Answer:
Carbon Cycle Definition
Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.
Carbon Cycle Steps
Following are the major steps involved in the process of the carbon cycle:
Carbon present in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.
These plants are then consumed by animals and carbon gets bioaccumulated into their bodies.
These animals and plants eventually die, and upon decomposing, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.
Some of the carbon that is not released back into the atmosphere eventually become fossil fuels.
These fossil fuels are then used for man-made activities, which pumps more carbon back into the atmosphere.

Answer:
Answer is option A.
Orchid bees are to Brazil nut trees as breezes are to pine trees.
Explanation:
In Brazil nut trees, the female orchid bees act as pollinators that help in pollination. In pine trees, wind or breeze helps in pollination.
Pine trees are gymnosperms and so they do not have flowers to attract pollinators like bees or butterflies or birds. They are wind-pollinated. Pine trees are monoecious i.e., both male and female reproductive structures (pine cones) are present on the same tree.
The male cones (catkins) produce pollen grains that are lightweight, less sticky and have air bladders or small wing-like structures. As a result of these features, the pollen grains can be easily carried and dispersed by the breeze. In order to prevent self pollination (pollen falling on the female cones of the same tree), the male cones are normally located on the lower branches of the pine tree.
The female cones are located on the upper branches of the tree and the center of the cone contains eggs or ovules. The pollen grains that are carried by the wind, fall on the female cone of another pine tree. Each pollen grain grows a pollen tube into the center of the cone and the nucleus cell of the pollen travels through the tube and reaches the egg, where it combines with the egg to form an embryo. The embryo eventually grows into a seed. The seeds of pine trees are then dispersed by wind or animals such as squirrels.
Answer:
a.There are three signaling pathway
1- Reception in which molecule binds to receptor
2- Signal transduction in which activation of intracellular pathway and enzyme occur.
3- Cellular response in which specific response of cell occur according to receptor and ligand.
b. Three types of receptors are
1- autocrine
2- paracrine
3- endocrine.
Explanation:
autocrine receptors are signaling pathway in which cell releases its molecule and bind to its own cell receptor example cancer cells while paracrine in which ligand binds to other nearby cell receptor and it is used during development and in endocrine cell target distinct cell and travel through blood stream like hormones functioning.
