The arrows in the chart above represent the movement of carbon between four reservoirs: the ocean, plants, fossil fuels, and the

atmosphere. The numbers in the blue boxes show the gigatons of carbon moving each year. More carbon is moving into the vegetation for photosynthesis than is moving out to the atmosphere via respiration. This means that the vegetation reservoir is a carbon sink, taking in more carbon from the atmosphere than it is releasing to the atmosphere. A carbon source is the opposite. A reservoir that behaves as a carbon source releases more carbon to the atmosphere than it takes in.
Consider the statements listed here. Do they accurately describe potential changes in the model? Choose all that are correct:

1 - Deforestation would result in a decrease in the carbon sink.
2- Increased use of alternative energy sources such as solar and wind energy would 3 3 - result in a decrease in released or sourced carbon.
4 - If we consider non-industrialized countries, the model would remain the same.
5 - If global warming continues, we would expect a change in the amount of carbon found in the ocean reservoir.
6 - Combustion of fossil fuels acts as a carbon sink.
7 - All carbon in the atmosphere is made by humans.

Answer:

Air travel is usually the largest component of the carbon footprint of frequent flyers. A single return flight from London to New York – including the complicated effects on the high atmosphere – contributes to almost a quarter of the average person’s annual emissions. The easiest way to make a big difference is to go by train or not take as many flights.

2 The second most important lifestyle change is to eat less meat, with particular emphasis on meals containing beef and lamb. Cows and sheep emit large quantities of methane, a powerful global warming gas. A vegan diet might make as much as a 20% difference to your overall carbon impact but simply cutting out beef will deliver a significant benefit on its own.

What happens to the portion if the cell membrane that surrounds a large molecule during endocytosis

metchelle. When we say endocytosis, this is one of the cellular processes wherein the cell absorbs substances from the outside by invaginating the cell membrane. In this case, what happens to that part of the cell membrane that wraps around a large molecule during this process is that it separates from the membrane.Jun 1, 2017

A student decided to investigate the relation of height to resting heart rate. The student determined the resting heart rate of
frez [133]
Air temperature: When temperatures (and the humidity) soar, the heart pumps a little more blood, so your pulse rate may increase, but usually no more than five to 10 beats a minute.<span>Body position: Resting, sitting or standing, your pulse is usually the same. Sometimes as you stand for the first 15 to 20 seconds, your pulse may go up a little bit, but after a couple of minutes it should settle down. Emotions: If you’re stressed, anxious or “extraordinarily happy or sad” your emotions can raise your pulse. </span><span>Body size: Body size usually doesn’t change pulse. If you’re very obese, you might see a higher resting pulse than normal, but usually not more than 100. </span><span>Medication use: Meds that block your adrenaline (beta blockers) tend to slow your pulse, while too much thyroid medication or too high of a dosage will raise it.
