Question

Which of the following statements is false?

Answer 1

Answer:

A Carbon can be stored in the body fat of a salmon.

Explanation:

Salmon can be seen as food which are a classified as an oily fish in which they tend to have rich content of protein as well as omega-3 fatty acids.

Therefore this statement about carbon "A Carbon can be stored in the body fat of a salmon" is FALSE because CARBON can move within the cells of an organism, they are degraded by amino acids and Carbon can remain in soil bacteria for a long time.

1.CARBON can move within the cells of an organism:Carbon is found in all living things because they tend to constantly move  through  living  organisms such as the oceans, the atmosphere as well as the Earth's crust.

2.Carbon are degraded by amino acids because they can help to give rise to ketone bodies or fatty acids.

3.Carbon can remain in soil bacteria for a long time because Living organisms always contain a fair proportion of the element carbon which is why  soil organic matter can be 50 to 58% carbon by dry weight in which  some of it can remain  in the soil for a long period of time.

Thus CARBON can as well be found in an environment where living organisms breathe and they are also in organic matter in the soil and rocks.
