Nutrients are chemical substances found in every living thing on Earth. They are necessary to the lives of people, plants, animals, and all other organisms. Nutrients help break down food to give organisms energy. They are used in every process of an organism’s body. Some of the processes are growth (building cells), repair (healing a wound), and maintaining life (breathing).
Plants and other autotrophs absorb nutrients from soil and water. Autotrophs are organisms that can make their own food. The most important nutrients they need are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Other nutrients needed by plants are nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and sulfur.
From these basic nutrients, plants and other autotrophs synthesize, or create, their own nutrients, such as sugars. The human body can also synthesize some nutrients, such as amino acids. However, most organisms need nutrients created by autotrophs. People and animals get most of their nutrients from food.
Essential nutrients are nutrients that the human body is unable to synthesize. They must be obtained from food or water. Essential nutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals.
The abiotic factors that could cause the sea cucumbers to
differ their distance from one another are temperature, time of the day, and
humidity. The biotic factors that could influence are the organisms around
these creatures. Furthermore, the independent variable in this study is the
time of the day where observed are the average distance between these sea
creatures and their output, the distribution of sea cucumbers as the dependent
variable.
Hypothesis: There is a link between the time of the day and the distance of sea cucumbers amongst each other.
The oxygen-poor blood enters the heart from the body through the SVC, or, the superior vena cava. The oxygen-poor blood then enters the right atrium (RA) of the heart.
