What is the purpose of the carbon cycle?
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

The purpose of the carbon cycle is to utilize the carbon by the organisms such as plant which uses carbon in the form of carbondioxide for making food. This carbon is stored in the form of glucose. When this food is eaten by the animals, it is broken down into simpler substances and carbondioxode is released in the atmosphere again.

Some carbon is present in soil which is used by microorganisms such as bacteria. So carbon cycle is very important for the survival of life on earth.

__________ contains the purest form of resin that can have thc levels as high as 28%.
BARSIC [14]

The right answer is Hashish (<em>Cannabis sativa</em>)


Cannabis is a plant that originates from hemp <em>Cannabis sativa</em>. Modified by many human actions, this plant, after flowering, produces a white substance called tetrahydrocannabinol (THC: delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol chemical psychotropic).

It is responsible for the psychoactive effects of the plant and therefore gives the status of "narcotic" cannabis. The concentration of THC is very variable depending on how to grow it and where the product comes from.
