Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: In seed plants, the gametophyte generation takes place in a cone or flower, which forms on the mature sporophyte plant. Each male gametophyte is just a few cells inside a grain of pollen. Each female gametophyte produces an egg inside an ovule. Pollination must occur for fertilization to take place. Zygotes develop into embryos inside seeds, from which the next sporophyte generation grows. Q: What develops into embryos inside seeds, from which the next sporophyte generation grows? Choices: - secretions - buds - pupa - zygotes A:
A: zygotes

Q: Answer the following question given this paragraph: The stability of an ecosystem depends on the actions of the decomposers. Examples of decomposers include mushrooms on a decaying log. Bacteria in the soil are also decomposers. Imagine what would happen if there were no decomposers. Wastes and the remains of dead organisms would pile up and the nutrients within the waste and dead organisms would not be released back into the ecosystem. Producers would not have enough nutrients. The carbon and nitrogen necessary to build organic compounds, and then cells, allowing an organism to grow, would be insufficient. Other nutrients necessary for an organism to function properly would also not be sufficient. Essentially, many organisms could not exist. Q: The stability of an ecosystem depends on the actions of what, exemplified by mushrooms on a decaying log and bacteria in soil? Choices: - whitefly - fluxes - aphids - decomposers A:
A: decomposers
