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.

Describe the effect of amanitin on the maximum elongation rate for the wild-type and modified RNA polymerases. Determine the rat
Ainat [17]

Answer:

Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.

Explanation:

After treating the wild type and experimental RNA with amanitin solution, the amanitin actively binds to the active site of wild type RNA polymerase, inhibiting addition of nucleotides and also it interferes with the motility of RNA pol. along the DNA template, due to which their is a sharp decline in maximum elongation rate of mRNA. In case of experimental RNA polymerase, due to single base substitution the experimental strain is already having very low elongation rate, but binding of amanitin causes constraint on the motility of RNA polymerase through the DNA template, thereby decreasing the elongation rate. Average max. elongation rate = modified RNA pol./ wild type RNA pol = 2/12 = 0.166 nucleotides per sec.

Which term best describes the number of calories the body uses at rest??
Sever21 [200]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

<span>body mass index
basal metabolic rate
resting heart rate
resting caloric count
</span>
I believe the correct answer is the second option. The term that describes the <span>number of calories the body uses at rest would be basal metabolic rate. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
