le carbon cycle, number the steps that would follow.
1.Step 1
A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis.
2. Step 2
The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.
3. Step 3
The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.
4. Step 4
A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves.
5. Step 5
A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar.

The correct order would be:

1. A tree absorbs the carbon from the atmosphere into its leaves for photosynthesis;

2. A caterpillar gets the carbon by eating the tree's leaves.

3. A bird gets the carbon by eating the caterpillar.

4. The bird flies into a building and dies instantly. It falls to the ground.

5. The bird decomposes and the carbon returns to the atmosphere.

The carbon cycle is very similar to the water cycle, though it has its own unique ways. Once the carbon is released into the atmosphere, it will either be absorbed by the vegetation, or go up into the higher parts of the atmosphere. If it is absorbed by the vegetation, the organisms that eat the vegetation will get it in them. When the predators eat those organism they get the carbon into their organisms. When the predators die, they start to decompose. When they decompose, the carbon is released from them and it returns to the atmosphere, and the whole process goes all over again.

Olenka [21]

acetyl CoA: Acetyl coenzyme A or acetyl-CoA is an important molecule in metabolism, used in many biochemical reactions. Its main function is to convey the carbon atoms within the acetyl group to the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.

Answer:

Capsule

Explanation:

In many bacterial species, an extracellular layer composed of a polysaccharide especially a monosaccharide is produced around the cell wall of the bacteria. This extracellular layer is known as the slime layer or the capsule.

The capsule in bacteria serves many purposes like it protects the bacteria from the destruction by the white blood cell in the host, it enables the bacteria to adhere to the substrates and protect it.

In the plant group called the bryophytes also a capsule structure is present which grows in the sporophytic phase and encloses the spores, therefore, the capsule is considered the sporangium of the bryophytes.

Thus, the capsule is correct.

What type of monomers are combined to form carbohydrates?.
Illusion [34]
Saccharides are the monomers which are combined to form carbohydrates.

Depending on the type of carbohydrate, the monomer components can be monosaccharides, disaccharide, polysaccharide, etc.

E.g: Sucrose is a carbohydrate (specifically a dissacharide) that is made of glucose and fructose monosaccharides.

Another example is cellulose, which is a carbohydrate (specifically a polysaccharide) that is made of beta glucose monosaccharide components combined together.
