Astudent sets up a compost bin outdoors. inside the bin microorganisms convert the student’s vegetable and paper scraps into rich fertilizer. which of the following best describes the role that these microorganisms play in natural habitats? a the microorganisms balance the numbers of producers and consumers. b the microorganisms keep nutrients cycling through the ecosystem. c the microorganisms turn solar energy into sugars. d the microorganisms function as autotrophs.

B The microorganisms help keep nutrients cycling through the ecosystem.

Explanation:

Microbes form a very important part of the ecosystem. Along with other decomposers like fungi they help to recycle the nutrients.

Microbes break down dead and decaying matter, plant litter and animal waste into smaller components for their own utilization. This decomposition process is accompanied by release of chemicals like nitrogen, phosphorus and carbon in soil and atmosphere which can be again used by plants and animals. Once these animals and plants die, they again go through the same cycle. Hence microorganisms help keep nutrients cycling through the ecosystem.

the transfer for conduction is the heat transfering from the liquid to the spoon

the transfer for convection is the heat rising from the liquid to the air

the transfer for radiation is the heat going through the sides of the cup and to the air

at least that is what i would do

i think the answer is g1

hope i
