<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.

The term for energy of movement
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer;

-Kinetic energy

Explanation;

The energy associated with motion or movement is called kinetic energy.

-Kinetic and potential energies are found in all objects. If an object is moving, it is said to have kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy is stored energy and the energy of position; gravitational energy.

-An object that has motion - whether it is vertical or horizontal motion - has kinetic energy. Kinetic energy is calculated by the formula 1/2mv², where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of the object.

-Therefore, kinetic energy depends upon two variables: the mass (m) of the object and the speed (v) of the object.

(a) Describe the process by which cells produce the FGF5 pre-mRNA , and include the location
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Explanation:

mRNA (messanger ribonucleic acid) is produced through the process called transcription in the nucleus. Transcription make ribonucleic acid from deoxyribonucleic acid. The enzyme RNA polymerase creates an RNA molecule that is complementary to the template DNA coping all the information on the DNA into the mRNA formed and 3' to 5' cap are added to stabilize the RNA after which this mRNA then moves from the nucleus where it was produced to the ribosome in the cytoplasm for translation of the information that is coded in the bases.

FGF5 is a gene that is encoded in the DNA.

What are two techniques used to restore biodiversity
Zarrin [17]

Two techniques that are used in order to restore the biodiversity are the sawing of native seeds or planting individual plants, and the reintroduction of animal species native to the ecosystem.

The restoration of the biodiversity is practically trying to get an ecosystem in its initial, pre-destruction condition, and help it function without any human assistance after certain amount of time.

All restorations of the biodiversity are hard and take time, and there's no guarantee that the outcome will be as planned and wanted. Initially, there the sawing of native seeds and planting individual plants, which is crucial as the plants are the basis of the ecosystems. After that animal species are introduced, small and large, herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. The people initially have to assist the functioning of the ecosystem, but the idea is to make it function properly over time on its own.
