Answer:  a. to decompose dead animals

Explanation:

Detritivores are the hetrotrophic organisms which feed upon detritus (dead and decaying plant and animal matter). These detritivores break down the biological dead matter into simple molecules which are readily consumed by the small microorganisms present in the soil. Detritivores are essential for the ecosystem as they return important materials such as carbon and other essential elements back to the environment after decomposing the dead matter. Example of common detritivores includes earthworms.

On the basis of the above explanation, the role of a detritivore is a. to decompose dead animals.

3) The dimensions of your living room are 13 ft. by 16 ft. How many square meters of carpet
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

19.32 m²

Explanation:

The area of a living room is the product of its length and breadth. The area is given by:

Area = length × breadth

1 meter = 3.28 feet. Hence:

Length = 16 ft

16 ft = 16\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =4.88\ m

Breadth = 13 ft

13 ft = 13\ ft*\frac{1\ m}{3.28\ ft} =3.96\ m

Area = length × breadth = 4.88 m × 3.96 m = 19.32 m²

Hence 19.32 m² of carpet is needed for the living room

You are a scientist who discovers three new species of beetles in the jungles of South America. Describe, in detail, how a prote
Elenna [48]
Since all of the three beetle species posses the protein, we can use it to determine their relations. We can study the sequence of the amino acids that make the protein and the 3D structure of the protein. The more differences there are in amino acid sequences and the structure of the protein, the species are more distantly related because they have diverged a long time ago and their genes that produce that protein have undergone many changes over time.

Phosphofructokinase is an allosteric enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of fructose 6-phosphate to fructose 1,6-bisphosphate,
zhenek [66]
I believe in the presence of oxygen, an increase in the amount of ATP in a cell would be expected to inhibit the enzyme and therefore, slow the rates of glycolysis and the citric acid cycle. Phosphofructokinase is and enzyme that phosphorylates fructose 6 phosphate in glycolysis. It is an important control enzyme in the regulation of cellular respiration. It is inhibited by ATP and is an allosteric enzyme.
