Answer:

Explanation:

Electrolytes are minerals that carry electric charges, positive or negative. Most common electrolytes are: sodium, potassium, calcium, chloride, phosphate, bicarbonate and magnesium. These minerals dissolve in a fluid to form charged ions. They can be located in extracellular and intracellular fluids, in this case, sodium is the major cation (particle with positive charge) located in extracellular fluids (outside cells).

The main function of electrolytes is to maintain homeostasis, which is a property about the capacity of maintain a stable internal condition within a organism. Electrolytes are present in nervous system and muscles functions, to maintain proper hydration and ph levels.

By which process do plants obtain carbon from the atmosphere

Sliva [168]

Answer: A) Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis: The process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a byproduct.

Cellular Respiration: Is a set of metabolic reactions and processes that take place in the cells of organisms to convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and then release waste products.

Decomposition: Is the process by which organic substances are broken down into simpler organic matter. The process is a part of the nutrient cycle and is essential for recycling the finite matter that occupies physical space in the biosphere. Bodies of living organisms begin to decompose shortly after death.

Burning Fossil Fuels: is a fuel formed by natural processes, such as anaerobic decomposition of buried dead organisms, containing energy originating in ancient photosynthesis. Such organisms and their resulting fossil fuels typically have an age of millions of years, and sometimes more than 650 million years.

(Extra)>Carbon moves from the atmosphere to plants. In the atmosphere, carbon is attached to oxygen in a gas called carbon dioxide (CO2). Through the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is pulled from the air to produce food made from carbon for plant growth. Carbon moves from plants to animals.
