Protists obtain food in 3 ways. They produce their own organic molecules, ingest, and absorb. Ingestive protists ingest food, or engulf bacteria. These protists extend their cell wall and cell membrane forming a food vacuole around the food item. Inside the food vacuole, enzymes digest the food. Absorptive protists on the other hand, absorb food molecules across their cell membrane which takes place through diffusion. Absorptive protists play a key role in decomposition. They are considered as important decomposers. Major producers like photosynthetic protists use light energy to manufacture their own food.<span>

It's no longer the dead-end of the carbon cycle. Since the industrial revolution, this material has been taken out of the ground (by Oil and Gas companies) which is for the most part subsequently burned - of which the final by-product is CO2. This fossil material also goes into making plastics and other chemicals - so the "dead-end of the carbon cycle" is not quite so straight forward anymore.
Explanation:
Molecules of reactants and products undergoes chemical changes when they combine.
The combination leads to the breaking of bonds and rearrangement and this brings about the formation of new products.
- Atoms in molecules tends towards stability
- They often want to mimic the noble gases and would keep rearranging until stability is attained.
- This leads to the formation of new compounds in the product end of the reaction.
