I wrote a paragraph summing the importance of Carbon a while back, see if it helps find your answer. :)

Carbon is an element on the periodic table with the symbol C, and the atomic number 6. There are many reasons that carbon is vital to life on earth, not only to humans but to plants as well. First of all, humans are made of eighteen percent carbon. It is not only found in humans, it is also found in every organism currently known, including plants in a technological way. To plants, carbon flows inside of their cells. They need it to create glucose which then works as food. To humans, it's used in many science sets. It is used in a vast array of compounds including gasoline. Gasoline is what keeps motors around the world running, and it's made up of hydrocarbons with at least 5 carbon atoms each. It also aids the greenhouse effect, keeping the earth warm and habitable by human beings.

<h2>Reproductive Method </h2>

Explanation:

The rank in order from the most specific which is following .

(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism

(2) Sperm-egg incompatibility in sea urchins

(3) Gametic isolation 

(4)Prezygotic isolating mechanism

(1) Reproductive isolating mechanism- The components of regenerative confinement are an assortment of transformative instruments, practices and physiological procedures basic for speciation. They keep individuals from various species from delivering posterity, or guarantee that any posterity are sterile.

(2) Sperm-egg contradiction in ocean urchins- Bindin is a gamete acknowledgment protein known to control species-explicit sperm-egg grip and layer combination in ocean urchins.

(3)Gametic isolation - Prezygotic hindrances keep preparation from occurring. Gametic disengagement is a sort of prezygotic hindrance where the gametes (egg and sperm) come into contact, yet no preparation happens. Gametes might be not able to remember each other in various species

(4) Prezygotic isolating mechanism- while postzygotic segregation forestalls the arrangement of rich posterity. Prezygotic systems incorporate environment segregation, mating seasons, "mechanical" disconnection, gamete detachment and conduct seclusion.

Why is oxygen important for all body cells?

Masja [62]

Answer:

Our body cells require oxygen to release energy.

Explanation:

The oxygen that we take in during respiration is used to break down the food we eat to release energy from it. When we breathe in oxygen, it diffuses into blood from the lung, where it is transported by red blood cells to the entire body to be used to produce energy.
