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.

Nikolay [14]
Hello! ATP stands for adenosine triphosphate, and ADP stands for adenosine diphosphate. The difference between the two molecules is that ATP has three phosphate group, and ADP has two phosphate groups. ATP is an unstable molecule, which means it will release energy when it becomes reduced to ADP, meaning it will break off one of its phosphate groups. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions! ^-^

Carbon dioxide levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid affect blood pH. This enables the organism to sense a disturbance in
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

C. the medulla oblongata, which is in contact with cerebrospinal fluid, monitors pH and uses this measure to control breathing.

Explanation:

The central chemoreceptors are located near the medulla inside the blood-brain barrier. When CO2 in cerebrospinal fluid increases, pH of the fluid lower (because CO2 becomes hydrated to carbonic acid). Change in pH stimulates the central chemoreceptors to activate respiratory centers which will increase the respiratory rate and depth of breathing.

As we know three most common house hold fuse value sare 3A,5A and 13A.
Reptile [31]

The list of household electrical appliances categorized according to their power consumption and what fuse they will use are:

<u>3A Fuse </u>

  • A table lamp,
  • Computer
  • Blender,
  • Refrigerator  
  • Deep freezer etc.

For every appliance that is rated between 700 and 3000 watts, it's plug should have a 13-amp fuse installed onto it.

<h3>What is a fuse value?</h3>

A fuse rating is the amount of current required to blow (break) the fuse. When a fuse blows, it disconnects power from an electrical system.

The fuse rating is generally printed on the fuse itself. The fuse rating is often expressed in 'amps,' which is the standard measurement for electrical current.

<h3>Why are electrical fuses important?</h3>

If an appliance malfunction results in an excessive current flow, the fuse shuts off the circuit.

If something goes wrong, this safeguards both the wiring and the appliance. A wire that melts easily is within the fuse.

Full Question:

As we know that the three most common household fuse values are 3A, 5A, and 13A.

Make a list of your household electrical appliances. Divide them into three groups according to their power consumption to decide what fuse should be fitted in the plug for each of them.
