All life on Earth is considered carbon-based because the building blocks of all the living organisms, including human beings, are the biomolecules based on carbon: proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates.

Oxygen is an element necessary element for various cell processes, so humans may be referred to as oxygen-dependent life forms.

Humans, alongside all other life on this planet, have carbon as the basic element found in every thing in their body. One may say that carbon is omnipresent within living beings. With us, we breathe oxygen as we need it for basic PROCESSES of life, whereas carbon provides the actual structures of the things which take in that oxygen. Without carbon as the base element of life, Earth's creatures and general environment would be very different. I honestly hope that this answer makes sense to you.

The Gulf Stream passes from the Gulf of Mexico, northward along the coast of eastern North America, and eastward toward Ireland,

I believe it is keeping these regions warm because the water is flowing from the SOUTHERN part of these regions, like, how it starts from the bottom of the US, (aka Louisiana, Mississippi), and it gradually flows upward, but hot always overrules cold, so the cold water that it is flowing into is becoming warmer as it passes into the warm water from the gulf of Mexico.
Hope that this helps :)

They use a internal pouch which is named swim bladder.




Explanation; Oxygen will enter a fish’s mouth, and passes through their gills. The oxygen will be taken and gets carried by hemoglobin through their bloodstream. Hemoglobin will take out some of the oxygen into their swim bladder. The amount of oxygen will show if they will sink or rise. Your question is how do they rise. If he goes up too much, the meaning of this is when the gas diffuses into their blood and out the gills.




Got this from a writing, but rephrased it.

Answer:

Towards the southern of the sound

Explanation:

As the motion of the source of sound is moving,the percieved sound frequency varies .this is known as Doppler effect.the sound waves emited by the sources tends to bunch up in front of the source and spread out behind the source.

Since the falcon is moving towards the sound,the frequency increases and so does the pitch of the sound
