A. The increased biomass in the sunlit dish came from the carbon and oxygen atoms present in the carbon dioxide it took up during photosynthesis that it used to synthesize organic molecules.
Plants use photosynthesis in order to convert light energy (from the sun) into chemical energy, stored in carbohydrate molecules (such as sugars). This chemical energy can be further transformed to fuel some of the organism's activities. This chemical reaction (photosynthesis) is light-dependent and includes the use of carbon dioxide and water to produce sugars and oxygen. The seeds that were put on a sunny windowsill had plenty of light energy needed for their photosynthetic activity. This resulted in the accumulation of sugar molecules in the plant tissues and an increase in the biomass. These sugar molecules were synthesized by the carbon and oxygen atoms comprising the carbon dioxide molecules absorbed during photosynthesis.
B. The most likely explanation for the why the dark-grown seedling lost biomass is that cellular respiration in the cells of the seedlings consumed the starch and oils present in the seed as sources of energy.
Plants use cellular respiration in order to constantly supply energy to their cells. This chemical reaction uses the sugar molecules produced by the photosynthesis and stored in the plant tissues to get energy. Seeds put in a dark cupboard did not have access to any light energy, therefore, they could not perform photosynthesis. As a result, they had to perform respiration and consume starch and oils which were present in the seed to get the necessary energy. This resulted in a reduction in their biomass.

Answer:
Natural selection doesn't really choose what animal/species is going to survive it's all based on the environment they live in. While a blue bird does well in the jungle it may not do well in the desert. For individuals it's based on their genes and genetics. Some are more prone to have a trail that doesn't benefit them and in fact, harms them in their environment. For populations you will see lots of the same animals but with different traits so some may do better in the wild than others because of those traits. A population is more likely to be successful because you do better when working with others. So animals have a better chance to survive if there is more diversity.

Measuring and understanding the chemicals that are released during decomposition can be studied and the effects of these chemicals can be measured. Effects on the environment (soil composition, water quality, animal health) can all be affected by a decomposing body. When scientists are able to understand these effects, they can better prepare and prevent the harmful effects while reaping the benefits that could be useful.
