First, it is necessary that this scientist decide on what point of the Cretaceous period he wants to study. Among several points he may want to study the evolution of microorganisms of that time, the life of a dinosaur species, or the evolution of dinosaurs, the flora that was established during this period, among others. This is the phase of the scientific method called Observation.
After that, he must enter the phase called "Elaboration of hypotheses" where he will raise questions about the point he decided to study. "How many flower species existed in that period?", "How many of these flowers can we observe today?" among others.
After that, he will enter the phase called "Experimentation", where he will establish a type of experiment and all the experimental factors and variables that will allow the hypotheses to be answered.
After the experiment he will collect the data that will be analyzed and that will give results that will answer the hypotheses previously established. This is the phase called "Analysis of the results".
At that moment, he will be able to reach the last phase of the scientific method, the phase called "conclusion", where he will show the conclusions that the experiment allowed to be established.
The answer would be D. Shrubs, fungi, insects, and bacteria. Shrubs and fungi are definitely main decomposers and insects and bacteria do consume dead matter and waste so they also count as decomposers.
Water Cycle:
1. It is stored in the ground.
2. Evaporation, transportation, precipitation
3. Runoff comes straight from precipitation. Infiltration is from the ground while run off never went in the ground.
4. It will usually end up in the same place, the ocean
5. Water levels rise, temperatures rise, CO2 in atmosphere increases
Carbon Cycle:
1. Carbon is important because it is one of the basic building blocks of life.
2. Trees, animals, grass, decomposition, combustion, fossil fuels
3. Carbon enters as photosynthesis.
4. Carbon enters water to the soil decomposition. Aquatic plants have plenty of water to work with, so their main challenge is getting enough sunlight and air.
6. By breathing in the oxygen from plants.
7. Two ways carbon return from animals into water is through cellular respiration and decomposition.
8. Combustion is when we dig up the fossil fuel and burn it, then what is left goes into the air starting the cycle again.
9. Deforestation reduces the capacity of forests to be carbon sinks.
Nitrogen Cycle:
1. Nitrogen is important because it helps us grow crops, and it produces grass for animal.
2. It comes from lightning and is named nitrogen fixation.
3. Ammonification and then transitions into nitrification and then to assimilation.
Phosphorus Cycle:
1. It forms part of life sustaining molecules like DNA and RNA.
2. Phosphorus is never found in the atmosphere.
<span>John could make some simple changes to his breakfast to increase his fiber intake. Instead of orange juice, he could drink juice with added fiber such as V8 juice or fiber added grape juice. Instead of corn flakes, he could eat a high fiber cereal such as Grape Nuts. Instead of white toast, he could eat a slice of high fiber whole wheat bread. He can make some simple substitutions that will really impact his diet and his health.</span>
