Answer:

The first thing to look at would be type of symmetry the organism exhibits. If it is asymmetrical then it would be a sponge and the discovery could stop right there. If not, other characteristics need to be investigated.

Knowing the type of body cavity this organism has would be helpful.

It would also be beneficial to know what type of skeleton (endo or exo) this organism has and what its appendages look like.

Finally, the type of digestive tract and the presence or absence of a head would help to determine what this creature is.

How do trees act as carbon sinks?
Romashka [77]


The best answer is D.

A carbon sink is anything that absorbs more carbon than it produces or releases.

The main carbon sinks found in nature are plants, the ocean and soil.  Plants such as trees capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it in photosynthesis. Part of this carbon is transferred to soil as the trees and other plants die and decompose.

Due to the effectiveness of trees and other plants as carbon sinks,  the Kyoto protocol proposed that emission reduction can be achieved through absorption of carbon dioxide by these plants.
