An octopus reproduces only once in its life, but it may have more than 100,000 offspring, depending on the species. Certain spec

ies of penguin, by contrast, have only one chick at a time. If some species can reproduce as rapidly as the octopus (100,000 offspring every 3 or 4 years).
How is it possible that a species that has only one young at a time is equally successful?

Not all of those offspring are likely to live to adulthood, whereas the parent penguin can pay attention to the one chick it has so it is more likely to live to adulthood

Put the steps of Cellular Respiration in order.
NNADVOKAT [17]

Answer:

The steps will be in order in the sequence 12,13,11,4 and 15

Explanation:

12. In glycolysis, glucose is converted into pyruvate. ATP and NADH ARE MADE.

13. Pyruvate is oxidized and converted into acetyl CoA in the mitochondria. Carbon dioxide and NADH are also made.

11. The acetyl CoA undergoes a series of changes and ATP, FADH2, NADH, and carbon dioxide are released.

4. NADH and FADH2 lose their electrons and get converted back into NAD+ and FAD.

15. Oxygen takes electrons and water is produced. 34 ATP molecules are released.

Explain how the elements that form clouds are conserved during the carbon cycle.
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

he carbon cycle is the circulation and transformation of carbon back and forth between living things and the environment. Carbon is an element, something that cannot be broken down into a simpler substance. Other examples of elements are oxygen, nitrogen, calcium, iron, and hydrogen. Carbon compounds are present in living things like plants and animals and in nonliving things like rocks and soil. Carbon compounds can exist as solids (such as diamonds or coal), liquids (such as crude oil), or gases (such as carbon dioxide). Carbon is often referred to as the "building block of life" because living things are based on carbon and carbon compounds.

The Carbon CycleSource: NASAClick to enlarge

The amount of carbon on the earth and in Earth's atmosphere is fixed, but that fixed amount of carbon is dynamic, always changing into different carbon compounds and moving between living and nonliving things. Carbon is released to the atmosphere from what are called "carbon sources" and stored in plants, animals, rocks, and water in what are called "carbon sinks." This process occurs in a number of steps. In the first step, through photosynthesis (the process by which plants capture the sun's energy and use it to grow), plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and release oxygen. The carbon dioxide is converted into carbon compounds that make up the body of the plant, which are stored in both the aboveground parts of the plants (shoots and leaves), and the belowground parts (roots). In the next step, animals eat the plants, breath in the oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide created by animals is then available for plants to use in photosynthesis. Carbon stored in plants that are not eaten by animals eventually decomposes after the plants die, and is either released into the atmosphere or stored in the soil.

Large quantities of carbon can be released to the atmosphere thr
