Explain how carbon is cycled through the biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere.

Biology

docker41 [41]3 years ago
8 0

Explanation:

Living organisms in the biosphere release carbon dioxide into the atmosphere during cellular respiration. This carbon dioxide in the atmosphere dissolves into the hydrosphere mainly oceans and lakes at the interphase between the atmosphere and hydrosphere. The dissolved carbon dioxide can be utilized again by photosynthetic planktons through photosynthesis. The plankton from the base of a large food web in the marine environment creating large biomasses. When these organisms die, they sink to the bottom of the oceans or lakes taking carbon to the bottom of the oceans. The biomass accumulates with sediments and over many years becomes part of the geosphere as sedimentary rocks.

The rocks may become exposed to the earth’s surface over millions years by tectonic plants. The exposed rocks will become vulnerable to agents of erosion that will unlock the carbon-based minerals in the rocks so they become available to plants and other organisms in the biosphere..and the cycle continues.

How has the discovery of Gram Staining<br><br> revolutionized how microbes are treated
Flauer [41]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>The discovery of Gram staining has revolutionized how microbes, especially bacteria, are classified. Bacteria that are positive for Gram staining are classified as Gram-positive while those that are negative to the procedure are termed Gram-negative.</em>

What constitutes positivity or negativity to the Gram staining procedure is the ability of the cell walls of bacteria to either retain a dye or allow it to be washed off during the procedure. The components of the cell wall differentiate Gram-positive bacteria from the Gram-negative ones and confer the ability to retain dye on the former. Gram-positive bacteria have thick peptidoglycan cell walls and lower lipid contents as compared to the Gram-negative bacteria and with this, they are able to retain the color of the stain used during the Gram staining procedure.

During the Gram staining, a scoop of the bacterial isolate is usually smeared and heat-fixed to a glass slide. Thereafter, crystal violet drops are added to the slide, poured off, and then rinsed with water. A few drops of iodine are then added and allowed to stay for a few seconds before being poured off and rinsed. A decolorizer (an alcohol) is then added to the slide, allowed to stay for a few seconds before it is washed off. The addition of a counterstain follows and the slide is allowed to stay for another few seconds before the stain is washed off. The slide is then rid of water and then viewed under the microscope. <u>A Gram-positive bacterium will able to retain the color of the dye which is purple</u> while a <u>negative bacterium will lose the color of the dye and appear red under the microscope</u>.
