How do trees act as carbon sinks?

Biology
2 answers:
Romashka [77]2 years ago
5 0


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.

Explain how the terms oxidation and reduction apply even when there is only a partial shift of electrons between atoms linked by
aliina [53]

Explanation:

In a covalent bond, there is sharing of the donated electron by two atomic species having very small electronegative differences between them.

Oxidation is the loss of electrons by a specie and it usually lead to an increase in oxidation number.

Reduction is the gain of electrons by a specie. It leads to a lower oxidation number.

Since there is no actual loss of gain of electrons in a covalent body, the electronegativiy is at work.

Electronegativity is the ability of a specie to draw the shared electrons more to itself in a covalent bond.

  • Between two atoms bonded covalently, the more electronegative specie draws the electrons closer.
  • This leaves a partial negative charge on it.
  • The other electron then becomes partially positively charged.
  • We can then say, the more electronegative specie undergoes reduction.
  • The less electronegative one undergoes oxidation.

suppose a cell wishes to make a protein that has 100 amino acid. How many water molecules will be created in the making of this
slega [8]
The answer is 99.

Amino acids <span>contain a carboxyl group (carbon-containing) and an amino group (nitrogen containing). Proteins are made by forming peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino group of amino acids.
</span>If a protein is made of 100 amino acids, that means there are 99 peptide bonds (because the last, 100th amino acid will not bind the next (101st) amino acid). For each peptide bond that is created, one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms are taken. Therefore, one water molecule is created for each peptide bond. If there are 99 peptide bonds, 99 water molecules are created.

A population of mice exists with both brown and black varieties. The mice live among sandy beach dunes where hawks prey on the m
fomenos

Answer:

Adaptation

Explanation:

In this case predation is the selection pressure for natural selection in the mice population. Because the black mice stand out against the brown sand dunes backdrop, they are easily located and predated on by the hawks. Therefore, black mice have a lower chance (compared to brown mice) to reach reproductive age and pass down their genes to the next generation. With subsequent generations, therefore, there will be more and more brown mice in the population.
