Plants take the CO2 from the atmosphere which is used in Calvin's cycle to synthesize organic compounds that end up building the plant. This fact can be proved by marking the atmospheric CO2 with radioactive isotopes of carbon, afterwards using a Geiger counter the plant will present radioactivity.

The carbon in the atmosphere is most commonly found in the form of CO2

it has a concentration of 0.04%.CO2 is a byproduct of aerobic respiration

or combustion, for example, C6H12O6+6O2-->6CO2+6H2O. The CO2 is then used by plants in photosynthesis as mentioned earlier.

Carbon is present in the biosphere because all life is made of carbon.

Carbon is present in the geosphere most commonly under the form of hydrocarbons like methane(CH4). The carbon present in geosphere is a result of organisms decay and metabolic byproducts. For example, methanogen bacteria synthesize methane in anaerobic conditions reducing hydrogen in the presence of CO2(CO2+4H2⇒CH4+2H2O). Carbon in the geosphere can also be found in coal that becomes diamond under extreme pressure and temperature.

Cherry cells have 32 chromosomes. how many chromosomes do each of the daughter cells produced by mitosis have?
romanna [79]
They have the same 32 they are diploid. Meiosis makes haploid cells so there would only be 16.

State the differences in compositionof blood between the aorta and main vein
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

The placenta is a unique vascular organ that receives blood supplies from both the maternal and the fetal systems and thus has two separate circulatory systems for blood: (1) the maternal-placental (uteroplacental) blood circulation, and (2) the fetal-placental (fetoplacental) blood circulation. The uteroplacental circulation starts with the maternal blood flow into the intervillous space through decidual spiral arteries. Exchange of oxygen and nutrients take place as the maternal blood flows around terminal villi in the intervillous space. The in-flowing maternal arterial blood pushes deoxygenated blood into the endometrial and then uterine veins back to the maternal circulation. The fetal-placental circulation allows the umbilical arteries
