Carbon is a reactant in the process of photosynthesis but a product in the process of cellular respiration.

<h3>What is carbon cycle?</h3>

Carbon cycle is the physical cycle of carbon through the Earth’s biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere.

It is the series of processes by which carbon compounds are interconverted in the environment, that includes such processes as

  • photosynthesis
  • decomposition
  • respiration
  • carbonification

Carbon cycle involves the incorporation of carbon dioxide into living tissue by photosynthesis and its return to the atmosphere through respiration, the decay of dead organisms, and the burning of fossil fuels.

Therefore, carbon is present in the atmosphere as a reactant during photosynthesis and as a product during cellular respiration.

It is best to say that the protection to properties offered by sea walls along coasts _______.
Mashcka [7]

Answer: a.  decreases the present and future risk to human properties

Explanation:

Properties along the coasts can be in danger when high tides come in. This can however be mitigated by walls protecting those properties as it would take a significantly high tide (flood proportion) to scale those walls and come in and damage the property.

These walls therefore not only decrease the present risk to human properties but if maintained, decrease the future risks as well.

The data obtained from the meselson–stahl experiment after one generation of replication eliminated the dispersive model of dna
Sedaia [141]
<h2>Given statement is false</h2>

Explanation:

According to dispersive model of DNA replication,DNA molecules are hybrids of parental and daughter DNA;In this model each individual strand is a combination of original and new DNA

Meselson and Stahl did an experiment on DNA replication using E.coli bacteria

  • E.coli was grown in a medium containing heavy isotope of nitrogen,bacteria took up the nitrogen and used to synthesize new biological molecules,including DNA
  • It was grown for many generations,the nitrogenous bases of the bacteria's DNA were all labelled with heavy nitrogen
  • Bacteria were then switched to light nitrogen isotope and allowed to grow for several generations
  • They then measured the density of the DNA using density gradient centrifugation
  • This method separates molecules such as DNA into bands by spinning them at high speeds in the presence of another molecule, such as cesium chloride
  • Each DNA produced two DNA molecules each with one new strand and one old strand called semi conservative replication(half of the parental DNA conserved in daughter DNA)
  • Each DNA strand act as a template for synthesis of new strand
  • Hence,dispersive model of DNA was eliminated and semi-conservative model of DNA replication was proved by the above experiment
