Why is this statement false? "The amount of carbon on our entire planet can increase or decrease depending on the fluctuations o

f the carbon cycle."
Biology

Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
7 0

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>False</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Carbon cycle is the process by which the <em>carbon in the atmosphere of earth</em> is exchanged and released in the biosphere and atmosphere of the earth.

<em>The statement listed above is false because amount of carbon is increased or decreased by the burning of fuels not by the fluctuation of the carbon cycle. </em>

This cycle is only the path way or <em>the procedure sketch of how carbon is transformed and exchanged in the atmosphere</em> it is not a cause in any way to reduce or increase the carbon content.

Name one major difference between a prokaryote cell and a eukaryote cell
MAXImum [283]
The prokaryote cell is simpler, and therefore smaller, than a eukaryote cell, lacking a nucleus and most of the other organelles of eukaryotes. There are two kinds of prokaryotes: bacteria and archaea; these share a similar structure. 

<span>Nuclear material of prokaryotic cell consist of a single chromosome that is in direct contact with cytoplasm. Here, the undefined nuclear region in the cytoplasm is called nucleoid. </span>

<span>A prokaryotic cell has three architectural regions: </span>

<span>On the outside, flagella and pili project from the cell's surface. These are structures (not present in all prokaryotes) made of proteins that facilitate movement and communication between cells; </span>
<span>Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope – generally consisting of a cell wall covering a plasma membrane though some bacteria also have a further covering layer called a capsule. The envelope gives rigidity to the cell and separates the interior of the cell from its environment, serving as a protective filter. Though most prokaryotes have a cell wall, there are exceptions such as Mycoplasma (bacteria) and Thermoplasma (archaea). The cell wall consists of peptidoglycan in bacteria, and acts as an additional barrier against exterior forces. It also prevents the cell from expanding and finally bursting (cytolysis) from osmotic pressure against a hypotonic environment. Some eukaryote cells (plant cells and fungi cells) also have a cell wall; </span>
<span>Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the cell genome (DNA) and ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. A prokaryotic chromosome is usually a circular molecule (an exception is that of the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, which causes Lyme disease). Though not forming a nucleus, the DNA is condensed in a nucleoid. Prokaryotes can carry extrachromosomal DNA elements called plasmids, which are usually circular. Plasmids enable additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance. </span>
<span>--------------------------------------... </span>
<span>Eukaryotic cells </span>

<span>Plants, animals, fungi, slime moulds, protozoa, & algae are all Eukaryotic. These cells are about 15 times wider than a typical prokaryote and can be as much as 1000 times greater in volume. The major difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that eukaryotic cells contain membrane-bound compartments in which specific metabolic activities take place. Most important among these is a cell nucleus, a membrane-delineated compartment that houses the eukaryotic cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true nucleus." Other differences include: </span>

<span>The plasma membrane resembles that of prokaryotes in function, with minor differences in the setup. Cell walls may or may not be present. </span>
<span>The eukaryotic DNA is organized in one or more linear molecules, called chromosomes, which are associated with histone proteins. All chromosomal DNA is stored in the cell nucleus, separated from the cytoplasm by a membrane. Some eukaryotic organelles such as mitochondria also contain some DNA. </span>
<span>Many eukaryotic cells are ciliated with primary cilia. Primary cilia play important roles in chemosensation, mechanosensation, and thermosensation. Cilia may thus be "viewed as sensory cellular antennae that coordinate a large number of cellular signaling pathways, sometimes coupling the signaling to ciliary motility or alternatively to cell division and differentiation." </span>
<span>Eukaryotes can move using motile cilia or flagella. The flagella are more complex than those of prokaryotes.

Hope this helps!! (If not I'm sorry!)</span>

what are two ways that scientists have studied space debris as a possible origin of organic compounds on Earth? What did they di
Lemur [1.5K]
1) One way is through radiographs. Scientists have studied the spectrum that distant nebulas give off and they have managed to identify molecules that can be found in there. Among them there is hydrogen and various nitrogen and carbon molecules; even alcohol has been found some of them. Another way is by sending probes to asteroids that check not only for simple organic molecules but also aminoacids and nucleotides. A third way was the Urey Miller experiment. There, some basic atoms that can be found in space (nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon) where put together with a spark in a flask. The mixture turned brown and produced complex organic molecules quite soon. This finding makes a case for complex organic molecules being produced in space and thus it is possible that they were transferred to Earth.
2) Geothermal vents are a source of hot water and raw nutrients such as sulphur. The main theory about the genesis of life around vents is that the cells started exploiting the pH or the thermal gradient near those vents and thus had a way to produce energy. The experimental set up for this is a chemical garden, an environment that simulates those alkaline and metallic conditions and yields hollow, plant-like structures. Also some metals in the vents are great catalysts for chemical reactions in organisms. Also fossilised microbes have been found beneath such vents.
