Biology
1 answer:
Temka [501]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

d. The carbon atoms came from carbon dioxide and were incorporated into sugars through photosynthesis in the grass.

Explanation:

Grass eating cows are heterotrophs and can not synthesize the organic sugars by themselves. They derive it from grasses they eat.  

Grasses are the autotrophs that can fix atmospheric carbon dioxide into glucose in the presence of sunlight by the process of photosynthesis. The extra glucose formed during photosynthesis is stored in the cells of grasses in the form of starch and becomes a source of carbon for herbivores such as cows.

Outline the process of the Carbon Cycle.
Bond [772]

Answer:

Carbon Cycle Definition

Carbon cycle is the process where carbon compounds are interchanged among the biosphere, geosphere, pedosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere of the earth.

Carbon Cycle Steps

Following are the major steps involved in the process of the carbon cycle:

Carbon present in the atmosphere is absorbed by plants for photosynthesis.

These plants are then consumed by animals and carbon gets bioaccumulated into their bodies.

These animals and plants eventually die, and upon decomposing, carbon is released back into the atmosphere.

Some of the carbon that is not released back into the atmosphere eventually become fossil fuels.

These fossil fuels are then used for man-made activities, which pumps more carbon back into the atmosphere.

Hope it helps!!!

Match the mountain range with its formation. 1. Appalachian 2. North American Cordillera 3. Aleutian 4. Andes A. Two continents
melisa1 [442]

Appalachian: A. Two continents colliding.


The Appalachian mountain range is an ancient example of a collision between two continental plates. Both plates have low density and little subduction occurs between them.


North American Cordillera: B. Terrane accretion


These form when two continents that collided bonded so tight that it forms a permanent land mass. If the continents would pull away from each other, the terrane stays intact.


Aleutian plate: D. Oceanic convergence


This is a type of convergence where one plate subducts beneath another plate. Between the two, the older plate is usually the one that subducts because it is usually more dense.


Andes mountain range: C. An oceanic plate and continental plate colliding.


In the collision between an oceanic and continental plate, the thinner and more dense oceanic plate subducts under the continental plate. The Andes mountain range was formed by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South american Plate.
