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.

Why is it important that scientists haven’t identified a lokiarcheota as a cell yet?
ANTONII [103]
It's important because we need the scientists to discover where it is. the lokiarchaeota is a main cause for infections, and diseases, and if we identify it, and study it, we may know how to cure certain diseases, and how to prevent them.

Scientists at Russia’s Vostok Station in eastern Antarctica drilled the longest ice core ever recorded. They compiled this graph
Wittaler [7]
The data supports the fourth choice, that increasing air temperature and CO2 levels correlate with a decrease in dust concentration.

The first choice is unlikely to reflect dust concentration, and is more likely to be for air temperature. The second choice is false, because the dust concentration is more of a decreasing trend. The third choice is not true, as the spikes in air temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentrations seem to occur simultaneously, implying a positive correlation.

Compare passive and active transport through the cell membrane, including energy use and concentration gradients.
sweet [91]
Passive transport vs active transport sounds like what it is. In passive transport, there is no energy needed to get the molecules across the cell membrane, whereas in active transport, energy is expended getting the molecules across the membrane. Basically in active transport the ATP in your cells gives one of it’s phosphates to the transport proteins in your cell membrane and it lets select molecules in. These molecules are moving through a concentration gradient during active transport(with the help of ATP), from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration.
