A single species that has evolved into several different forms that live in different ways has undergone "b. convergent evolution" since the multiple "divergent" species are seen to "converge" into a single species if you go back far enough in time.
Explanation:
Two important ways by which humans have affected the carbon cycle, especially in recent history, are: 1) the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during the burning of fossil fuels, and 2) the clearing of trees and other plants (deforestation) that absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere
Last one - Biodiversity is the diversity of species in an area, which makes an ecosystem better prepared for major changes
Explanation:
If one crop struggles to grow then there will be plenty of others to substitute it. If a prey animal is dying at a faster rate and harder to find, predators can have other prey options and so forth. Biodiversity makes it so ecosystems can get past change.
Carbonate groups contain a single carbon atom, and three oxygen atoms in a trigonal molecular geometry. The carbon atom has two single bonds to two oxygen atoms and a double bond to the third oxygen atom. Therefore, in addition to carbon, carbonate minerals contain oxygen. An example of a carbonate mineral is calcium carbonate, often found within rocks.
