Allelic frequency of all the alleles of the genes must add up to 1 (one).</span>

Where were fossils found in the mississippian time period
jekas [21]

Answer:

Mississippian fossils are abundant in portions of the Midwest and South and include vast beds of limestone and marble.

Explanation:

For example, the domed ceiling of the Jefferson Memorial in Washington, D.C., is made of Indiana limestone that was deposited during the Mississippian Period.By the end of the Carboniferous, reptiles had migrated well toward the interior of Pangea. These early pioneers went on to spawn the archosaurs, pelycosaurs, and therapsids of the ensuing Permian period. (It was the archosaurs that went on to spawn the first dinosaurs nearly a hundred million years later.)

At the start of a 100-yard dash (race), your body relies on which reserve as its energy source?.
Rama09 [41]

The human body reserves creatinine phosphate as the energy source at the start of 100 yard dash (race).

The creatinine phosphate is converted into ATP, which is the energy package of our body. ATP is body's usable form of energy. Energy is stored in various forms in our body such as fats, carbohydrates and proteins. At a microscopic level, it is stored in molecules like creatinine phosphate. Carbohydrate and fats are the primary source of our body followed by proteins.

Our body uses three different forms of metabolism to convert these molecules in ATPs. These three processes are Phosphagen System, Aerobic Respiration and Glycolic/Anaerobic respiration.
