Answer:

Human releases carbon dioxide during respiration and also certain activities performed by him  lead to generation of carbon which at some stage become the part of biogeochemical cycle.

Explanation:

Carbon is an elementary part of all living beings and thus is found in almost all the living organism and human as an evolved species has the ability to take in oxygen and release carbon dioxide.  

This released carbon dioxide enters into the biogeochemical cycles (predominantly the carbon cycle) and get converted into useful form again after going through a cyclical process via various biotic and abiotic stages.  

Also certain human activities like burning of fossil fuels, wood etc also releases carbon based product such as carbon di-oxide, carbon mono-oxide etc, . These products from unnatural process also become part of biogeochemical cycle.

Biogeochemicle cycles are the pathways by which a chemical substances (carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, phosphorus) moves through biotic (biosphere) and abiotic (lithosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere) compartments.

Organic carbon is found in all land-living organisms,, as well as soils in form of the calcium carbonate. Plants and animals(including humans) utilize carbon to produce carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, which are then be used to build their internal structures or to obtain energy. Carbon is released into the air through the processes of respiration in a form of CO2.

The negatively human impact on the carbon cycle is through direct emissions from burning fossil fuels (transfer of carbon from the geosphere into the atmosphere) or through the process of calcination of limestone for clinker production, which releases CO2.

What are chemicals used to soften polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic found in a variety of products, such as detergents, cosmetics
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B, that is, phthalates.

Explanation:

A class of chemicals that are used to soften plastics like PVC, function as fixatives and solvents and bind fragrances in the products are known as phthalates. The human encountering with the chemicals can take place via:  

1. Inhalation of fragrances or fumes from fixatives and solvents,  

2. Chewing on a plastic toy by a child that develops small openings in the plastic, which provides a space for the chemical to get leached from the toy into the mouth of the child.  

3. Through the absorption of perfumes, lotion, and deodorants.  

The serious health effects of the chemicals comprise developmental and reproductive issues, hormone disruption, low sperm count, asthma, undescended testes, preterm birth, premature puberty, and development of certain kinds of cancers.

Which structures are fingerlike projections that greatly increase the absorbing surface of cells?.
Illusion [34]

Microvilli are the structures of fingerlike projections that greatly increase the absorbing surface of the cells.

<h3>What is Microvilli? </h3>

Microvilli are membrane protrusions that resemble fingers and are sustained by the actin cytoskeleton. They are present in practically all cell types. An increasing amount of research indicates that the highly curved membranes of the dynamic lymphocyte microvilli play a critical role in signal transduction that triggers immunological responses.

The examination of the process that generates curvature and its functional implications in signaling, however, was impeded by difficulties in altering local membrane curvature and tracking the high dynamicity of microvilli. Recent developments in adaptive super-resolution microscopy have helped to partially overcome these technological obstacles.

Therefore the structure that increases the absorbing surface area is called microvilli.

Into which taxon would you classify the following organism: a multicellular eukaryote, with a cellulose cell wall, that is photo
Tresset [83]

Answer:

d) Plantae.

Explanation:

Kingdom Plantae includes plants which are multicellular organisms and have tissue or organ system level of body organization. These organisms have a cell wall made of cellulose and bear chlorophyll in chloroplasts which in turn allow them to carry out the process of photosynthesis. All the green plants are placed in Kingdom Plantae.

A treatment for methanol poisoning is to have the victim drink large amounts of ethanol. Why might this be an effective treatmen
almond37 [142]
If you drink methanol or touch it or even smell it really close you can get really sick or you die because is like gasoline so If you drink ethanol you die to even that's made out of sugar cane there's another substances in it so if you drink it you die.
