Biology
1 answer:
ehidna [41]3 years ago
3 0

Arteries are blood carrying vessels which have thick, elastic,  muscular walls, have no valves and in which blood flows under high pressure. The make up of arteries is unique to their function of transporting blood under high pressure. 

All arteries carry oxygenated blood from the  heart to all other parts of the body, with the exception of the pulmonary artery which carries de-oxygenated blood from the heart to the lungs. It is the only artery that transports blood which has not been oxygenated.

Which of the following does NOT accurately state a transfer of carbon in the carbon cycle?
Doss [256]

Answer:

The point that does NOT accurately indicate a carbon transfer in the carbon cycle is that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.

Explanation:

The carbon cycle involves the journey that carbon makes between living organisms and their surrounding environment, i.e. the entire biosphere, geosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere, and is therefore considered a biogeochemical cycle.

In living organisms, inorganic carbon is taken up by plants to make organic molecules, which will be used by animals - which release CO₂ into the atmosphere - or dead organic matter provides carbon to the soil.

The combustion of wood and debris involves the oxidation of a combustible material -which requires oxygen from atmosphere- to then release CO₂ as a product. So it is incorrect to say that burning of wood and debris pulls carbon from the atmosphere to use as energy.
