<span>I am a Carbon atom and I took birth in the air. I had spend a memorable time in a molecule and there were two very nice oxygen atoms too. I just got into the air and I am very excited that I had my complete incoming box of electrons. I am a carbon atom and I have six electrons. Right now I am in a carbon dioxide molecule and I am just wondering in air. While i was enjoying my journey I waved to my friends like oxygen gas which is a molecule of two oxygen atoms.Oxygen atom is my best friend. I’ve heard stories of becoming solids and many different things when i was too young, but now I just like the air and I am loving it.</span>

Answer:

I am carbon atom denoted by a symbol C and  my atomic number is 6.  I am the member of group 14 in the periodic table. I am tetravalent having 4 electrons to form covalent chemical bond with other atoms. I live in air along with two molecules of oxygen as carbon dioxide(CO₂).  

Fixation: algea and terrestrial green plants take me as carbon dioxide from the external environment and convert me into polysacchride as their food in the process of photosynthesis.

Respiration: the consumers obtain the food prepared by the plants and obtain energy from it and again release me in the form of carbon dioxide.

Decomposition: in the decomposition process the animal, plant and human dead and decaying waste is converted from highly complex molecules to less complex molecules, i get produced along with two oxygen molecules (CO₂) in this process.

Fossil fuels: burning of fossil fuels like coal and petroleum leads to again my release as CO₂.

Which of the following is true of rods?
Alex17521 [72]

Answer: A - Rods are more numerous than cones

Explanation: Rods are found everywhere in the retina except the fovea (a tiny pocket in the retina where just about all of the cones are located).

B. The macula lutea is another word for fovea, no rods are found there.

C. Rods are utilized in low-light conditions and are not <em>sensitive</em> to wavelengths of light.

D. Cones are responsible for perceiving color and not rods.

E. The main function of the rods is to help us see in low-light conditions (scotopic vision), so this answer would be incorrect.

Locomotion in Metazoa is usually due to the contraction of what? a. Skeleton b. Muscle c. Skin d. Nerves
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: b. Muscles

A metazoa is a division of animal kingdom that includes all animals expect protozoa and sponges. Metazoa division includes multicelluar animals, which exhibit highly differentiated cells. They have muscular and nerve system and well coordinated tissues and organs. Locomotion requires a coordination activity of muscular, skeletal and neural system. It is mainly achieved by contraction and relaxation of muscles that occurs due to specialized muscle proteins named as actin and myosin which receives signals from nerves.

Hence, locomotion in metazoa is due to contraction of muscles.
