How do biotechnologists help with modern mining methods? A)
They evaluate the microbes contained in minerals to determine the grade of the ore.
B)
They devise methods to kill the microbes in minerals to make the ore more profitable.
C)
They look for ways to genetically engineer microbes to aid in obtaining specific minerals.
D)
They propose ways to genetically engineer microbes to reduce gases created by mining.

C

Explanation:

Microbial mining is when you use microbes to help you obtain specific minerals. Biotechnologists help with this.

from my research i have to the conclusion that decomposers, such as fungi, bacteria and invertebrates, play a critical role in nutrient cycling and without them the earth's ecosystem may not support life as we know it. elements such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus exist in limited amounts on earth, although huge amounts of carbon are being released into the atmosphere from underground sources now by humans. it is still extremely important that other nutrients be retained by the process of re-use. decomposers are organisms that are able to chemically break down dead material and make these elements available for use by other organisms. without this breakdown of dead material, dead bodies would pile up. so decomposers also play a role in clean up also. without them, life might not continue as we know it and dead material would overwhelm the earth.    

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
