Erosion is the process of eroding or being eroded by wind, water, or other natural agents. Erosion can dissolve rock, weakening it or turning it into tiny fragments. Deposition is the process by which sediments settles out of the water or wind that is carrying it, and is deposited in a new location. <span>Deposition transports previously eroded sediments, which, at the loss of enough kinetic energy in the fluid, is deposited, building up layers of sediment. </span>

astraxan [27]

The Griffith's experiment, the Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment, and the Hershey–Chase experiments were the set of experiments that established DNA as the key hereditary molecule. The Avery-MacLeod-McCarty experiment was an extension to the Griffith's experiment. The heat killed virulent S strain cells of the Griffith's experiment were lysed to form a supernatant containing a mix of RNA, DNA, proteins and lipids from the cell. The supernatent was equally divided into 3 parts after the removal of the lipids. The 3 parts were respectively treated with an RNAase to degrade the RNA, DNAase to degrade the DNA and proteinase to degrade the proteins. The treated supernatant was then added into the culture containing the non-virulent R cells. In case of the supernatant treated with the DNAse, no transformation of R cells into S cells occurred. The transformation of R cells to S cells occurred in the proteinase and the RNAse cases. This indicated that DNA was the hereditary molecule and not protein or RNA.

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

The question is incomplete, the correct question is;

Shell-builders use calcium carbonate molecules (CaCO3) to build their shells. Which of the following choices could be a source for the carbon atoms in the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) molecules?

respiration by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes

burning coal

calcium ions

car exhaust

wildfires

Answer is all of the above options except calcium ions.

The source for the carbon atoms in the calcium carbonate (CaCO3) molecules include respiration by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes , burning coal , car exhaust and wildfires.

Explanation:

Shell-builders (coral, oysters, lobsters, sea urchins, phytoplankton) utilize calcium carbonate molecules (CaCO3) to build their shells. The respiration process by organisms such as plants, animals and microbes, burning of fossil fuels, vehicle exhaust, wild fire etc produces carbon dioxide (CO2) and release it into the atmosphere. Oceans absorb carbon dioxide in the air by diffusing and dissolving it into the surface water. The amount of CO2 that dissolved in the water depends on concentrations of CO2, temperature of the water, wind, etc.

Phytoplanktons (microscopic, one-celled organisms) also bring carbon into the ocean from the air through photosynthesis, where they convert the carbon dioxide and water into glucose and other carbon compounds. These carbon compounds are consumed by the marine organisms and some carbon eventually ends up in deep seafloor sediments. The other processes which involved in the transfer of carbon from the air into deep seafloor sediments include photosynthesis , decomposition , waste products, etc.

The CO2 dissolved in the ocean combines with water molecules to produce carbonate (CO3-) ions, which then combine with calcium ions in the seawater to form calcium carbonate (CaCO3). This calcium carbonate is used by shell building organisms to build their shells, plates, inner skeletons etc.
