WHICH!!!!! phenomena release CO2 into the atmosphere?

1 answer:

8 0

A lot of carbon stored inside the Earth may soon re-enter the atmosphere, according to a new, global study on soil-based carbon. The massive release of carbon could be the equivalent of adding another fully industrialized country the size of the United States to the map over the coming decades.

Plants, animals, and microbes absorb much of the carbon dioxide released into the Earth's atmosphere by burning fossil fuels. As these plants and animals die, their carbon-based bodies become part of the soil, storing the equivalent of millions of tons of greenhouse gases in the dirt. As atmospheric carbon dioxide is a primary driver of climate change, some have pointed to this soil absorption as a helpful carbon sink, somewhat alleviating the human-caused warming of the planet. But as surface temperatures continue to rise, a lot of the carbon stored in the soil may be set to re-enter the atmosphere in a big way.

Answer: The correct answer is- C) macrophages.

Macrophages are a type of phagocytic cell of immune system as they engulf/eat foreign pathogen (such as bacteria) through a process called phagocytosis.

These cells play significant role in initiating the immune response in the body.

They first detect the invading pathogen (foreign substances), after which they engulf and destroy them.

They are produced by differentiation of monocyte when monocyte leave bloodstream and enter specific tissue sites such as spleen, lungs, lymph nodes.

An early consequence of the release of oxygen gas by plant and bacterial photosynthesis was to ________.

zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

(D) cause iron in ocean water and terrestrial rocks to rust (oxidize).

Explanation:

The primitive atmosphere on the earth was reducing since free molecular oxygen was not present in it. Evolution of autotrophic organisms that split water during photosynthesis and release oxygen as a by-product changed the atmosphere into an oxidizing one. Plants and bacteria were some of these autotrophs. The addition of oxygen to the atmosphere led to oxidation of metal ions such as iron present in the water of oceans and rocks. Oxidation of iron led to the formation of iron oxide that formed rust layer on it.
