The correct answer is 4. Plants.

Plants use carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis process where they use carbon dioxide to form energy rich molecules and release oxygen to the atmosphere. The carbon is present in atmosphere as carbon dioxide in higher concentration and methane in lower concentration. Carbon dioxide is removed by several processes such as by the formation of carbonic acid when the surface ocean water cool down and absorb more carbon dioxide near the poles, through conversion of the reduced carbon to carbonates or organic tissues like shells and by photosynthesis of plants which is an exchange process where plants absorb carbon dioxide and in turn release oxygen.

How did creating a greenbelt affect sprawl? Why do you think this happened?
scZoUnD [109]
The OECD found that the responsiveness of housing supply to demand in the UK was the weakest among developed countries, due in large part to green belt policies. The green belt concept was first introduced for London in 1938 before the 1947 Town and Country Planning Act enabled local authorities to designate the status themselves. The policy was introduced to contain urban sprawl following huge post-war housing developments, and expanded greatly between 1951 and 1964. Since 1979, the green belt has doubled to cover 13 per cent of land in England (while only 2.3 per cent is covered by buildings).

Pepsin is a digestive enzyme. It is made in an inactive form, pepsinogen, which is activated by the acidity of the stomach to se
Paladinen [302]

Answer: Positive feedback loop

Explanation:

Even before the food reaches the stomach (before ingesting it), the glands of the stomach mucosa begin to release its gastric secretion. The main characteristic of this secretion is acidity, as measured by pH (one of the physiological variables).

This acidity is a result of the presence of hydrochloric acid, which is part of the secretion composition. In addition to it, water, pepsinogen (which will give rise to the enzyme pepsin) and the intrinsic factor. The acid has a function of the protection of the entire system by eliminating microorganisms. It is also responsible for the activation of pepsin (which only occurs with acid pH), the enzyme that digests proteins containing the amino acids leucine or phenylalanine or tryptophan or tyrosine.

The concept of Positive feedback loop states that the body tries to increase the value of a variable (acidity, in the case of pepsinogen) when it is below its optimal value (called a point adjustment) and decreases this value when it is above optimal.
