<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.

What form of anesthetic was used for field surgery
cestrela7 [59]

Answer: Anesthesia

Explanation:

Anesthesia was used in 95% of Civil War surgeries. Sulfuric ether had been discovered in Europe in the 1830's and was first used as an anesthetic by William Morton in 1846. After a successful public demonstration it became widely used in surgery.

The various parts of the endomembrane system serve different functions in the cell. In this activity, you will identify the role
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

1. protein synthesis - (b) rough ER

2. protein modification and sorting - (c) Golgi apparatus

3. macromolecule digestion - (d) lysosomes

4. lipid synthesis - (a) smooth ER

5. autophagy - (d) lysosomes

6. cisternal maturation - (c) Golgi apparatus

7. calcium ion storage - (a) smooth ER

8. poison detoxification - (a) smooth ER

Explanation:

Rough ER or rough endoplasmic reticulum with the help of ribosomes is responsible for protein synthesis and their subsequent transport to various other parts of the cell that is why both these organelles are also known as protein factory.

Soon after proteins are synthesized with the help of rough ER, they are transported to another network of organelle known as golgi apparatus. In golgi apparatus, the nascent protein is further modified and sorted. Modification and sorting of proteins help in identifying their final destination i.e. whether the protein is meant for mitochondria or plasma membrane or some other organelle. Maturation of cisternae also takes place in golgi apparatus.

Smooth ER or smooth endoplasmic reticulum is responsible for lipid synthesis, storage of calcium ions and poison detoxification. Most of the steroid hormones, triglycerols etc. are synthesized in the smooth endoplasmic reticulum. Smooth ER also stores calcium ions so that whenever they are required they can be sequestered back into the cytosol. Poison detoxification occurs in the smooth ER of liver because the enzymes present in the liver are capable of converting such hydrophobic substances into hydrophilic substances so that they could be easily secreted out of the body.

Lysosome is the organelle which is responsible for macromolecule digestion and autophagy. Lysosomes have very low pH and a lot of hydrolyzing enzymes which can easily digest macromolecules. Autophagy is a self degradable process in which damaged cells are eaten or destroyed by lysosomes so that their macromolecules could be broken down into their monomers so that they can be reused by our body.
