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.

What are the steps to construct a modern beehive​
Nikolay [14]

Answer:

go and type this you will get it

Explanation:

How to construct a modern beehive​

Hope it helps you

In traditional hives, the bees make their own wax combs that are often attached to each other, so harvesting the honey is difficult. Honey can be extracted only two or three times a year from a traditional beehive. A modern beehive produces double to triple the volume of honey compared to a traditional hive.

Why are genetic variation and selective breeding are advantages of sexual reproduction?
soldier1979 [14.2K]
The evolution of sexual reproduction is a great puzzle in modern evolutionary biology. Many groups of eukaryotic organisms, especially most animals and plants, reproduce sexually. The evolution of sex between two organisms of the same species contains two related but different themes: its origin and its maintenance. However, since hypotheses for the origin of sex are difficult to test experimentally, most of the current work has focused on the maintenance of sexual reproduction. Biologists, including W. D. Hamilton, Alexei Kondrashov, and George C. Williams, have proposed various explanations for how sexual reproduction is maintained in a large set of different living things.

Materials pass to and from the bloodstream through the thin walls. They have walls that are only one endothelial cell in thickness.

There, the nutrients are burned in the presence of oxygen (catabolism) to release energy.
At the same time, waste products such as carbon dioxide and water pass out of the cells and into these blood vessels.
