carbon dioxide entering the ocean from the atmosphere continually.explain how some og this carbon can become “tied up” in the oc
swat32

Answer:

Carbon can become "tied up" in the ocean for hundreds and sometimes millions of years because dissolved carbon dioxide in water can sink with cold water to the bottom where it is moved slowly by deep ocean currents for hundreds of years before it is released to the atmosphere. This can lead to ocean acidification (the ongoing decrease (more acidic) in the pH of the Earth's oceans, caused by the uptake of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere)

allochka39001 [22]
<span>Descartes ultimately uses the mind-body monism solution in order to resolve his methodological doubt. Descartes believed that there was a distinct mind that was separate from the brain. However, he believed that the mind had control over the brain. This is where he came up with the theory of mind-body monism.</span>

How might targeting rapidly growing cells explain common chemotherapy side effects such as hair loss and nausea
IrinaVladis [17]

Cancer cells are the cells that divide rapidly than any other cells in the body. The drugs used in chemotherapy work on rapidly dividing cancer cells. Some cells of our body apart from cancer cells also divide rapidly along with the cancer cells such as the cells that line the stomach and the digestive tract. Chemotherapy drugs cannot differentiate the cancer cells and the normal cells so these drugs also attack the normal cells which divide rapidly along with the cancer cells. The drugs also attack the cells that are present in the roots of the hair. So, this results in the hair loss. Hair loss does not occur immediately after the chemotherapy treatment instead it starts after few treatments. The degree of the hair loss after chemotherapy depends on the drug type and process. So when the chemotherapy drugs are used it results in the hair loss and nausea.

Therefore, when chemotherapy drugs attack normal cells including the roots of the hair instead of cancer cells that divide rapidly along with the cancer cells it results in the hair loss and nausea.
