How do cell differentiation and cell division work together?
Flura [38]

Answer:

After mitosis is over, each of the daughter cells continues its separate life.

Explanation:

One or both can be started or continued through differentiation, ie. processes that give different cells special structures and functions. A cell destined to become a nerve cell moves in one way of differentiation, and a cell destined to be a muscle cell moves in another.

A variation of this mechanism involves a special type of cell called a stem cell. The stem cell divides by mitosis, whereby one daughter cell remains the stem cell and continues to divide again and again, while the other difference in certain cell peaks is determined in the tissues.

Phytoplankton are so tiny you need a microscope to see them. How do they affect the global carbon cycle?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Phytoplanktons are microscopic creatures that are primary producers of oceans. Phytoplanktons take carbon dioxide from atmosphere to make their food and then they are eaten by some other animals of oceans.

Phytoplanktons are present in huge numbers in oceans and have a great contribution to the carbon cycle because it is responsible for the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the oceans.  

Most of the carbon is released through combustion by animals that eat phytoplanktons but some accumulate in the ocean floor because some dead phytoplanktons settles down in the ocean.
