What are the roles of producers consumers and decomposers in an ecosystem

Biology
1 answer:
mariarad [96]3 years ago
3 0

Answer: The producers refers to green plants that carry out the process of photosynthesis in order to produce food for themselves and others. The principal function of producers is to manufacture food for themselves and all other living organisms.

The consumers refers to those living organisms that can not produce their own food and have to depend on the food produce by others. Consumers can be categorized into primary, secondary and tertiary consumers depending on where they are located on the trophic levels. They can also be classified as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores depending on the type of food they eat. The major function of consumers is transference of energy. Consumers transfer the energy they obtain from the food they eat to those animals that feed on them.

The decomposers are those micro organisms that are majorly found in soils.The principal function of decomposers is to break down dead organic matters so that they can be absorbed by the roots of plants. The broken down organic substances serve as nutrients, which the plants used to grow and develop.

These three types of organisms work together in the ecosystem to maintain the balance of the ecosystem.

Without decomposers, dead leaves, dead insects, and dead animals would pile up everywhere. Imagine what the world would look like! More importantly, decomposers make vital nutrients available to an ecosystem's primary producers—usually plants and algae.

Answer: i believe it is mutation

Explanation: An insertion mutation occurs when an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA strand during replication. This can happen when the replicating strand "slips," or wrinkles, which allows the extra nucleotide to be incorporated (Figure 2). Strand slippage can also lead to deletion mutations.

Where is dna located in a cell that is not going through cell division?
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Actually, cell division is the mechanism by which DNA is passed from one generation of cells to the next and ultimately, from parent organisms to their offspring. During meiosis, the cells needed for sexual reproduction divide to produce new cells called gametes.

The skin is richly supplied with arteriovenous anastomoses in which blood flows directly between an artery and a vein, bypassing
yaroslaw [1]

Answer: Temperature control

Explanation:

Arterio-venous anastomoses (AVAs) are direct connections between small arteries and small veins. In humans they are numerous in the glabrous skin of the hands and feet.

They are very significant in body temperature control. These temperature control are under the dual control of the central nervous system and the local thermal influence. While the arteriovenous anastomoses control the skin temperature through volume changes in the superficial venous bed, the arterioles and capillaries operate by generalized dilatation which results both in increased temperature and in redness of the skin.
