An autotroph is an organism that produces its own food from simple substances available in its environment. Autotrophs usually use inorganic chemical reactions or light energy in producing their food and are usually the producers in a food chain. Examples of autotrophs are plants and algae.
Commensalism is a type of relationship between organisms of two species where one organism benefits from the relationship and the other organism is not affected by it (neither benefits nor harmed).
Explanation:
The cell is the basic unit of life
Answer:
D) The fungicide will reduce the stability of the ecosystem because nutrients in the soil will be less likely to be recycled, directly impacting plant nutrition and growth.
Explanation:
Fungicide are primarily applied to an area to kill off fungi species in that place.
Fungi are very important groups of organisms. They are natural "recyclers".
In a food chain or web they can be classified as decomposers.
Decomposers are organisms that takes feeds on dead and decaying organic matter.
The produce useful materials and releases nutrients from life back into nature.
Killing them off by applying fungicides is a damaging act to their sustenance.
Without decomposers such as fungi, the ecosystem becomes less stable and soil nutrients will not be properly recycled.
