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.
Cell division occurs in all living organisms. This is known as mitosis.
The advantages of a larger organisms to subdivide themselves into smaller cells is that as all organisms grow, some of their cells die or get damaged with time and need replacements. So,it divides into smaller cells because when a cell becomes large, it demands more of cell places of its DNA. If the cell grows too large, it will have trouble moving enough nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. So to grow properly the cells need to be divided.

By placing the pots with detergent in the sun and the pots
without detergent in the shade, the student is not comparing the effects that
detergent has in the growing rate of the seeds under the same conditions;
besides, he does not have a control group. Therefore, he will not be able to
determine if the growing rate of the plants were affected by the detergent, the
lack of sunlight, or a combination of both factors.
Dr. Pringle suggests that there's only very few large herbivorous species that can survive in certain area. The reason behind his claim is that according to him there will be only enough food for few large species, so there's natural limitations in the food sources, as there should be enough to support them in order for them to survive.
On the other hand, in Mpala, there's 22 large herbivorous species, which directly contradicts Dr. Pringle's hypothesis. The reason why so many large species of herbivores an survive in Mpala and always have enough food for all of them, is that they have all specialized in eating certain types of plants or parts of plants, thus they are not direct competition to one another, and there's always enough food for all of them.
