The aerobic system of energy production uses glycogen, but primarily glucose as its energy source.

Glucose is taken in by the cell and broken into pyruvate in the process of glycolysis, the first step in aerobic cell respiration. It takes place in the cell cytoplasm.

Pyruvate is then used in the Krebs cycle in the cell mitochondria in the second step of respiration which produces high energy electron carriers. These high energy electron carries such as NADP are then employed in the electron transport chain, the last step of the respiration process, where a large number of ATP molecules is produced.

By the time the process of aerobic respiration ends, 36 to 38 molecules of ATP are produced from one single molecule of glucose.

Removes carbon from air: photosynthesis by plants and algae
Release of carbon into atmosphere: respiration (animals exhale CO2), factory emissions, eruption of volcanoes, hydrothermal vents, and breakdown of organic matter
Release of carbon into the soil: Shells of marine organisms form limestone, and some carbon from decomposing organisms is stored in the soil
*This isn’t every possible pathway but hopefully this will help get you started. I’m going to attach a picture of the carbon cycle (not mine) to help you visualize the process.

Why are they important?

They are important because with out these we would not be living because for example water is a abiotic factor and we can't live with out water!

Which is an example of positive gravitropism?

AveGali [126]

Answer:

c. the plant root growing down into the soil

Explanation:

The plant root going down deep into the soil is an example of positive gravitropism. Gravity pulls everything towards the center of earth i.e. downwards and roots follow the direction of gravity automatically by growing downward towards soil that is why it is known as positive gravitropism. In short we can say that root favors the direction of gravity.

Shoot on the other hand show negative geotropism/gravitropism i.e. it grows towards the opposite direction of gravity. Shoot grow towards upside direction i.e. away from the surface towards sky.
