Answer:  D. the atmosphere does not contribute to the phosphorus cycle.

Explanation:

The phosphorus cycle is different as compared to the carbon, water and nitrogen cycle as the phosphorus element cannot be found in the gaseous state as a result of this the phosphorus cannot be found in the earth atmosphere. The phosphorus can be found in the sedimentary mineral rocks. The weathering process of the sedimentary mineral rocks provides the inorganic phosphorus to the plants. This way the phosphorus cycle begins with the food chain.

Carbon in the form of carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and other gases can be found in the atmosphere.

Where is the Electron Transport System (ETS) located in prokaryotic cells?
kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

Cellular membrane.

Explanation:

In prokaryotes electron transport chain isIn prokaryotes electron transport chain is located in the cell membrane. ETC is defined as the series of complexes which helps in the transfer of electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via reduction, and oxidation reaction couple the transfer of protons with electron transport across a member.

The primary function of the ETC is generated a transmembrane proton electrochemical gradient, such as oxidation, and reduction reaction.

Explain how modern classification is different from linnaeus methods, and why scientists changed it
SCORPION-xisa [38]

The answer is that the criteria of classification change with the improved understanding of organisms around us. During the time of Aristotle, not much was known about the living organisms. So, he classified them as he observed. Plants were classified into herbs, shrubs and trees; very much like what’s taught to a second grade student. Animals as Enaima and Anaima based on the presence or absence of RBCs. After him, Carolus Linnaeus tried his hand over classification. He came up with the 2 kingdom classification: Plants and Animals. He considered only a set of morphological and physiological criteria to decide the kingdom to which an organism belongs. It includes presence of cell wall, mode of nutrition, contractile vacuole, locomotion and others. Based on these criteria, he included widely differing organisms into a single kingdom, for example, fungi, bacteria, algae, and higher plants were included into plant kingdom just because they have cell wall as a common aspect. Then came, Ernst Haeckel, who came with a third kingdom of Protista to include unicellular organisms. Copeland gave a 4 kingdom classification segregating unicellular organisms into 2 separate kingdoms based on their nuclear structure. R.H. Whittaker came next introducing the most accepted 5 kingdom classification system. You should understand one thing that man’s knowledge of classifying organisms improved with the improving technologies available to him, which he exploited to very effective extent. Carl Woese gave the 6 kingdom classification and 3 domain system based on the 16S rRNA sequence.

Our understanding of organisms around us is improving day by day and the system of classification will also change further in pace with the improvement in technology.

I hope this helps! :D]

Well-sorted sediments have grains of similar size, and are the result of much sediment transport and earth processes which segregated the sediment by depositing different size fractions in different places.
