The trees of mangrove forests live in shallow salt water, usually along shores of land masses within 30° of the equator. mangrove forests are rich in biodiversity and serve as the nursery for many ocean organisms. one of the keys to the vitality of a mangrove ecosystem is its rich muddy soil. the mud of a mangrove forest is deep, thick, and full of organic nutrients. but underneath its thin top layer, the mud has very little oxygen. mangrove forests, though beautiful to see, often smell like rotten eggs. which organisms are most likely responsible for recycling nutrients in the ground of a mangrove forest? sac fungi slime molds soil nematodes anaerobic bacteria

Ans.

Mangrove forest often show a distinct smell like rotten eggs. The reason behind that smell is hydrogen peroxide, which is also known as rotten egg gas. in mangrove forests, hydrogen peroxide is released by various anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria are responsible for the nutrients recycling in these forests as they breakdown the detritus organic matter present in soil and release nutrients for plants.

Thus, the correct answer is 'anaerobic bacteria.'

hydroxyl -oh

alcohols, always polar, can form hydrogen bonds with h2o molecules

carboxyl -cooh  

cargoxylic acids, has acidic properties which is a source of hydrogen ions, found in cells in ionized for with a charge of oh-1

carbonyl > co

ketone if within skeleton, aldehyde if group is at the end of skeleton, k & a may be structural isomers, it determines 2 sugars (ketose & aldose)

amino -nh2

amines, acts as a base, it can pick up h+ ions from surrounding solution, ionized with charge of 1+

methyl ch2

addition to rna/dna affects and gene expression

phosphate -opo3 ²⁻

organic phosphates, contributes to negative charge to, molecule that it is a part of, and potential to react with h20

sulfhydryl -sh

thiols, cross-linking stabilize the protein, and it is structure

answer; i believe the correct answer is (data); /// good luck
