Answer:

Don't worry I'm here to help

Explanation:

The ocean plays an important part in the carbon cycle.

Overall, the ocean is called a carbon 'sink' because it takes up more carbon from the atmosphere than it gives up.

Photosynthesis by tiny marine plants (phytoplankton) in the sunlit surface waters turns the carbon into organic matter.

You are operating a powerboat at night. Your red sidelight must be visible to boats approaching from which direction(s)?

Degger [83]

I believe the answer is head-on and port (left). The side lights are usually visible to vessels approaching from the front or the side. The red light usually indicates a vessel's port (left) side while the green light indicates a vessel's starboard (right) side. These lights ensure that there is safety at night as the vessels navigate.
