What is chemoautotroph?
These are the key biological processes
What are photosynthesis, cellular respiration, decomposition.
The main gas required as a reactant, along with water, for photosynthesis.
What is Carbon Dioxide
This group of organisms, like fungi and bacteria, is essential for returning nutrients from dead matter back to the ecosystem.
