Answer:

The geosphere transfers carbon to the biosphere when volcanic eruptions occur. Burning fuels like carbon dioxide, fossils, gasoline also transfers carbon from the geosphere to the biosphere.

Carbon is incorporated into the geosphere when an organism dies. The carbon then forms fossils fuels etc. which are consumed by humans. The shells becoming limestone also transfers carbon. These limestones are used by humans for various purposes.

What structure in the female reproductive system produces eggs?

ovary

These oocytes are formed during the early development of the person, it is together formed in the embryonic stage of development.

In puberty, these oocytes have now been mature thus, the individual is ready for her first menstruation, it takes time before these oocytes are fully developed but they are formed as early as the state of the genitalia, brain, body was formed.
Somehow, it is like the brain, the brain is slowly developing til the near age of puberty or late childhood. 
Eyes are also an analogy to oocytes, during infancy these organs aren't developed yet and these years the child can only see vague and blurred vision and takes almost 2 years for the child to see clearly.

After strenuous exercise sore muscles can occur because of?

Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. A buildup of lactic acid in the tissues.

Sore muscles after vigorous exercise are the result of lactic acid accumulation in the muscles.

Vigorous exercise reduces the levels of oxygen available in the muscles due to which complete oxidation of the glucose could not take place.

Muscle cells switch to another process called as lactic acid fermentation to produce energy. In this process, lactate dehydrogenase converts pyruvate into lactate and reduces NADH to NAD⁺.

This NAD⁺ enables the continuation of glycolysis which results in the production of net 2 ATP.

In addition, influx of materials such as nutrients, WBC, anti-inflammatory compounds etc into the muscle cell (for repair) causes swelling of the muscle fibers which is also the reason for the muscle soreness.

Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer and Explanation:

$Greetings!$

$Let's~answer~your~question!$

Q1. Assume that an organism exists in which crossing over does not occur, but that all other processes associated with meiosis occur normally. Consider how the absence of crossing over would affect the outcome of meiosis.

→ $There~ would ~be~ less~ genetic ~variation~ among ~gametes.$
