Answer:

The correct answer is that it can result in to put dirt, allergens or pathogen that can lead to activate the immune system and produce the antibodies for such pathogen.

Explanation:

The nose has very thin hairs and mucus that help to prevent the allergen, dirt or pathogen to enter in the inside when we breathe. It is a protection system for the respiratory system. If an individual is picking his nose he can literally insert the dirt, bacteria or another pathogen present on his finger by himself.  

The immune system recognizes these pathogens and produces specific antibodies accordingly

Thus, the correct answer is - it can activate the immune system to respond by producing antibodies.

The correct answer is: B. A person spends one hour each day under the ultraviolet rays of a tanning bed.

The relationships between  ultraviolet (UV) light and skin cancer are highly positive because it has been shown that indoor tanning bed use represents an avoidable risk factor for melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancer. UV light is a form of radiation that causes mutations in DNA by causing the chemical changes that alter the shape of the DNA. So, UV light is a potent mutagen and thus, tanning bed (source of UV light) can cause damage to the DNA in the surface layer of your skin after repeated or prolonged exposure. This might increase the risk for skin cancer.

How does carbon enter the biotic part of the ecosystem, namely plants from the atmosphere?
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

Basically, the ecosystem consists of all plants and animals, that interact with each other, and are living in a particular territory. Plants and animals represent the biotic (living) component of the ecosystem, while the soil, minerals, gasses, climate etc. represent abiotic (non- living) part.

Carbon is an essential element for all living beings and it is the main component of both organic and inorganic components.

Now, the question is how does that carbon enter the biotic part of ecosystem from the atmosphere (abiotic part).

In the atmosphere, carbon is mostly found in the form of carbon dioxide (CO₂). Plants are able to use it in this form, and with water and sunlight, through the process of photosynthesis, incorporate it in the organic components, such as sugar and complex carbohydrates. Animals that feed on plants can now ingest these compounds, making it part of their own organisms.

In this way, photosynthesis is the main process by which carbon from the atmosphere enter the biotic part of the ecosystem.
