Illusion [34]3 years ago
6 0
Prokaryotes have a significant role in decomposition of organic matter, bringing back key nutrients into the trophic network. By decomposing dead plant or animal parts, they enable the circulation of elements like phosphorus and sodium.
On the other hand, specialized bacteria have a role in transforming nitrogen compounds in the soil, converting them into chemical forms that are suitable for other organisms to use.

Which of the following best explains why herring gull chicks were one of the first species to exhibit the effects of pollution,
prohojiy [21]
The correct answer is A.
Toxins and various pollutants increase in concentration through the food chain in a process called biomagnification. This means that the organisms on the top of the food chain, like the herring gull, have many times greater concentration of toxins than the lower food chain level organisms because they prey on lower food chain level organisms. If a herring gull ears 100 herrings, it will have a 100x times greater concentration of toxins in its body than a herring.
