How do trees act as carbon sinks?

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.

What types of specimens were you able to view under each of the microscopes in the microscope activity? How did the specimen vie
Lana71 [14]

Under the dissecting microscope I was able to view the surfaces of specimens such as a feather, insect, and leaf.

Under the compound microscope I was able to view a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the surface of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the surfaces under the dissecting microscope. For an example under the compound light microscope I was able to view the leaves surface which contained multiple lines that intertwined into each other and rectangular chambers of green dots. But under the dissecting microscope I was only able to view the surface of the leaf which consisted of thin white cracks in the leaf.

Under the scanning electron I was able to view the internal structure of the following specimens: a leaf, blood, and algae.  

Under the transmission electron I was able to view a more in depth internal structure of the following specimens:a leaf, blood, and algae. I was able to observe the intern

al structures of the specimens in greater detail then I was able to view the internal structures under the scanning microscope. For an example under the TEM I was able to study the internal structure of a leaf which consisted of long thick and thin black and gray lines coated with black rectangles and tiny dots littering he perimeter of what looks to be the internal structure of the leaf. But with the SEM I was only able to view the first layer of the leaf's internal structure which consisted of mushroom like figures surrounded be compound and single molecules.

Which materials undergo radioactive decay? Check all that apply.
ZanzabumX [31]
Atoms that are unstable undergo radioactive decay,

Elements with half life(that's how we know that it decayed),

Atoms that release energy and particles(like alpha beta and gamma particles) and,

Elements that have turned into a new element (as in radioactive decay no. of protons can decrease)

And to be precise the elements that have neutron to proton ratio of more than 1 undergo radioactive decay, since the nuclear attraction gets all weird after that.
