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.

klio [65]

Answer:

1. Aqueous humor.

2. Ciliary muscles.

3. Cone.

4. Cornea.

5. Iris.

6. Optic nerve.

7. Photoreceptor.

8. Retina.

9. Rod.

10. Sclera.

11. Vitreous humor.

Explanation:

A sensory system can be defined as components of the central nervous system (CNS) which comprises of the brain, neural tissues or pathways and sensory neurons responsible for sensory functions, perception and processing sensory informations such as sound, light, heat, etc.

Basically, the central nervous system (CNS) interprete the neural signals that are generated from stimuli that are detected by the sensory system. The five (5) main sense organs in the sensory system are: skin, tongue, ears, nose and the eyes.

An eye can be defined as a specialized organ of sight with the capability to receive visual images that are subsequently transduced into neural signals and relayed to the brain for processing and interpretation. Some of the components of the human eye matched with their description are;

1. Aqueous humor: a transparent liquid which is located between the cornea and iris.

2. Ciliary muscles: muscles attached to the lens to change its shape.

3. Cone: a photoreceptor cell which functions best in bright light. It detects color.

4. Cornea: the transparent portion of the sclera at the front of the eye.

5. Iris: a special part of the choroid layer composed of colorful tissue.

6. Optic nerve: the nerve connecting the eye to the brain.

7. Photoreceptor: specialized cells located in the retina that receive light images.

8. Retina: a delicate light-sensitive membrane covering the inside of the eyeball.

9. Rod: a photoreceptor cell which is sensitive to dim light, but detects no color.

10. Sclera: a fibrous material surrounding the eye to give it shape.

11. Vitreous humor: a transparent jellylike substance filling the eyeball.

In 1986, a nuclear power accident in Chernobyl, USSR (now Ukraine), led to high radiation levels for miles surrounding the plant

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

Radiation leads to mutations that causes genetic drift and decrease fitness.

Explanation:

Radiation is responsible for changing or altering the DNA sequence within a cell.

Radiation either causes mutation or it leads to cell death.

Most of the ionizing radiation causes mutation within the deep inside of our cells which eventually leads genetic drift which means change in the frequency of the allele in a population over time.

Beneficial mutation confer advantage to the organism. But in this case, the mutation is not beneficial and decreases the fitness of the rodent organisms.

Thiobacillus denitrificans is a species of bacteria that obtains its energy from carbon dioxide and inorganic compounds such as

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The correct answer would be - nitrficiation, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.

Explanation:

Thiobacillus denitrification is a facultative, obligate chemolithoautotrophic anaerobic bacterium that is well known for its ability to couple the oxidation of inorganic sulfur-based compounds to denitrification.

The name of the bacterium is derived from its function or the metabolic ability as it performs denitrification on thio (sulfur) based inorganic compounds by the process of oxidation. This process helps in bioremediate groundwater by these processes of nitrogen fixation by oxidation of inorganic compounds of sulfur.

Thus, the correct answer is - nitrification, denitrification, nitrogen fixation, and decomposition.
