Sugar dissolves readily in water because it is a(n) substance

       The answer that fits the blank space is hydrophilic.

Explanation:

       A hydrophilic substance is basically a substance with a very high polarity. If something has a high polarity, it's needed to know where is this polarity, because remember, a polar substance can have non polar and polar bonds, it depends on lots of factors. After stablishing that, we can check the hydrogen bonds, with that, we can confirm that this substance (sugar) will easily dissolve in water.

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.    

i am going to guess that it is co2.
