<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>
An increase in the total biomass of consumers in the world
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Carbon fixation is the process through which carbon dioxide is removed from the air and incorporated into an organic molecule.
- Carbon fixation occurs during the light independent reaction of photosynthesis and is the first step in the C3 or Calvin Cycle.
- The Calvin cycle uses the energy from short-lived electronically excited carriers to convert carbon dioxide and water into organic compounds that can be used by the organism.
Human activites have greatly increased carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and nitrogen levels in the biosphere. Altered Altered biogeochemical cycle combined with climate change increase the vulnerability of biodiversity, food security, human health, and water quality to a changing climate.
Answer:
The microorganism creates its own energy.
Explanation:
Based on the pattern of nutrition, a living organism can either be autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophic organisms are those organisms capable of synthesizing its own food or energy source using light (photosynthesis) or chemicals (chemosynthesis). Heterotrophs, on the other hand, cannot synthesize their own food, hence, they depend on other organisms for energy.
According to this question, a researcher claims that a newly discovered microorganism is an autotroph. For this claim to be true, this means that the microorganism must be capable of CREATING ITS OWN FOOD/ENERGY either by photosynthesis (light) or chemosynthesis (inorganic chemicals).
