The Life of Cameron the Carbon Atom

What a view! Sunsets look beautiful when you’re all the way up into the atmosphere. I’m having so much fun with my 2 oxygen friends. Life is so simple when you are a carbon atom. Just floating around, bumping into other atoms, jumping on clouds. Whoosh! Now life isn’t so boring anymore! Inside of a plant, what fun! I feel very important, being used for photosynthesis like this. Everything is very green-tinged. It must be the chlorophyll, or maybe I’m just woozy from the sudden change of height. Hang on. Oh no! The plant is being eaten by an animal! Goodbye cruel world….

Oh wait. I’m still here. The plant has gone, but now I’m inside an antelope. This is very strange. I think I preferred it when I was jumping on clouds.  

This is the worst day of my life. I’m part of waste. Such a loss of dignity. I bet my oxygen friends are laughing at me in the sky. At least my life is more exciting now, if not slightly smellier. Here come the microorganisms. Releasing lots of enzymes, making the waste decay. Maybe that’s not such a bad thing. I quite like life inside a microorganism. I’m not the biggest fan of being eaten by a tiny bug, but needs must.

I’m flying again! The microorganism respired and I’ve been released from my prison of life on Earth! I believe I can fly……

I’m back with all my oxygen buddies in the atmosphere! I’ve caught up with all the gossip, hung out the clouds and I’m almost myself again. Hang on, its starting again, I’m being pulled back! Will I ever escape.....

The End

2. In a classroom experiment, you ground up some spinach in distilled water and filtered the liquid onto a piece of filter paper
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Mitochondria; cellular respiration.

Explanation:

A cell can be defined as the fundamental or basic functional, structural and smallest unit of life for all living organisms. Some living organisms are unicellular while others are multicellular in nature.

A unicellular organism refers to a living organism that possess a single-cell while a multicellular organism has many (multiple) cells.

Basically, mitochondria is one of the cell organelles found in all living organisms and it is known as the powerhouse. Therefore, mitochondria provides all the energy required in the cell by transforming energy forms through series of chemical reactions; breaking down of glucose into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) used for providing energy for cellular activities in the body of living organisms.

In a classroom experiment, you ground up some spinach in distilled water and filtered the liquid onto a piece of filter paper. The isolated organelles absorbed carbon dioxide and released oxygen. Thus, the cellular organelle which was most likely on the filter paper is mitochondria and the process it was performing is called cellular respiration.

Cellular respiration can be defined as a series of metabolic reactions that typically occur in cells so as to produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). During cellular respiration, high energy intermediates are created that can then be oxidized to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP).

Basically, oxygen goes into the body of a living organism such as plants, humans and animals when they breathe while glucose is absorbed by the body when they eat.
