How do trees act as carbon sinks?

Biology

Romashka [77]3 years ago

The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.

URGENT!!!!!!!!!!!!Which are examples of convection currents? Check all that apply.
Aloiza [94]
I believe a pot of water that is being heated by a electric burner. This is because the warmer water moves to the top and the cooler water moves down to the bottom of the pot. This causes a circular motion. The next example of convection heat is a hot air ballon rising and falling in the atmosphere. A radiator is also because the hot air is drawn out the top and the cooler air is drawn to the bottom.

Anna007 [38]

A baker has created a new strain of yeast which contains no cytochrome c gene and no cytochrome c protein. this will affect what the yeast strain can do to obtain energy. what will this yeast strain do more of compared to a normal strain

Will this new strain of yeast obtain more or less free energy from glucose in its growing medium?

Answer: Less because cytochrome c is key to the electron transport chain.

Explanation:

The Cytochrome c is an essential component of the electron transport chain. Without this there will be no oxidation and reduction of iron atom will take place which could convert the ferrous ions to ferric ions. Thus the entire process of electron transport chain and energy production in the form of ATP will be compromised. So, there will be no production of energy in the anaerobic fermentation by yeast.
