Logging trees rabbits burning fossil fuels, such as oil bobcats algae request answer part c detritus is composed of _____. Detritus is composed of _____. Detritivores dead organic matter inorganic minerals?

Answer 1

1. Answer;

-Decomposition

The process by which detritivores return carbon to the atmosphere is decomposition.

Explanation;

-Decomposers, organisms that break down organic compounds (which eventually leads to mineralization, the process of turning organic material into inorganic material). Decomposition releases compounds sequestered in non-living organic matter. This may include whole dead organisms, fragments such as leaves, fecal matter, or practically anything you throw into the compost pile.

-Decomposition occurs in three stages, always beginning with dead organic matter and involving many bacteria, fungi, and detritus feeders. Since this dead organic matter can be complex, there must be a succession of species to complete the process.

2. Answer;

-Algae

Algae removes carbon from the atmosphere.

Explanation;

-CO2 is removed from the atmosphere primarily by photosynthesis and returned by respiration. Land plants, algae and cyanobacteria (autotrophic organisms or producers) are converting inorganic carbon (atmospheric CO2, dissolved CO2) in organic carbon (biomass).

-All algae contain chlorophyll even though they may not appear green. Some algae are red or brown in color this is because they contain more red or brown.pigments (colour). Chlorophyll is like a factory within algae and is used to make its own sugars. These sugars are called glucose. All algae cells contain chlorophyll. Algae also need carbon dioxide to make sugars.  Algae are good for the environment as they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make energy.

3. Answer;

-Dead organic matter and excreted wastes

Detritus is composed of dead organic matter and excreted wastes.

Explanation;

-Detritivores are also referred to as decomposers who get their energy from detritus; eaten by secondary and tertiary consumers. There are many examples of detritivores; some of them include millipedes, dung beetles, earthworms, fiddler crabs and sea cucumbers. Earthworms eat decaying plant and animal matter in the soil.

-Decomposers break down the dead organisms through decomposition while the detritivores consume the decaying organisms.

Answer 2

Answer: Decomposition; Algae; Dead and decaying organic matter

Explanation:

The process by which the detrivores can bring the carbon back into atmosphere. The decomposers are the organism that break down the organic matter into inorganic materials in the soil.

The algae uses the carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere and use it for the process of photosynthesis. Algae, plants and some organism use this carbon dioxide to convert into glucose in the presence of sunlight.

Detritus is composed of dead and decaying organic matters. The detrivores are the organism that feed on the detritus for obtaining energy. It serves as food for them.

Example: earth worm, beetle, sea urchin et cetera.
