When an organism dies‚ what will most likely happen to the nutrients in its body? - The nutrients are released back into the environment to be recycled by other organisms. 16. Fungi are decomposers in a food web. 17. Why are food webs more commonplace than food chains? - In most ecosystems‚ energy does not flow in straight paths. 18.

By the year 2050 the world’s population will reach 9.1 million. In order to feed this larger population food production must increase. And it demands high crop yield to provide food for all. For this purpose the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has been very high. Though satisfactory crop yield is obtained by the application of chemical fertilizers and pesticides‚ their use brings out certain disadvantages. These include pollution of large water resources‚ destruction of microorganisms

standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom‚ Agaricus bisporus; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota‚ Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (stipe)‚ a cap (pileus)‚ and gills (lamellae‚ sing. lamella) or pores on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" describes a variety of gilled fungi‚ with or without stems‚ and the term is used even more generally‚ to describe both the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota and the woody or leathery

represents the smallest and least complex of all organisms. Through the process of mutation and adaptation they were able to survive to evolve into our modern day Bacteria‚ Archaea‚ Fungi and Protists. These post organisms have benefited from their early ancestor‚ by way of Endosymbiosis. Intricate protest and fungi are also able to use these genetic and chemical changes to their advantage and are very successful organisms. A prokaryote is a single celled organism that is lacking a nucleus‚ mitochondria

Introduction The ocean has the oldest‚ most diverse‚ most numerous and least studied organisms on earth. It covers almost three fourths of our planet and has the potential to feed the world and supply cures for many diseases. Studying sea plants and animals is a challenge that is becoming easier due to advanced technologies such as deep-sea submersibles‚ sonar‚ lasers‚ videos‚ and satellites. In many cases‚ it ’s simply too hard to make a drug from scratch. The chemistry is too complicated. So

J. Scales and Gayle Newcombe ABSTRACT The global increase in detection of cyanobacteria and their metabolites has prompted greater emphasis in optimizing water treatment options for their effective removal. In particular‚ conventional coagulation and clarification processes have been shown to be effective in removing whole cyanobacterial cells‚ and consequently a majority of the metabolites. However‚ the resultant cyanobacterial-laden sludge is often not closely monitored in treatment plants
