<u>Answer:</u> C. A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis
<em>A plant absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis can be considered as assimilation in the carbon cycle.
</em>
<u>Explanation:</u>
<em>The process of carbon fixation is called assimilation in carbon cycle. In the atmosphere carbon occurs in the form of carbon dioxide. </em>
By the process of carbon fixation this carbon dioxide is converted into carbon compounds and these act as source of energy in an ecosystem.
Photosynthesis is an example of carbon fixation process. Other processes like chemo-synthesis also fix carbon. <em>Majority of carbon fixation takes place in marine environments. </em>
Galapagos islands are groups of island in the pacific ocean that are known to have a wide range of native animals such as giant tortoise that found no where else on earth. These native animals helped Darwin in the development of the theory of natural significance which attributes to the biological significance of the Galapagos islands. Human species is a threat to the natural wildlife on these islands mainly due to poaching and destruction of natural forests that destroys habitat and also impacts negatively on biological diversity of living organisms.
Answer:
b. The water molecule is polar.
Explanation:
Water molecules forming hydrogen bonds with one another. The partial negative charge on the O of one molecule can form a hydrogen bond with the partial positive charge on the hydrogens of other molecules. Water molecules are also attracted to other polar molecules and to ions.
